Jonathan (Johnny) Clegg, born June 7, 1953 in Rochdale near Manchester, (UK), is a popular musician from South Africa, who has recorded and performed with his bands Juluka and Savuka. Sometimes called "The White Zulu", he is an important figure in South African popular music history, with songs that mix Zulu and English lyrics, and African / European / Celtic music styles.
The albums Third World Child and Shadow Man occupied 1st and 2nd position respectively in France and became the most successful foreign band in France and Shadow Man topped the charts in Montreaux, Canada. At the height of the band's success in 1988, Michael Jackson had to cancel his show as he attracted fewer audience as compared to Johnny Clegg and Savuka. Their last album Heat, Dust And Dreams was nominated for a Grammy Award for best album in the category of World Music.
Recognition:
- Johnny Clegg was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres (Knight of Arts and Letters) by the French Government in 1991.
- In 2004 he was voted 23rd in the SABC3's Great South Africans.
- In 2007 Clegg received an honorary doctorate in music from the University of the Witwatersrand.
