- (Patreon) Roy "Lion Soul" McKenzie (1947-2000) was born in Spanish Town, Saint Catherine Parish, Jamaica. He discovered his passion for music at an early age, singing in the church choir. He started his music career performing with street musicians and local ska bands.

In the mid-1960s, he moved to Kingston and became part of Trenchtown's vibrant music scene. Starting as the lead vocalist of The Soul Makers, he gradually developed his own unique sound. He became known as one of the innovative artists of his era, particularly for his style of blending African drum rhythms with reggae.

His debut album "Love Revolution" (1969) was released under Jamaica's Own Records. The album's lead single "Feel The Love" received extensive airplay on local radio stations. McKenzie was one of the pioneers who brought themes of social justice, equality, and love into his music before Bob Marley and other roots reggae artists.
