Johnny Clarke, a revered Jamaican reggae singer, stands as a true icon within the genre. Born in 1955 in Kingston, Jamaica, Clarke emerged during the golden era of roots reggae in the 1970s. Known for his soulful voice and poetic lyrics, he quickly gained recognition for his conscious and socially aware songs. Johnny Clarke's contributions have left an enduring legacy, influencing subsequent generations of reggae artists and earning him a place among the genre's greats. With a vast discography that spans decades, his music remains a testament to the power of reggae as a medium for social commentary and cultural expression.

For our third blog, we had the wonderful opportunity to interview Errol Michael Henry, the Founder of Music-Justice.com. Before sharing his interesting background and the answers he had for our questions, we briefly shed light on the unfair treatment of artists in the Music Industry. It's big, it's bad, and it's real. Along with Errol Henry, TABOU1 is on a mission to bestow justice throughout the industry and give artists what they deserve.

This is a favorite of mine. We were working on an album at Anchor (Gussie Clarke's studio in Kingston) and Bunny Lee came to visit and hang out with us for a while, had Robbie and Sly sign some paperwork, tell some war stories from back way. I was like a kid in a toy store and soooo wish I had had the presence of mind to record, film, everything these gentlemen were doing

During the 1Q24, www.TABOU1.com will offer NFTs giving access to exclusive, previously unreleased tracks that I produced with Sly & Robbie for artists like Bunny Rugs, Johnny Clarke, Frankie Paul and many others.

We will soon detail why we feel Music NFTs can and will be a super alternative to streaming, both for the users, but also, as importantly, for artists

Stay tuned

Listen closely for the brilliant contributions of Charlie Organaire on harmonica, Robbie Lyn on vibraphone, and the captivating vocal vibes provided by Cherine Anderson. Together, they elevate the experience, harmonizing seamlessly with Sly Dunbar's masterful and fierce drum programming.

In Sly's own words "I grew up listening to the Skatalites, they were the ones that inspired me to become a musician, I would sneak out of the house just to see Lloyd Knibbs perform, he is a hero of mine. So to lick Addis Ababa in a Dancehall style was cool".

Every week, we'll showcase remarkable songs from the TABOU1 vaults as our Song of the Week. To kick things off, we're highlighting one of our favourite artists, Bunny Ruggs, with whom we had the privilege of collaborating on numerous projects. "I Know Who I Am" was featured on a TABOU1 compilation called "Roots With Quality," released 23 years ago, which showcases Bunny Ruggs' enduring impact on reggae music.

William Alexander Anthony "Bunny Rugs" Clarke, OD (February 6, 1948 – February 2, 2014), also known as Bunny Scott, served as the lead vocalist for the Jamaican reggae band Third World and had a successful solo career. Bunny Ruggs began his musical journey in the mid-1960s and, at one point, was a member of Inner Circle as well as one-half of the duo Bunny & Ricky.

Listen to the COMPLETE song in the comments below.
