I was 15 in 1964 , out clubbing dancing to ska ( and other music) but loved ska danced all night, great times great music great clubs we looked good and had the best of times , now 75 still want to dance to the great sound of ska 😎
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.
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.

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
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
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
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.
No no not that! So every miserable toxic reptile can go back to poison the past.You gota re-invent what positive vibes they had back then for the near present or not too far future.Otherwise all is lost in time.. Ya dig?
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
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... Source: Wikipedia
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"
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!......

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
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.
Hard to believe when this music hit America it was sung by Annette Funicello and Bob Hope!!! Just search Bob Hope Ska and you'll find the video on youtube!
awwwww nice save. my boyfrend has all these originals. in england radstock he was a dj. but he sent his music to me and they turned him around in canada. im in the usa with all his music dj equipment and missing my dj. any thing for idea?
promise you!!!!! we need help getting him n his music together. we r broke from fighting with imigration to get married. what a mess and a shame. he loves you somuch

Why ask why?

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.
R.I.P Toots luv that voice!
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
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 !
No autotune, no ignance. Just fun fun fun.❤❤❤❤
Everybody happy enjoying the music, it’s really lovely, thanks for sharing..❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚
How many hundreds of times have I watched this ...all good.
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 great Eric "Monty" Morris leading from the front. Killer footage.
wow, all of them are great,too many to mention
Prince Buster 'Take it easy' 'What a hard man Fe dead' 'Al Capone' keep rockin people.

So good to see a great range of people all dancing and enjoying themselves, fab stuff.
Prince Buster was a great producer of our Island music

Ska is a good exuberant sound for dancing...one of the world's better music.
