Precious Wilson is a Jamaican soul singer and award-winning international songwriter, born on October 18, 1957, in Spanish Town, Jamaica. She is recognized as one of the pioneers of the UK Black music revolution of the 70s and 80s, alongside notable artists such as Junior Giscombe, Jazzy B (Soul 2 Soul), Heatwave, Loose Ends, Leee John (Imagination), Eddy Grant, and Carol Thompson. In 1975, Wilson joined the band Eruption, which was formed in 1969, initially serving as a back vocalist. Her contributions helped the band win the RCA Soul Search contest. Eruption recorded a hit single, “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” in 1977, which became a major success largely due to Wilson's powerful voice. Another significant song featuring Wilson was “One Way Ticket,” which achieved high chart positions globally. However, in 1979, Precious Wilson left Eruption to pursue a solo career.
