Toots Hibbert's voice is so glorious. Thank you for the gifts you've left us, Toots. Rest in Power.
Straight love and happiness. Dear lord please turn back the hands of time.
Both my parents are from Kingston and this brings back memories of the stories they told me as a child. Beautiful times and tunes...Blessed!
I love Ska! I wish it were more popular so that I could go and see Ska bands where I live.

R.I.P Toots luv that voice!
Ska needs a much needed revival. 2020- one of the few things keeping me going.
ska born in 1963 and will never die,there will always be a ska band
I was introduced to Ska by Trevor Harriot when I was 16 years old and he was a year older. We were British Steel apprentices together in 1966 in a Rolling Mill in Brierley Hill now part of the West Midlands. He had been sponsored by British Steel to come alone and work in England for 5 years to become a qualified engineer. I lost track of him some time about 1970. If you read this Trevor remember some good times as Mods on our scooters.
I am Stephen Day and am a young hearted 71 year old.
Ska is a good exuberant sound for dancing...one of the world's better music.
beautiful ..i will still be looking at and listen to these lovely sonds till i die love them so much always miss the old days in london east-end E1 ....
blessss
Prince Buster was a great producer of our Island music
hes the reason ska got air time,he is king of ska
What is it about Jamaica? A tiny island with so much musical talents. Very special place
Because we owned the island before the Spanish and English got there 1000s and 1000s of yrs before. Don't believe all of our Africa fake story. Jamaica is ours
We are just awesome! Sunshine, fresh fish and rum aplenty!!
African slaves rebelled and ran up to the hills to live and kept their African rootsmusic beat rhythm and food and all that is rasta Jamaican comes mainly from West Africa Ghana Nigeria
Thanks for posting this. So many greats in this one video!
I love Ska music. Greetings from Ghana, Africa
Enjoy Roaming around Heaven all day Prince Buster
1964 way way before I was born so tell me why here in Whittier California 2023 this Jamaican is enjoying this 1964
Why ask why?
I bet none of those great reggae artists thought The Maytals was gonna be as good as they were, Toots Hibbert is a golden class act. Ive been bought up on reggae so this video sounded like love to me.
Toots be da man! He was the one who introduced me to ska back in the 60s, then let me discover rocksteady and then lead me into reggae. What a master!

THE JURE BENEFICIARIES !
Part 2 of the documentary This Is Ska (1964)
First up is Eric "Monty" Morris singing Sammy Dead-O. (On the original 7" single on Kentone in 1964 it was labeled Sammy Dead) Morris is a famous singer in Jamaica with over 100 singles, mostly in the ska and rock steady eras, but with a few reggae songs also. Among his most famous songs are Humpty Dumpty (1961) No. 1 (1964) Penny Reel (1964) Say What You're Saying (1968) and My Lonely Days (1968)
Next up is a man who needs no introduction for most of you. Jimmy Cliff is famous the world over, mostly for his leading role in the best Jamaican film ever, Perry Henzell's The Harder They Come. His performance in that film is legendary. Cliff excelled as a singer in the ska and reggae years, but seems to have only a handful of rock steady singles. Here he is singing One-Eyed Jacks, a 7" he cut for Beverley's label in 1963.
Another VERY famous figure follows Cliff---Prince Buster. Along with Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid, Prince Buster was the main figure producing records as the 1950's came to a close in Jamaica. He really hit his stride in the ska era, when he produced and sang on numerous hit records. No let up in the rock steady era, either. He enjoyed tremendous success there also. But in the reggae years, like Dodd and Reid, Prince Buster did not dominate, although he continued to produce some fine records for singers like John Holt, Alton Ellis and Dennis Brown. Here he is singing Wash Wash, a song he recorded in 1962.
And last in this segment is the group I posted a few days ago, Toots and the Maytals. Treat Me Bad was a 7" single in 1964.. No need to repeat my comments, the music speaks for itself.
Thanks for the info👍
Obrigado pela aula

