I was a skinhead rudeboy and all i ever listened to was reggae and ska. I was proud to be a white skinhead embracing Jamaican rudeboy music and culture but, then along came the NF and tried to spoil it all giving the skinhead a bad racist name. Me and my best mate Tommy who was black had to get ourselves out of some very sticky situations cos we never ran from the racist scumbags and Tommy being a good street fighter and built like a brick shithouse used to knock fuck out of five of them at a time while i was rolling about on the floor trying to bite some fuckers nose off. Tommy saved me so many times and it wasn't even me they wanted to kill but, i stuck by him. We both loved Ska music with a passion and later in the 80s we went everywhere watching bands like The Specials, Madness, The beat, Selector, The Bodysnatchers. Tommy passed away in 1992 and it was t6he worst day of my life when i was told. A message to the NF, you never spoilt it for us cos we loved everyday being proper skinheads and rudeboys, not fake arse idiots like you always looked. Thank you Jamaica for giving me your music and culture and giving me my best friend and brother Tommy. You made our tough, miserable upbringing and surroundings a lively happy place. RIP Tommy Skinheads and rudeboys forever.

Most Jamaicans don't 'puff' i.e. smoke weed. A love of reggae and weed smoking are two different things. I know several Rastas who do not smoke at all. Their argument is that 'weed' was never ever mentioned in the Bible. However thinking about it, perhaps 2000 years of history would have been better if weed was indeed promoted in the Bible.

The dance would start about 2am! I would dance like NO one was watching! Go home about 7 in the morning, pretend to just be getting up for the day, and head straight back over to the dance! I did this every time Gemi played on my road! I never felt scared or threatened being the only white boy in the dance!? Maybe because I was a kid? But from the age of 10 I was going to the blues on the high street with my parents! Wicked times!

Toasting has been used in various African traditions, such as griots chanting over a drum beat, as well as in the United States and Jamaican music forms, such as ska, reggae, dancehall, and dub; it also exists in grime and hip hop coming out of the United Kingdom, which typically has a lot of Caribbean influence. Toasting is also often used in soca and bouyon music. The African American oral tradition of toasting, a mix of talking and chanting, influenced the development of MCing in US hip hop music. The combination of singing and toasting is known as singjaying. In the late 1950s deejay toasting was developed by Count Matchuki.[2] He conceived the idea from listening to disc jockeys on American radio stations. He would do African American jive over the music while selecting and playing R&B music. Deejays like Count Machuki working for producers would play the latest hits on traveling sound systems at parties and add their toasts or vocals to the music. These toasts consisted of comedy, boastful commentaries, half-sung rhymes, rhythmic chants, squeals, screams and rhymed storytelling. Osbourne Ruddock (a.k.a. King Tubby) was a Jamaican sound recording engineer who created vocal-less rhythm backing tracks that were used by DJs doing toasting by creating one-off vinyl discs (also known as dub plates) of songs without the vocals and adding echo and sound effects.[3] Late 1960s toasting deejays included U-Roy[4] and Dennis Alcapone, the latter known for mixing gangster talk with humor in his toasting. In the early 1970s, toasting deejays included I-Roy (his nickname is in homage to U-Roy) and Dillinger, the latter known for his humorous toasting style. In the early 1970s Big Youth became very popular and had three very successful albums, Screaming Target, Dreadlocks Dread and Natty Cultural Dread. In the late 1970s, Trinity became a popular toasting deejay. The 1980s saw the first deejay toasting duo, Michigan & Smiley, and the development of toasting outside of Jamaica. In England, Pato Banton explored his Caribbean roots, humorous and political toasting[5] while Ranking Roger of the Second Wave or Two-Tone ska revival band The Beat from the 1980s did Jamaican toasting over music that blended ska, pop, and some punk influences. The rhythmic rhyming of vocals of African American toasting influenced the development of toasting in Jamaica and development of the dancehall style[5] (e.g. hip-hop pioneer and Jamaican expatriate DJ Kool Herc and Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest).

