Max Romeo (born Maxwell Livingston Smith on November 22, 1944) was a seminal Jamaican singer and songwriter who defined the sound of roots reggae. He began his career in the mid-1960s with the vocal group The Emotions. In 1968, he achieved international notoriety with the suggestive hit "Wet Dream." Despite being banned by the BBC, it reached the UK Top 10 and cemented his image as the "Original Rude Boy". By the early 1970s, he shifted his focus toward Rastafarianism and social justice. His track "Let the Power Fall on I" was adopted as the 1972 campaign anthem for Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley. In 1976, he released the masterpiece album "War Ina Babylon," produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry. It is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential roots reggae albums of all time.
