Jacon seemed so lively. Knew Maxi was his cousin but not Heavy D. He and Bob were a force. Love the pictures of them in Brazil

[@cleanbowled1767]

Yeah they were supposed to go on tour together when they came back from Brazil in 1980. But sadly, Miller and his son died in a car accident. 🙏🏼 "I'm a dread, I'm a dread, I'm a Rastaman!"

One of my favorites Reggae singer, he passed away too young age may his soul rest in peace.

[@Maya-tv6kf]

Brilliant commentary!

[@AS-wj1du]

Sad that picking up a cane piece killed him 😢 You can say Heavy D is Jamaican American because he was born in Jamaica. Knew Maxi was Jacob's cousin but not Heavy. Jacob seemed so cool and fun and self assured. Love the pictures of he and Bob

[@AckeeEater.]

Much appreciated, boss. --Æ.

Rest In Peace, The Great Jacob 'killer' Miller ✝️🕯️

[@lanmarknetworking3034]

Idk anything about him but what I know from his music and he is one of my favorite island artists. My favs are Tenement, FJC, and E1T1.

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

The Inner Circle story is one of the most interesting ones in Reggae..I don't think there's ever been a band that has undergone so many lineup changes yet remaining consistently popular as this band, From Bunny Rugs and Prilly Hamilton to Funky Brown to Jacob Miller, Norman Grant, Ricky Hunt, Carlton Coffie,, Junior Jazzy, "Skatta"Bonnick....The Reggae Thing album (1976) will always be the prime reference for me of all albums released during the Jacob Miller era. The other 3 release was so heavily laden in commercial vibes.. There's one point of correction however: Singer Ricky Hunt was the lead vocalist on the Something So Good album (1982) , not Carlton Coffie who actually made his debut on the Black Roses album of 1986.

[@6clope7]

when i meet bob marley as a very young youth man , in England in the early 1970s. indeed he told me that jacob miller was one of his best friends, a few weeks later jacob miller died in a car crash

A chapter a day.....🙏

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Nice album

[@sarnathkerala8160]

Genius ire chrissmus

[@Fen534]

Inner circle had the hit song bad boys from fox tv show

[@newsvillefoster8289]

Just a heads up. The pic at 3:57 shows the members of Third World band, not Inner Circle.

[@djpredator579]

He was a good atisha

[@dennyyoung203]

How fast was Jacob Miller driving.....that car really crash very bad....and when he leave from the Popular cane man ....6mins ... looking at the map..looks like a freak accident...and he's 27....and the other day I was watching a video on the 27 club of all though young legendary artists that died...not going any further in their music journey....and it is very weird how many of them died very sinister...back to Jacob Miller....I will show u a clue....look at the license plate (🦊 FOX 66 but it looks like some of the numbers r hidden in the picture of is crash car ....Fox in it's numerology means 666which is for each letter and two more 66's is on the license plate that's alot of 6's.... it looks demonic to me....but how fast is car was going ....within the 6 min ratio..?......just look at the car.....and I love Rasta Christmas ☃️ too

[@voiceofreasoningelliott5849]

Some missing information bro

[@fredericocr1]

Also didn't know core and rugs were in inner circle

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Yes I

[@anclark2063]

When Jacob joined the band they were the Swinging Rotations.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Interesting

[@lornalarmond663]

Bless Jacob a brilliant artist, but he looked much older. Nevertheless he went to early, they said he loved his stomach 😂, I hope he is sleeping in peace ✌️🔥🇬🇧🇯🇲🖤💯

[@francoiscarlier2439]

Amy winehouse told me Jacob is smoking spliffs at the 27 club in heaven with Janis and Jimmy.

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

😄😄😄😄

[@relaxingraven6474]

He was bigger than Bob

[@sidvicious647]

The Brother LOOKS like Heavy D !

[@haroldlodik3786]

I see third world instead of inner circle

[@fredericocr1]

I didn't know pablo gad and augustus pablo were siblings

[@waynesmith733]

Seek ye first the kingdom of Yahushua and his righteousness,life on earth is temporary

[@seanmakhards1020]

They killed him the police after the accident took their time taking him to the hospital he is buried beside my father who dies on same day as Bob Marley

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Hmmmm 🤔 this raises questions. You're right. Horsemouth said in an interview that the cop took him from the accident scene to Bob's house first and wasted time

[@AS-wj1du]

They tried to kill Bob and they kill Jacob. Why do they kill their people? So wicked

[@guilcarr802]

He so was kill too in the accident which makes it more sad

[@dlmarh76]

Heavy D is Jamaican born, sir.

[@AS-wj1du]

Yes he is. Many US rappers are Jamaican born are of the heritage. Heavy D born in Jamaica, Biggie a Jamaican mother, Busta Rhymes has Jamaican parents

[@relaxingraven6474]

He was more popular than Bob Marley

[@AS-wj1du]

Apparently he was at the time and Bob wasn't that big. Bob's family work to get his legacy up

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Bob was on exile to Europe for 2 years after 1976..That left a void at the time (late 70s) which was filled by the likes of Dennis Brown, Jacob Miller, Burning Spear, Culture, Gregory Isaacs and the Mighty Diamonds ...

[@andgewilliams4323]

All this info but you miss the most important fact . They sing songs about King Selassie I. And than they all die young. Coincidence? I think not Give thanks.

[@sydperry]

A piece of cane...come on man..nuh guh suh

[@shottaboss8629]

Nah hoss,the man dead over a piece ah fuckin' sugar cane boii?Jacob Miller must be real cuss bumboclaat on his way to the other side knowing his sense of humor...love his music still "Each One Teach One".
