  • Joe Higgs (* 3. Juni 1940 in Trenchtown; † 18. Dezember 1999 in Los Angeles) war ein jamaikanischer Reggaemusiker. Er gilt als einer der Mitbegründer des Reggae, auch, da er großen Einfluss als Lehrer auf die späteren Reggaekünstler Bob Marley, Peter Tosh und Jimmy Cliff hatte. Selbst tourte Higgs 1973 mit Marley, Tosh und den Wailers in den USA als Hintergrundsänger, als Bunny Livingston nicht in Amerika touren wollte. Nach dem Tod Marleys und Toshs coverte Higgs auch Songs seiner Schüler. In seinen eigenen Liedern behandelt er vornehmlich das Leben in der Armut in Trenchtown (Kingston), wo Higgs aufgewachsen war.
