Hill, Joseph

Hill, Joseph
▪ 2007

      Jamaican singer-songwriter (b. Jan. 22, 1949, Linstead, Jam.—d. Aug. 19, 2006, Berlin, Ger.), was the founder and lead singer for about three decades of Culture, a seminal reggae group that created a stir with the 1976 record “Two Sevens Clash,” which predicted that an apocalyptic event would occur on July 7, 1977. The message was so powerful that many Jamaican businesses and schools closed on that day. Some of the band's other songs included “Natty Never Get Weary” and “I'm Not Ashamed.” Hill died suddenly while on tour with Culture.