RagEyes NJ lol clearly u know nothing about music it always has to be a competition with u American blacks. Maybe funky house and rap has American influences. But the rest is Jamaican influenced. A lot of stuff u guys get from us Jamaicans

TJ Williams clearly huh?....you seriously don't know the origins of the said genres were American?!....lmao....and I don't know music? Come on man do some simple research. Not making it a competition, just bringing to light what people don't seem to know or like to deny for some reason. Such as yourself guy. Lol you really just said "maybe funky house and rap" were from America. smh....I never denied Jamaican influence in some aspects of certain musical styles and genres we created....but they weren't made in Jamaica. Blues is Jamaican?...Rock?....Soul? Funk? No.The list goes on....for you to deny these are Black American creations shows your ignorance. Why? Idk. Do better my g. How can you be allowed to say Blacks put UK on the map musically, but I can't say where The UK predominantly gets all its popular music from? And there are countless things you can look up to show you the heavy African American influence on Jamaican music. Do a little research and don't talk out your ass. I wasn't downplaying Jamaican influence. You seem to not know enough about music in general to downplay Black American influence though. Clearly.

No, sorry but you're exaggerating US credit. Most of the genres he mentioned are directly or indirectly Anglo-Caribbean in origin, and only slightly influenced by black American music. As usual, you Americans over-inflate your importance. If you want to play the 'who was doing it first' card then how about acknowledging the fact that all black American genres have strong partial roots in European Christian hymns and folk music. Or did you think gospel and spirituals were created in a vacuum? All genres have their origins in earlier genres, but it seems you Americans like to believe you were the root of it all.

I was a skinhead rudeboy and all i ever listened to was reggae and ska. I was proud to be a white skinhead embracing Jamaican rudeboy music and culture but, then along came the NF and tried to spoil it all giving the skinhead a bad racist name. Me and my best mate Tommy who was black had to get ourselves out of some very sticky situations cos we never ran from the racist scumbags and Tommy being a good street fighter and built like a brick shithouse used to knock fuck out of five of them at a time while i was rolling about on the floor trying to bite some fuckers nose off. Tommy saved me so many times and it wasn't even me they wanted to kill but, i stuck by him. We both loved Ska music with a passion and later in the 80s we went everywhere watching bands like The Specials, Madness, The beat, Selector, The Bodysnatchers. Tommy passed away in 1992 and it was t6he worst day of my life when i was told. A message to the NF, you never spoilt it for us cos we loved everyday being proper skinheads and rudeboys, not fake arse idiots like you always looked. Thank you Jamaica for giving me your music and culture and giving me my best friend and brother Tommy. You made our tough, miserable upbringing and surroundings a lively happy place. RIP Tommy Skinheads and rudeboys forever.
great post brother
Awesome

I'm sure your mate Tommy was a great person. May he rest in peace and I feel sorry for your loss. Always remember the Spirit of 69.

It’s amazing how we had absolutely no material possessions back in the 70’s and 80’s and had so much fun while listening to the best music era in the world! Music now has nothing on all thee oldies!
So true, I had zilch but felt happier then!

When reggae came to Britain it made music happy 😃 no complicated feelings just joy it’s for people who feel and can sing to the soundsx
See music was made for your ears Not our eyes. Peace and love to all
I love ska and reggae music. I grew up in San Diego and a girl classmate of mine in eighth grade asked if I liked ska circa 1983. Had no idea what it was. This was around the time Dance Craze came out. So thanks Jamaica and the UK for some good music. Funny I live in Hawaii now(25 yrs)and reggae is huge here

Truely the best music ever. Trojan 1962.
This documentary conjour up a lot of memories for me growing up in England.with reggae and punk and ska.a wonderful time to be alive around that time.
Great documentary. Grew up in Brixton to Irish parents. Was always treated with love and respect by my Jamaican neighbour's, and vice versa. Loved West Indian food too! Addicted to bass. Love reggae, Ska and lovers rock, UB40. Remember buying Bob Marley's 'No woman no cry' in Brixton market..what a tune. Moved away after riots in 81,but never forget the impact reggae had on my psyche. Peace out.
Big up Kevin

@Harry Clams, Things have changed now, you can buy the lips, colour. Lol
One of the most accurate assessments of the British Reggae scene. JUST as I remember it, the chronology, the different scenes & how they all linked up . I had goosebumps through most of it & I'm sure I had something in my eye by the closing credits. Thank you to whoever put this all together. An absolute treat
Beautiful something timeless about reggae ? Never tire of it. Fantastic to see Desmond Decker.
Bring back 1970 .. I'm 64 going on 16
Have you heard of jamaican jubilee stompers?

