Reggae gurus

Black Uhuru was a socially responsive outfit that proved to be a winner in more ways than one.

REGGAE’S relationship with the rest of the music world is a strange one. It seems like everybody knows Bob Marley and a few sanitised (read: “white”) hits in reggae fashion. This can mean anything from Eric Clapton (with a cover of Marley’s I Shot the Sheriff), 10cc (I must admit I think Dreadlock Holiday is awesome), The Police and Men at Work (It’s a Mistake) right down to Jason Mraz and his current hit I’m Yours. Yet so many big names in the scene seemed to have slipped off the radar of mainstream popular music (take a look in your local record store if you don’t believe me).
