Culture's Joseph Hill ~ Iron Sharpenth Iron

Culture were formed in 1976 by Joseph Hill who was a a percussionist with the Soul Defenders and also recorded his first version of `Behold The Land'.

He later recruited Albert Ralph Walker and Roy Kenneth Dayes to perform as a vocal trio. They initially performed as the African Disciples but changed their name to Culture, and auditioned with Joe Gibbs. The producer was impressed resulting in a series of successful singles, including `Jah Jah See Dem A Come', `Zion Gate', and `Two Sevens Clash' which led to their album debut named after the hit. This was followed by `Baldhead Bridge' although by the time it was released the group were recording for Sonia Pottinger.

The success of Two Sevens led Virgin Records to sign the group, via Mrs Pottinger, which resulted in the release of `Harder Than The Rest,' `Cumbolo' and the `International Herb.' In around the early 80s the three singers went their seperate ways and Joseph being the sound of Culture continued to record and tour with Reginald Taylor and Telford Nelson filling in. Sadly Joseph Hill died while touring Germany although after a suitable period of mourning his son Kenyatta replaced filled his father's role to critical acclaim.

Our featured song appeared on `Harder Than The Rest' but was also recorded with Joe Gibbs who included the song on the compilation `More Culture'.