It's around the same time that Reggae arrived here in Maranhão, a state of Brazil. Roots Reggae is still very powerful and played in every corner of my city, São Luís, also known as the Brazilian Jamaica. 🇯🇲🇧🇷
This doc. is so poignant for me. The ska and early reggae, which is really rock steady, hits are the sounds of my childhood in Kingston. Some of the interviewees were clearly born in Jamaica, and like me, emigrated as children with their parents. The clips of Kingston in the 1960s and early 1970s also brought back memories. I was sad to leave my home, but the images and sounds in this doc. are of a Jamaica that no longer exists.

That’s amazing to have someone you don’t know get you through really rough times. I have so many memories where his music and voice was the background to life events and glad I saw him live 4 years ago! The day he died I listened to “Reborn” and when his voice echoes on the fade out I really choked up.
1.54 Perfect. Perfect editing !!!!!!!!!!! You do NOT get much better than that. No way !!
likkle but wi tallawah! Viva Reggae!!
i was a white kid in Leicester and grew up listening to all these sounds, great music, i think Chris Blackwell of island records was partly responsible for bringing them to the UK. one of my favourites was the Pioneers, Long shot kick de bucket. about a horse race. i remember Wet Dream getting banned but my brother got a copy. Prince Buster was another one. i think the Artists should be properley rewarded for their hits. i remember blasting out Young Gifted and Black out the bedroom window, even though i was a local white kid. This should be shown to people today to show how Education and History was geared towards White people.
i was 14 in 76 when punk was the medicin for the youth ,no matter where their lived,punkmusic (johny lydon)introduced me to reggae&ska,it,s stil my fav music,dub,dancehall,roots,ska it doesn,t stop!great music!!and i became also a Villafan,so i visited the Midlands more than once!!!
A few contradictions here; like the assertion that reggae and ska never got air time, and yet "My Boy Lillipop" was a big hit very early on.

David Rodigan turned me on to dub plate in 1980... Never looked back.... Still puffin....
Most Jamaicans don't 'puff' i.e. smoke weed. A love of reggae and weed smoking are two different things. I know several Rastas who do not smoke at all. Their argument is that 'weed' was never ever mentioned in the Bible. However thinking about it, perhaps 2000 years of history would have been better if weed was indeed promoted in the Bible.
Got to be honest my own personal experience of that time was that most puffed... Definitely a musical enhancement. Each to their own. Note: The human body contains canaboid receptor cells... Scientists reckon this part of human evolution happened many many thousands of years ago... Our ancient ancestors used it.
Yeah, David Rodigan .. forgot about him ... msut have some cassettes of his programmes somewhere.

I'm white and when I was twelve and thirteen years old, I used to climb out of my bedroom window in the middle of the night and go across the road to a unoccupied house, where Gemi magic sound would be setting up about one in the morning. The dance would start about 2am! I would dance like NO one was watching! Go home about 7 in the morning, pretend to just be getting up for the day, and head straight back over to the dance! I did this every time Gemi played on my road! I never felt scared or threatened being the only white boy in the dance!? Maybe because I was a kid? But from the age of 10 I was going to the blues on the high street with my parents! Wicked times!

Watched this documentary in England many moons ago, nice seeing it again,oh what memories.
Great music... don't need more words !
I was 10 years old little white girl when I am The Magnificent came out.[double barrell] It made me feel magnificent. That was memorable. First reggae tune. I never felt any racism as a young teen. round Brixton in 70s It was puzzling one black girl and one half-black /jewish in class. She wouldn't be my friend because protective of her quiet black friend and obviously she'd had her terrible moments. Invited half the class to her home as reassurance but none of us batted an eye-lid. We all simply liked Marcia.

