- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Don Carlos emerged as a superstar reggae star at the beginning of the 1980s as lead singer of the duo, Don Carlos & Gold. But after two decades at the very top of the reggae scene, Gold would disappear and leave Don to continue alone

I got a complaint about there being no sound. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Sound is fine, no problem.
@@Kryssthealien Thanks 👍
Great for me as always.... volume in Los Angeles 👍🏻
Great content ❤
I had sound all throughout. Listening in from the UK.
He is currently at a Nursing home in Maypen.
After the USA tragedy where he was at a store that was being robbed and he got shot and was injured, he was transferred by the hospital to Jamaica after being hospitalized for a while.
He was visited by Carlos once in Maypen but hasn’t been in touch in ages. He laments the fact that no one really cares.
Good to see this RUclips Chanel caring enough to write about him. Blessings!
Wow, that's wild. Me and my brothers have always been into reggae and Gold is up there for us. Way up there for us. His story is very sad, good to know he's still kicking. Does he still harmonize at all?

Unfortunately, He is unable to Sing or Play any form of Musical Instruments due to Paralysis.
@ShernetteMalcolm-Anderson So sorry to hear that. I hadn't heard of him by name until now. I just feel sad about the whole situation, how life deals some people. Moreover how everyone who's a so called friend forgets people in their times of need.
Apprecialove Brother King Gold and Reggae Appreciation Society. What goes on in darkness must come to light.Tragic. ❤💛🖤💚😘🎶🌎
@ShernetteMalcolm-Anderson I hope you see this message. I have just heard of an organisation called "Jamms" that helps artists claim for unpaid royalties. You may want to look into it and see if they can help Goldie. (Thanks to BigStone for the Jamms info) ❤❤❤
I met Gold at Sammy Dread's record shop on Nostrand Ave in Brooklyn, New York in 1985. He saw me looking at Harvest time album and he walked up to me and said, "buy it nuh" I was 16 yrs old. A very cool Bredda. Bless Up Gold!
GREAT VIBES.
" HOW GOOD & PLEASANT IT IS FOR I-DREN TO DWELL IN I-NITY."
NICE TO SEE DE INTEREST FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND, BRO, RASS D.
JAH LIVE.
JAH GIVE.
JAH GUIDE.
JAH BLESS.
Those albums are the soundtrack to my younger days
Gold has passed .. was in a care home, sadly dropped out due to ill health.. Rest In Zion..
Aww..sad to hear. ❤
WOW sad to the hear that i had a coworker who was around them so i would get lots of info about them rest well brother man ❤️💛💚
@raphelneil7882 Further down is a message from his daughter. She says he's still alive but in a nursing home, etc.
Edit: seems like the message has since been removed? Idk why.
Well, there is another one saying a similar thing,just the daughters one was a bit more in depth.
The faithful and weary servant will someday rest in the bossom of the Master. Rest in peace Gold
Not true! I am in touch with him!!
Never heard news or information about Goldie. Don Carlos always "straight to the top" as the icon he is. Thank you for this video, keep the good work. Until next time: Jah Bless!
Gold is my uncle and yes he still alive currently in a nursing home back home - he was such a great and genuine friend/ brother to Don Carlos it’s just sad that friend never ever looked or supported him, Royalty? my uncle never get a dime it’s so heartbreaking talking about this knowing how kind my uncle was to Don - both arms and legs were amputated and he cannot speak clearly but he is alive. I promise you if the wheels were turned my uncle would be by Don Carlos side in every way possible he would never turn his back on him the way Don Carlos did.
Give Thanks for the video,,, Blessed Love,, Rastafari,, 🇱🇨👊🏽🇯🇲👍🏽❤️
This music Reggae music is so full of tragedy
I saw Don Carlos in the late 90's in southern California, my friends reggae band backed him, great memory !!! It is pretty sad to hear Don Carlos just abandoned his close friend of 20+ year's like that !!! Not cool at all. I'm sure Don has made decent enough money touring, to live pretty comfortably, especially in a place like Jamaica, but even if not financially there, he could have been a friend to his fallen buddy !!! I always listened to Gold growing up, but never did know what happened to him, I traveled to Jamaica in yr 2000 and would have loved to visit him and helped out a little financially, had I known his situation !!! You should set up a fund to donate to these aging legends.
The sound is excellent here in Jamaica's overseas colony. 👍🏼😂
Your video & the information are also super interesting, as usual. Thank you for sharing.
Lol! Jamaica's overseas colony. That must either be Germany or the UK 😅
Thanks so much for the support mi lioness ❤️💛💚
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety
It's the north of Germany, close to the Netherlands, mi lion 🦁😉
@@SabiArtStory777 Ah I guessed right 😃 Netherlands is another Jamaican colony
@@SabiArtStory777 Have you ever heard of the Reggae band The Solution?
@@johnwhitworth1328
If they are from the area of Münster, Ahaus, Hengelo etc., the border region between North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands, then yes. From life clubs or medium-sized festivals, roots reggae? I haven't been up to date since the many lockdowns here, haven't seen dem anymore. Do they still exist?
Thanks another good one. Do a follow up.
Great duo 👏 i just finished listening to their album raving tonight
Another good video!...although sad to learn of Gold's hardship in life. Thank you Don for all the music over the years. Rest peacefully Gold.

