"AS BLACK UHURU'S lead vocalist and primary songwriter, Michael personified the revolutionary spirit of reggae. He was the key figure during Black Uhuru's creative peak in the late 1970s, and his lyrically hardcore African redemptionism, coupled with his unusual vocal approach, garnered critical plaudits as well as commercial success...His work with Uhuru helped bring the group a Grammy, while his distinctive vocals launched an entire musical style. For all his studio triumphs, Michael Rose should be witnessed live--his concerts provide a positively redemptive experience... defying categorization his voice is a skillful, special creature that swoops like a bird, revealing all kinds of emotional turmoil as it flits across speakers. His voice is one of hope and happiness; his tone one of anguish, his voice is a weapon, and a rare gift and used to its full potential."
