Minott and the High Voltage Reggae Band has a similarity to Bob Marley and the Wailers Reggae band with lyrical words of compassion for common people. Don Minott’s inspiration came from Marcus Garvey, who was a pioneer of pride building and community uplifting back in the 1900s, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who also was a student of Marcus Mosiah Garvey and Mahatma (Mahandas) Gandhi. These great men and Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy all shared the same non-violent attributes, men who sacrificed their own lives for the sake of justice and human enrichment.
