 n\nTickets: www.tickettailor.com/events/easyskankinltd/1319737\n\nBar from

 ghetto of Whitfield Town. In 1971 he won a talent contest in Bull Bay\, hi
 s prize a meeting with producer Clancy Eccles\, with whom he recorded his 
 first song\, "God Made the Sea and the Sun"\, the following year.\nThe sin
 gle didn't sell well\, and disappointed with the lack of promotion from Ec
 cles\, he moved on to Rupie Edwards\, who produced Clarke's first hits in 
 1973\, with "Everyday Wondering" and "Julie". In 1974\, Clarke moved on ag
 ain\, recording "Jump Back Baby" for Glen Brown\, before beginning a long 
 association with Bunny Lee and his band The Aggrovators in 1974. "None Sha
 ll Escape the Judgement" was an immediate success and became the title tra
 ck on Clarke's debut album.\nClarke was named Artist of the Year in Jamaic
 a in both 1974 and 1975\, and became one of the most popular singers on th
 e island\, mixing original songs with covers of popular reggae songs by ot
 her artists\, and mixing roots and lovers-themed material. A Rastafarian\,
  many of Clarke's songs concern his faith and the beliefs of the Rastafari
  movement\, such as anti-violence (as heard on "Let Go Violence") and lega
 lization of marijuana ("Legalize It").\nHe helped define the "Flying Cymba
 ls" period that preceded the "Roots Rockers" sound of the mid to late 1970
 s. Clarke was one of the first Jamaican artists signed to Virgin Records' 
 Frontline subsidiary in 1976\, releasing the albums Authorized Version and
  Rockers Time Now on the label.\nClarke enjoyed further hits in the early 
 1980s with producer S Douglas\, before working again with Lee. His popular
 ity in Jamaica\, however\, declined\, and he relocated to London in 1983\,
  recording with Mad Professor\, as well as further recordings for Jamaican
  producers King Tubby\, Errol Thompson\, and Prince Jammy.\nHe has since o
 ccasionally reappeared with new material - Rasta Nuh Fear in 1992\, and Ro
 ck With Me in 1997 - and continues to tour regularly.
