Burning Spear

Winston Rodney OD (born 1 March 1945), better known by the stage name Burning Spear, is a Jamaican roots reggae singer and musician. Burning Spear is a Rastafarian and one of the most influential and long-standing roots artists to emerge from the 1970s.

Early life

Winston Rodney was born in Saint Ann's Bay, Saint Ann, Jamaica. As a young man he listened to the R&B, soul and jazz music transmitted by the US radio stations whose broadcasts reached Jamaica. Curtis Mayfield is cited by Rodney as a major US musical influence along with James Brown. Rodney was deeply influenced as a young man by the views of the political activist Marcus Garvey, especially with regard to the exploration of the themes of Pan-Africanism and self-determination. In 1969, Bob Marley, who was also from Saint Ann, advised Rodney to approach Coxsone Dodd's Studio One label after Rodney sought his advice during a casual conversation.

    Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,
    Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,
    Can't get no food to eat,
    Can't get no money to spend, Wo-oo-oo
    Can't get no food to eat,
    Can't get no money to spend, Woo-oo-oo
    Come, little one and let me do what I can do for you
    And you and you alone
    Come, little one, wo-oo-oo
    Let me do what I can do for you and you alone, woo-oo-
    He who knows the right thing
    And do it not
    Shall be spanked with many stripes,
    Weeping and wailing and moaning,
    You've got yourself to blame, I tell you.
    Do right do right do right do right do right,
    Tell you to do right, Woo-oo-oo
    Beg you to do right, Woo -oo- oo
    Where is Bagawire, he's nowhere to be found
    He can't be found
    First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey
    Son of St. Ann, First prophesy,
    Catch them, Garvey old
    Catch them Garvey, catch them Woo-oo-oo
    Hold them Marcus, hold them Woo-oo-oo
