Johnny Clarke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnny Clarke (born January 12, 1955) is a Jamaican reggae musician.
He grew up in the Kingston ghetto of Whitfield Town. At age seventeen he recorded his first song, "God Made the Sea & Sun" for producer Clancy Eccles. He also recorded for Rupie Edwards, Bunny Lee. A Rastafarian, many of Clarke's songs concerns his faith and the beliefs of the Rastafari movement, such as anti-violence (as heard on "Let Go Violence") and legalization of marijuana ("Legalize It"). He helped define the "Flyers" period that preceded the "Roots Rockers" sound of the mid to late 1970s.
