JACOB MILLER (1955 - 1980)
At the age of
thirteen, Miller recorded his first record for Coxsone Dodd in 1968. The song
initially attracted very little interest and it was not until 1974 that he
recorded again with Augustus Pablo, recording singles such as Each One Teach
One, Keep On Knocking, False Rasta, Who Say Jah No Dread
and Baby I Love You So. However, Miller’
His biggest hits would come as a member of Inner Circle. In 1976 they produced the hits Tenement Yard and Tired Fe Lick Weedin’ A Bush and during the 70s made a number of classic records including All Night Till Daylight and Forward Jah Jah Children. He took part in the notorious 1978 One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, where Bob Marley joined hands with Edward Seaga and Michael Manley, flanked by representatives of Kingston’s warring factions.
