HOPETON LEWIS HAS PASSED ON

EVERYBODY’S Mag. is confirming the death of Hopeton Lewis, one of Jamaica’s great entertainers. He had massive hits in the 1970s. He became a born-again-christian and specialized in gospel music until his death. Hopeton passed at his home in Queens, NY after years of prostrate issues. His last performance, in June, was covered by this magazine. He sang one song since he was released from a hospital a few days before.
