Junior Murvin - Classics from the Falsetto

Junior Murvin was born Murvin Smith on July 22, 1946, in Port Antonio, Jamaica, and raised in Kingston, where he began singing in the 1960s as part of local harmony groups. His early recordings leaned toward rocksteady and soul-influenced reggae, but it wasn’t until the mid-1970s that his voice, a high, falsetto style sometimes compared to Curtis Mayfield, became fully recognized. Murvin’s sound stood out in an era dominated by heavy roots vocals, giving his music an emotional, haunting quality that would later define his most important work.
