Jacob Miller, a Jamaican reggae artist, is the focus of this episode of Unsung. Born in 1952, Miller began his musical career in the late 1960s, recording his first tracks under the guidance of Clement St. Cockstone Dodd. He gained recognition for his socially consciouslyrics and audacious stage presence, earning the nickname “Killer.” Miller’s collaboration with Inner Circle marked a significant milestone in his career, and he also pursued a successful solo career. Tragically, Miller’s life was cut short in a car accident in 1980, leaving behind a lasting impact on the reggae music scene.
