Biography
Junior Murvin, best known for his iconic track "Police and Thieves," possessed a distinctive falsetto that left a lasting impact on reggae music. Despite his limited output in the late '70s, "Police and Thieves" and its accompanying album secured Murvin's legendary status, overshadowing much of his subsequent work.
Born Murvin Junior Smith in Jamaica around 1949, Murvin's early influences included artists like Nat King Cole and Curtis Mayfield. He began his music career under the name Junior Soul, recording for various labels before gaining international acclaim with "Police and Thieves" in 1976. Although he collaborated with renowned producers like Lee "Scratch" Perry and Prince Jammy, Murvin never quite replicated the success of his signature hit, continuing to release music sporadically until his last album in 1989.
