    The Voice was the idea of two black men – one light skinned Jamaican, Val McCalla, who had a white wife and biracial children. The other was a dark skinned Grenadian, Alex Pascal, with a black wife and black children. The Jamaican ousted the Grenadian, then drafted in his white friends to help exploit the need for Black representation. A sad but true story about backstabbing, disloyalty and faithlessness.
