Johnny Clarke took Jamaica and the reggae scene worldwide by storm when it needed it the most; presenting a fresh, youthful and energetic style and a crisp voice. In the 70’s, Johnny Clarke together with producer Bunny Lee a musical pioneer in Jamaica set the foundation for future generations to come with versioning, recutting and/or transforming old themes into something new and current. He pioneered this thirty years back but the works still stand as an everlasting monument.