Loving this documentary! Thanks so much for uploading it, Sonique
Its really amazing, none of these documentaries never, ever care about docunenting the regular jamaican man or woman on their growing up with reggae and dancehall or how the music was surpressed by the intelligentsia of jamaican society. Reggae was once called rag songs, was never played on sundays.
because it´s focused on how people in the uk grew up with it specifically
I love reggae culture.
Yes love it remember in my young days❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant love this takes me back still very here !
Best days ever .

Never underestimate the impact reggae had on following genres of music. Those that know their toasting will already know it was the precursor to Rap....
The father of hip hop was a Jamaican American DJ
Figures....
@@andyaim4764 DJ Kool Herc, changed music forever.
Toasting has been used in various African traditions, such as griots chanting over a drum beat, as well as in the United States and Jamaican music forms, such as ska, reggae, dancehall, and dub; it also exists in grime and hip hop coming out of the United Kingdom, which typically has a lot of Caribbean influence. Toasting is also often used in soca and bouyon music. The African American oral tradition of toasting, a mix of talking and chanting, influenced the development of MCing in US hip hop music. The combination of singing and toasting is known as singjaying. In the late 1950s deejay toasting was developed by Count Matchuki.[2] He conceived the idea from listening to disc jockeys on American radio stations. He would do African American jive over the music while selecting and playing R&B music. Deejays like Count Machuki working for producers would play the latest hits on traveling sound systems at parties and add their toasts or vocals to the music. These toasts consisted of comedy, boastful commentaries, half-sung rhymes, rhythmic chants, squeals, screams and rhymed storytelling. Osbourne Ruddock (a.k.a. King Tubby) was a Jamaican sound recording engineer who created vocal-less rhythm backing tracks that were used by DJs doing toasting by creating one-off vinyl discs (also known as dub plates) of songs without the vocals and adding echo and sound effects.[3] Late 1960s toasting deejays included U-Roy[4] and Dennis Alcapone, the latter known for mixing gangster talk with humor in his toasting. In the early 1970s, toasting deejays included I-Roy (his nickname is in homage to U-Roy) and Dillinger, the latter known for his humorous toasting style. In the early 1970s Big Youth became very popular and had three very successful albums, Screaming Target, Dreadlocks Dread and Natty Cultural Dread. In the late 1970s, Trinity became a popular toasting deejay. The 1980s saw the first deejay toasting duo, Michigan & Smiley, and the development of toasting outside of Jamaica. In England, Pato Banton explored his Caribbean roots, humorous and political toasting[5] while Ranking Roger of the Second Wave or Two-Tone ska revival band The Beat from the 1980s did Jamaican toasting over music that blended ska, pop, and some punk influences. The rhythmic rhyming of vocals of African American toasting influenced the development of toasting in Jamaica and development of the dancehall style[5] (e.g. hip-hop pioneer and Jamaican expatriate DJ Kool Herc and Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest).

Young gifted and black became a hit amongst young blacks in the 60s because of the Black Power movement Nina Simone also recorded this not too sure if Nina Simone recorded in first or was it Bob and Marcia but it hit both sides of the pond

This is a real eye opener. Marley was doing the same thing other Jamaicans before him had done. He had more personal appeal to the record industry's public because of his mixed heritage I believe. Not forgetting of course that he was extremely talented and good-looking. A real good pop-musician package.

Love the Ska and Reggae scene from the 70's and 80's, the youth of the UK really adopted the genre and welcomed the influences from Jamaica. The music made me rice an peas go down well with a boogle boogle style !
Brings back memories good old days love it
I have always listened and loved Jamaican music. My parents were from Clarendon, Jamaica. If my Dad was not dropping Jamaican Mento, it would be Blue Beat, Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae. He never really got into the Roots Reggae Scene that I love, but he gave me a solid musical foundation for life if I may say, my social life - which entirely revolves around Reggae music.
this is why i love BBC documentaries !! just beautiful thanks for the upload !!
