Joseph Benjamin "Joe" Higgs (3 June 1940 – 18 December 1999) was a reggae musician from Jamaica. In the late 1950s and 1960s he was part of the duo Higgs and Wilson together with Roy Wilson. He was a popular artist in Jamaica for four decades and is also known for his work tutoring younger musicians including Bob Marley and the Wailers and Jimmy Cliff.
Higgs was instrumental in the foundation of modern Jamaican music, first recording in 1958 for producer and businessman (and later Jamaican Prime Minister) Edward Seaga, both as a solo artist and with Roy Wilson. He is often called the "Godfather of Reggae". His first release (with Wilson) was "Oh Manny Oh" in 1958, which was one of the first records to be pressed in Jamaica and went on to sell 50,000 copies. Higgs and Wilson also recorded for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The partnership with Wilson dissolved in 1964 when Wilson emigrated to the United States. Higgs then concentrated on a solo career and also worked with Carlos Malcolm and the Afro-Jamaican Rhythms, before joining Lynn Taitt's The Soul Brothers as lead vocalist.

► Subscribe to Professor’s official Youtube channel : http://bit.ly/ProfessorSub ► Professor’s digital albums available here : http://bit.ly/ProfessorMusic Here legendary Jamaican drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace shares his thoughts about Joe Higgs, a teacher to many of the Kingston "musical youth" back in the days of Bob Marley. He talks about the track "There's A Reward" and the old-school, late 1950's duo "Higgs and Wilson."
There is an often told story about an incident where Joe Higgs was reportedly struck in the face by Coxsone Dodd when Higgs was insisting on being paid royalties. This was discussed with Ken Boothe during an August 2007 radio interview. Ken Boothe offered to tell the story after the show... that interview is featured here. In an Joe Higgs interview by by Chuck Foster, published by Small Axe in 2003 (http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/smallaxe/joe%20higgs.htm), Joe relates his version: "During Joe's time at Studio One, he says, 'Scratch was an errand boy for Coxsone. But like I say he's a student of both men. He's a student of Duke Reid but there's something else that you might be surprised about. "You hear about the time that Coxsone hit down Joe Higgs with a gun? You never hear of that? OK....

Everyday my heart is sore
Seeing that I'm so poor
But I shall not give up so easy oooh
Cause there's a reward for me
There's a reward for me...
Though I'm bordered down with shame
There's no one for me to blame
But I shall not give up so easy
Cause there's a reward for me, oooh yeah
There's a reward for me.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
You know no one cares for me
I've never known sympathy
Sometimes I look to the world with a smile
Man you hear what I say...
Everyday my heart is sore
Seeing that I'm so poor
But I shall not give up so easy
Oh no no no no non no
Cause there's a reward for me...
Cause there's a reward for me.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
You know no one cares for me
I've never known sympathy
Sometimes I look to the world with a smile
Man you hear what I say...
Everyday my heart is sore
Seeing that I'm so poor
But I shall not give up so easy
Oh no no no no non no
Cause there's a reward for me