Oh to be 18 again! Remember "taking the floor" with Keith Lyn while Byron and the band was socking it to us. ThThere was no obesity crisis then !
RIP Prince Buster
Gone but not forgotten.
Fantastic!! Historic dancehall!!
Well, listening to Prince Buster transported me way, way back in time. My first visit as a kid to 1970s Jamaica... Sunday morning church service. Wow.
Rest in peace Mr Campbell, Prince Of Peace, Mr. Ali, voice of the people! I cried you a river. Thank you for the love, the inspiration, thank you for lifting me up, when I 'm feeling down. Thank you and your wife for the most precious time I could spend with you. Your devoted friend
What a beautiful comment. His music will live on forever!
What? Prince Buster was Cecil Campbell, Ali Campbell of UB40 is still with us.
Hello @@racketman2u,
Cecil Bustamente Campbell (24 May 1938 - 8 September 2016), known professionally as Prince Buster, was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and producer. The records he released in the 1960s influenced and shaped the course of Jamaican contemporary music and created a legacy of work that would be drawn upon later by reggae and ska artists...

This is new to me. Love this. Prince Buster was really into it!! He is my fav in this clip.
Love all the artists featured in the video, but as far as I'm concerned Prince Buster was The Man and will always be The Man!
Good vibes

THE roots off MOD 🍀 from Dublin lreland 🍀🇮🇪🇻🇦🇲🇱🕴️🛵🕴️🇬🇳🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇳A WAY of life keep the faith MODS
Don Letts said that Jamaican ska was originally optimistic/joyful music in keeping with the mood of the immediate post-independence era. You can see that in the crowd in the video. But he also said that as time went on the mood became more serious and militant, because people became disillusioned that independence wasn't "delivering the goods". By 1965/66 ska was changing accordingly as it evolved into the "rude boy music" which led to the emergence of rocksteady and eventually reggae. This song from 1966 sums up the change in mood. ruclips.net/video/VB19qQ_ungg/видео.html
What a wonderful and fascinating contribution to youtube! This is worth watching, worth listening to and sharing with friends! It's "source material" for ska, contemporary with the time of it's heyday and it's artists.
Thank god for youtube and people like "jw31209"
THE BESTS JAMAICANS MUSIC TIMES
My favourite times only sorry I couldn't get to Jamaica in them days, a bit too young.I'm familiar with the music a d performers though.I had plenty of West Indian mates and used to love the 'BLUES' up the Highfields in Leicester. I think ' joyful ' is how I'd describe this music and joyful never ages.
This music makes me feel happy
Koo pon mi peeple, mi luv uhno!
Gracias jamaica y inglaterra por esta musica ke nunca muera saludos desde mexico
Great music and I would love to go to Jamaica one day .lobe there accident too
Great music!
If you can't appreciate Toots and the Maytals on some survival level at least you are pretty well screwed.
As always, Toots is a wonder! But he Maytals are so strong and never get any credit! Three cheers for the Maytals!
@@Onionbaron AND THE SKA😀😁😄😆😅🤣😭😂😈👽🤕TALIGHTS!!!!!!!!;+;±±/////⁰_ or is it SKATTALITTES ??? RAASFẞ
You got it! I am white, and I don't know how to compliment black people, for their music! dance, art, literature etc. Without Black Culture where would boring "wasps" be. And Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marly, Sun R and his archestra, etc. Yes, yes, yes, dance everybody, dance don't fight. And Ali Farke Toure. Namaste, Z
@@Onionbaron maytals best years was 1963 till 1965
Que n'aprenguin. SIMPLEMENT PERFECTE.
Those tight pants on females were called Pedal Pushers....a tight skirt was called a Hobble....a man in sun-glasses was admired as a Soft Boy.....the original words to Eric 'Monty' Morris' song was "..but a grudgeful Nayga grudgeful mek dem kill him..." etc.. Keith Lyn and those early performers can be seen with Byron Lee (guitar)..
The dance and words were co-ordinated to be exclusively "Jamaica's Ska", it was not by chance; and credit must go to social scientist Edward Seaga who (started researching from 1952) heard Ska in Western Kingston, and took Byron Lee and Carlos Malcolm to bring it to Jamaica's notice, and project it to the world (successfully). Seaga went on to install nearly 100 institutions vital for Jamaica's progress and real independence, and became Prime Minister in 1980-89, when he revived the economy (I was there).
We now have a premium product which grows by itself, but needs someone intrinsically brilliant to harness/marshal its potential to benefit THOUSANDS of Jamaican performers who put in great effort, but need a good day job to survive.
......Let's hurry up, because foreigners are making more from Reggae!......
