Marcus Garvey - Burning Spear

Hail H.I.M. - Burning Spear

is one of Burning Spear's many tributes to a civil rights leader from Jamaica. Marcus Garvey believed that black people should go back to Africa to rediscover their roots, and Burning Spear was a bit of a fan, to say the least. Not an album went past in his long and distinguished career on which he did not give you a little bit of Garvey propaganda. This song is very peaceful and mellow - following Marcus Garvey feels like the most natural thing to do when listening to this - how could someone be wrong when they sing so softly about it? I think the scientologists missed a great opportunity here - should have signed him up when they had a chance. Jah See And Know ...
