Joe Higgs - There is a reward for me 

My outlook on "Poverty" in today's 'modern civilization' has changed after I bonded with this beautiful track. Poverty in these times is perhaps what keeps humanity and humility alive in a human being who is otherwise just mindlessly self-centered. Love and Respect for the Rastafari and their ageless simple philosophy of life that still guides us. JAH BLESS ALL PEACE

Thank you so much. One of my favorite songs. I'm listening to it live.😊

god what an amazing performance. Thanks Joe!! Rest in Bliss!! mi luv unu

One of the most unsung and understated music legends

If I ever make it to heaven I would be looking forward to seeing Joe Higgs. Heaven is the ultimate reward, and *good* music is your ticket there.

This is possibly the most heartfelt song ive ever heard. reggae music is the people music. jah love. sometimes i look at this world with a smile :D one love, bless.

this man joe higgs could cut the hardest man to the bone man....got alot of love for our brother.........

He taught the Wailers how to sing harmony and his debut album Life of Contradiction is unique in all of reggae. A masterpiece!

Grandfather of reggae... Joe Higgs....we love you brudda.

I live and sing in Argentina. One day this documentary, and this Song, and this PERSON entered my life. What a re-ve-lation! God Bless Joe Higgs!

A beacon of light.....so we can all be for oneanother

Joe was a massive influence for Bob Marley as you can hear the Redemption Song feel and style.

This is absolutely beautiful!!! Such soul and feeling behind that voice its hard to get a grip on!

absolutely beautiful!!!

This performance and song, along with a few things of Edith Piaf and Luca Prodan such as 'Red Lights', 'Brighton Past' or 'Time,Fate Love' have really moved me as an audio-visual spectator

From Stephane Marley to Joe Waw that’s a wonderful song

if you live through life like you want with the guidance of  the Lord Jah from above... you will be given the reward that you we're born to recieve.. just like how Joe Higgs had recieved his.... Jah Bless to you all.. peace.

SHAKE A LEG FOR FREEDOM, BROTHER!A true Great, what a huge loss. Rest In Paradise, Joe.Never to be forgotten. Thankyou for the great music.Love, Justice, Freedom. X PEACE

Rip Joe

The Original Teacher of Reggae.

Thanks a million for posting. I feel like I can here Bob Marley's voice. It reminds me a lot of "Redemption Song" and Wyclef Jean's "If I Was President," as well as Hannes Coetzee's "Teaspoon Slide Guitar" video, also here on RU-vid.

I wish they had tuners back then

niceness,R.I.P Joe

a prophet is never honored in their own country !

always seems an optimistic guy, an original, not given enough credit.

so much grazy for joe higgs

peace from germany :)

Do you know, Joe Higgs taught Marley and effectively created the Wailers.