Thanks so very much for that info! I am a very big fan of Don Carlos and Gold!
R.A.S. is a source of REAL history, been there done there!!!...OH Happy Day🌹🤩🌿
Thanks a lot 🙏
'Then never know natty dread have him credentials' is another one of the CD's that I fished out of the used bin at the college record store. I had never heard of DonCarlos and assumed 'Gold" was the name of the band, but they looked pretty rasta so I took a chance that it wouldn't be dancehall. Still one of my favourites to this day.
That would have been an awesome surprise, I imagine. I chased that album😊
I saw him in the early 2000's without Gold. Wish I had witnessed them together

Thanks brother for the information Jay bless
I saw them both performed together at a Eastern Parkway night club, location in Brooklyn, New York (somewhere off Nostrand Avenue vicinity) in the very early 1980s!
Sad for such tragedy to have occurred for anyone!
Hope the survivor, Don Carlos, is still doing well and is in good health and living a satisfactory life with loved ones amongst him.
Brigadier Jerry had performed on that same stage too around that time!
I am not sure if I had seen them both on the same night or a separate night, however, they had both performed on the same stage where I first saw each of them in person.
The spot was large and was packed every Weekend.
The club you're referring to is called Club Callaloo.
@@Spyderdon1
Yes Prince, that's the name!!
Thanks a lot for the keen reminder!!
Appreci-loved!!
Listen to Black Harmony by Don Carlos awesome tune the late great Jah Shacka used to play it in the Coop in Catford
Saw Don Carlos & Gold in ‘83 in Brixton, absolutely wonderful together, great harmonies.
Jah blessings and guidance
This is really hard to hear once again. A Reggae musician union that helps artists in need of support is long, long overdue.
Much love to RAS for highlighting Gold's situation, of which a positive is to soon happen for Gold we ask. ❤️💛💚🖤
I have said that too. They need to establish some kind of union. I agree completely.
An endowment would be a great start
Gold 💛
Thank you for shading light on one of the forgotten star of the 1980's who was a part and parcel of the great Don Carlos. It is a bit unsettling that a gentleman of the caliber of McCarlos would just shy away from one of his friends from his youthful past who contributed meaningfully to his career to be the big star that he is today. I hope this is a case of lack of accurate information available.

@@caroldavy9861 This is really heartbreaking. I grew up on a steady diet of the music from Don Carlos since my formative days as a youth till now and have always had a profound respect for the man and his art but this revelation has now clouded my perception of the man I have up to now regarded as one of my greatest reggae icon.
Sad!
Gold should have some good royalty for his music
As I heard he is in a hospital or carehouse at the moment, very lonely and sad, depending on others to support him.
Oh dear 😰 This is painful
Bless ❤ @@MsWildberry1
@heerollie7797 Sad to hear about Gold. Blessings to you ❤️
Love this video don and gold was a good combination by the way any chance you can do a vid of winston scotland he was a great dj in the early 70s
Winston Scotland aka Dr Alimantado
Yes I great suggestion!
I remember back in my skool dazs in Brooklyn listening to Black Uhuru then Don Carlos & Gold......I remember the incident in DC.....Gold should be entitled to Royalties

💯🖤👊🏿😒
I hope Don Carlos helped him and cared for his friends as much as he could, even up until today. Someone says Gold has since passed...not sure if its true?
Gold still alive
@@Mador127 good to hear.

@caroldavy9861 very sad and disappointing. Royalties have always been a problem for artists that's the harsh reality.
As for friendships..well I know Loyalty among anyone is hard to find too. As a friend maybe you can't always assist financially BUT surely you can be there and visit,call etc...that costs nothing.
I just don't understand how people forget others so easily?!.
No sound
Will check it out. Thanks
I now write songs because of Goldie's inspiration @Fixxtunes!
