Reggae musician Burning Spear (also known as Winston Rodney) was born on March 1st in Saint Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, in 1945. After befriending Bob Marley in the mid-1960s, Spear was directed to the famed Kingston record label, Studio One, where he launched his career in 1969 with the single, Door Peep. A pioneer in roots-reggae, Spear’s music has often reflected the aspirations and challenges that shaped the lives of his fellow Jamaicans. He’s won two Grammy awards for best reggae album, including 2009’s Jah Is Real.
