Tenor Saw (född som Clive Bright; 11 februari 1966 i Kingston, Jamaica, död 20 augusti 1988 i Houston, Texas) var en av de mest framgångsrika reggaesångarna inom sub-genren dancehall på 1980-talet,[1] under de år då elektroniska och programmerbara instrument gjorde sitt intåg i den jamaicanska populärmusiken. Hans mest kända låtar var "Ring The Alarm (Another Sound Is Dying)" 1985 till "Stalag 17"-rytmen, "Roll Call" 1984, "Pumpkin Belly" och "Lots Of Sign" 1985.
Han blev påkörd av en bil och avled endast 21 år gammal i Houston, Texas, USA.[2][3] Dödsorsaken är dock till denna dag omdiskuterat. En medisinsk obduktion i Houston indikerar lunginflammation.[4] Andra påstår at Tenor Saw blev mördad.[5]

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
