Me too lol.
Same thing, first time I see Dennis Alcapone in live
LOVE REGGAE, ANY SORT OF REGGAE....As long as it is REGGAE....THANK YOU JAMAICA for giving the world Reggae❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, 100% agree thankyou Jamaica for bringing rude boy ,ska,to this country.
pure gold! Dennis shoes are funny hehe, 70's fashion! ...and two mics setup is so wicked! I re-listen this piece every week, brings good mood always!
Real talks. Its my medicine too
I would have broke my ankles in those shoes
Fantastic quality.
I was thinking the same thing
And still going strong Dennis Alcapone. Love old school. ✌️ ❤️
this performance has blown me away! What a driving bass.....
While it might sound simple, it was still one of the greatest moments for music and to create vibrations like that is a form of art. Leaves you with shivers down your spine. Listening to the tune Cassius Clay since decades - will never stop to do so. Love, only love.
I was just thinking the same thing. Most non-Jamaican bands had trouble falling into a reggae groove, but in a more typical song it's easy for a close listener to find the fours and see how the skank fits in. "Cassius Clay" is broken down to a much simpler level, so the finding and the counting get a bit more challenging. This band is smack on the money.
When they made the word Cool it was after watching Dennis Alcapone.. Truly Great stands up like a real DON.... Godfather ..
Seen him in Leeds last night awesome still got it in 2022 aug ❤️
Dennis used to give me a lift to Upton Park to see the Hammers play.
Nice to see My Granddad in his Prime.
Ron Smith happy birthday to your granddad
Ron: He, I presume, Dennis, is great.

Cassius Clay is coming back for his title , move away George Foreman. Great prediction by Dennis considering everyone thought Foreman was gonna kill Ali.
Ali Bomaye!

Perfect Dennis. ✌ ❤
Have you ever seen anyone as naturally cool and sure of himself, or as smart. You can see exactly where the late Ranking Roger got his style from. It is absolutely mesmerising to watch
Reggae is popular around the world!

Looks like the Kings Theater Tollcross, i know as i live next to it, nice")
I think this was filmed at the Empire on South Bridge, which was demolished a few years later
It was part of the 'Edinburgh Pop Festival' that I promoted at the Empire Theatre ( now the Festival Theatre ) over the 3 weeks of the Edinburgh Festival.1973 That night was sponsored and curated by Trojan Records and my friend Michael Appleton filmed it 'live' for the BBC 'Late Night Lineup' M8chael was the producer of the OGWT.
Correct me if am wrong, but is he referring to the "the thriller in Manila "
The Rumble in the jungle. Ali/ foreman fight 1974.
Uh, is this incontrovertible proof that rap started in Jamaica well before early American hits like Rappers Delight? I'd say so.
A lot of rap pioneers like Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Bambatta had Caribbean backgrounds but rap goes further back. Black Americans were rapping in the 50s and 60s.
Muy bien!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊
excelente
I want to see forever version live
3:45 Bigging up the Stephanie Boshit posse in the UAE 🇦🇪 One ❤
Is that the Cimarons backing Dennis up? Saw those guys several times in the 70's.
On commence bien l'année...
