The Guiness Who's Who Of Reggae:
A former member of Bob Marley and the Wailers, he had a style similar to that of American soul singers of the Curtis Mayfield school. On occasions, he sang lead vocals on songs like Dancing Shoes, He Who Feels It Knows It and Sunday Morning. In 1967, he spent time in prison on charges of marijuana possession. Hallelujah Time and Pass It On from the album Burnin' exposed the Wailers to the international scene. Recent albums have made little impact upon the reggae scene.
