If Joe Higgs’s “There’s a Reward” doesn’t send shivers up your spine, you don’t have one.

Widely regarded as the father of reggae, Higgs grew up in Kingston’s famous Trenchtown ghetto and was a major influence on a generation of reggae musicians, including some guy named Bob Marley. He died of cancer in December 1999 at the age of 59, but I just couldn’t wait another eight months to post this as a “ten years ago today” memorial piece.

Enjoy.
