About Jacob,

Jacob Miller was born in Mandeville, central Jamaica on May 4, 1952 to Joan Ashman and Desmond Elliot. At the age of eight he moved to Kingston, Jamaica where he grew up with his maternal grandparents. In Kingston, Miller began spending time at popular studios including Clement Dodds Studio One. He recorded three songs for Dodd, including Love is a Message in 1968, which the Swaby brothers, (Horace, later called Augustus Pablo, and Garth) played at their Rockers Sound System. While the song did not garner much success nor maintain Dodds attention in Miller, it resulted in Pablos sustained interest in Miller.

After the brothers launched their own label in 1972, Pablo recorded a version of Love is a Message named Keep on Knocking in 1974. In the next year and a half Miller recorded five more songs for Pablo, Baby I Love You So, False Rasta, Who Say Jah No Dread, Each One Teach One, and Girl Named Pat, each of which became a Rockers classic with King Tubby dubs on their b-sides. These singles developed Millers reputation and ultimately drew Inner Circle to hire him as a replacement lead singer.
