Dans les années 1960, il faisait partie du duo Higgs and Wilson accompagné de Delroy Wilson. br br Higgs a connu Bob Marley au début des années 1960. Marley dit lui même plus tard que Higgs a été quelqu'un qui l'influença beaucoup. Higgs était considéré par Jimmy Cliff comme le « père du reggae », même si cette opinion est contraire à ce que pensent de nombreux spécialistes du reggae classique. Pendant un temps, Higgs fit des tournées tant avec Jimmy Cliff qu'avec les Wailers alors que Bunny Wailer refusait de les suivre au milieu des années 1970.
