In popular culture

The city was the subject of the namesake song by Bobby Bloom in 1970, later covered by Jon Stevens ten years later, and was revived by Amazulu who became a minor hit in the U.S. in September 1986.
Several scenes from the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die (in which Roger Moore appeared as Bond for the first time) were filmed around Montego Bay.[16]
The 2002 song "Montego Slay" from the album O.S.T. by American Hip-Hop group People Under the Stairs is about the city.[17]
