Why are people fighting about who is better, Marley or Miller? They were BOTH great. Jacob's voice was as good as anyone's in the reggae genre and Marley was as spiritual a man as any human being graced with the ability to sing and play an instrument. His music will live forever. God bless them both!
Some years back I happened to get on the same flight from Orlando to Dallas with Toots and the Maytals and as luck would have it, keyboardist Charles Farquharson (along with Touter Harvey an original Inner Circle member) sat in the seat next to me and we talked about reggae history the whole way. The reason I bring up the story is because I asked Charles who were the roots musicians who made the biggest impression on him? He named a few people and told why but at the top of his list, in a class of his own, it was Jacob Miller. Charles' eyes welled up with tears when he spoke of Jacob and his big heart. I'm glad to see this performance because I can feel what C was referring to. Jacob overflowed with joy and irie spirit.
"In March 1980, Jacob Miller went with Bob Marley and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell to Brazil, to celebrate Island opening new offices in South America. Not long after returning to Jamaica Sunday, 23 March 1980, Miller and one of his sons died in a car accident on Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica. Miller and Inner Circle had been preparing for an American tour with Bob Marley and the Wailers, and the next album, Mixed Up Moods, had been recorded before his death." RIP, Jacob. Your legacy will shine in eternity.
In fact it were his 2 daughters that survived the crash. He passed tragically after that accident. And was very shocking. Bob wept when he heared the news, because 2 days earlier he was with him, Junior Marvin, Chris Blackwell and his girlfriend in St. Maarten for a stop after the trip in Brazil. Jacob had suffered from a jetlag 😭
My favourite reggae song. I bought the single when it first came out and must have driven my poor parents to distraction by playing it over and over again. Now, fifty odd years later I still love it.
Got to appreciate the lead guitar player. He is left-hand playing a right handed guitar... just like Jimi Hendrix.... one of my favorite songs here, keep on rockin

I loved Jacob Miller the killer all my children and nephews I play Jacob fir them until this day they grown and got kids and grandkids they pass on the music of Miller & Bob❤❤
Il's étaient bons, ici, dans cette vieille terre de France, pour faire des images, de ces talents aujourd'hui disparus. Cela à donné, sans nul doute l'amour des européens à cette musique des caraïbes... Basse lancinante, rythmique sèche et chaude à la fois, batterie qui tape à contre temps, et le ONE LOVE du message porté par le reggae... Jacob Miller était un messager lui aussi, sans aucun doute, mais le bon Jah l'a rappelé très tôt. Quelle agréable écoute !...
I've listened to this song 3 this in a row this morning maybe one more gain, yes I think so. Jacob Miller, you changed the world bra, thank you for being you;) Awesome! Inner Circle thanks for never slowin down, much respect.
Ya'll are the #1 rockers an this will never die. We miss you Killer Miller..... Much luv an respect to Ian Lewis & Roger Lewis, thank you for still keepin the music movin forward.
RESPECT...PRICELESS !!!!! Thnx for uploading.......we lost a reggae-hero to early, but his fantastic vybz bless our souls forever......RIP.....Jah bless. 24 dislikers were blinded by hell-fire, could´t find the like-button !!!

Jacob Miller, a great YOUNG talent, WHAT A PERFORMANCE, LEFT so Many people happy B4,he made HIS TRANSITION, at 23,YEARS YOUNG.....RIP ENOUGH SAID ALREADY.....5,*****
One of Bob Marley’s personal friend and brethren!! They were very close, it is my belief that Jacob Miller was either heading to or leaving Bob Marley’s place when he had the car accident that took his life! He died on the very street that Bob Marley lived on ! God Bless them Both! Tuff Gong and “Killer”!
must agree, this was the first of many reggae bands I have seen live including Bob Marley twice, even to this day I have been to hundreds of gigs and nothing compares to Jacob live
i was onley nine years old but i was rocking what a amazing man chance my life completley forever reggea most listnen music in the world bless you jacob
Jacob Killa Miller, a large man with so much energy, charisma, great voicing style who always looked like he was enjoying himself on stage and how long was this song - Real Rasta talent. Bob Marley was a big fan of his, sadly died after a car accident in Jamaica, no ambulance arrived, so two policemen picked him up, placed him in their car, went for some drinks in a local bar with Jacob lying seriously injured in the back and then raced him to hospital but too late. Bob died within a year of Jacob. Sad start for Jamaicans in the early 1980's.
Jacob Miller morreu em 1980, pouco depois de ter visitado o Brasil ao lado de Bob Marley. Ele tentava dirigir e fumar baseado, ao mesmo tempo, quando o carro que dirigia bateu num poste e o vocalista quebrou o pescoço e caiu na pedra.
