In a heartwarming and historic moment, King Jammy made a special appearance on ONSTAGE TV in Jamaica to honour none other than the Queen of Reggae, Marcia Griffiths, as she celebrates a monumental 60 years in the music industry. The reggae pioneer presented Marcia with a personal gift, recognizing her unmatched contributions to Jamaican music, culture, and the global reggae movement.
Marcia Griffiths, known for her angelic voice, timeless hits, and career with Bob Marley & The Wailers, as well as her work as part of the I-Threes and solo icon, is one of the most respected voices in reggae. Her influence spans generations, and her music continues to inspire artists and fans around the world.
King Jammy, a legend in his own right and a longtime admirer of Griffiths’ legacy, joined host Winford Williams on the iconic show ONSTAGE to deliver his message of appreciation and admiration.
“Marcia Griffiths is a true queen, she has represented reggae with dignity, grace, and power for six decades,” Jammy shared.
The symbolic gift presented by King Jammy was more than just a token it was a celebration of unity, mutual respect, and the deep cultural foundation that connects Jamaican music’s greatest pioneers.
This powerful exchange on national TV not only honoured Marcia’s longevity and impact but also highlighted the continued relevance of Jamaica’s musical legends, many of whom like King Jammy are actively working to preserve and amplify the culture through platforms like the King Jammy Legacy Project.
This appearance is part of the ongoing King Jammy Legacy Project, an initiative to document, celebrate, and reignite the legacy of one of reggae and dancehall’s founding fathers. From appearances to sound system preservation and youth education, the project is committed to ensuring stories like this remain alive and accessible for future generations
