Joe Higgs - 1 Minute Jamaican Music Biography
Published Oct 30, 2004
Joe Higgs is an important figure in the history of Jamaican
music...and not just because, as a mentor, he took the young
Wailers under his wing. Not only did he guide them, in terms
of learning to sing like professionals, he often sang with them
live and out of necessity on some of their early recordings.
One half of Ska's Higgs and Wilson vocal duo, Joe sang about
reality and helped pave the way for Roots Reggae. He filled in
for Bunny Wailer on one of the Wailers' major tours and he released
a series of excellent solo albums that showed his voice to be
100% exceptional.
