  • British Reggae Group, Musical Youth emerged on the scene in 1982 with the biggest song of the year and quickly became global superstars. Within three years they were penniless and the group has disbanded.
    Their story is the ultimate example of mismanagement of young artistes in the entertainment business and a reminder of the need for greater care to be taken of performers who are yet to attain adulthood.

    Loved them in USA in the 80s. Such a fun energetic sound. But their demise is truly a sad story of greed and exploitation of innocent and talented yout. Thanks for the vid

    Divine justice on all who exploited them...this is heartbreaking. I cannot articulate how LOVED "Pass The Dutchie" was/is across Africa for anyone alive to hear music in the 80s. "Unconditional Love" w/ the late, great Donna Summer was their other song deep in my heart. 💃🏿❤💛💚🖤

    I remember this group and that classic Pass the Dutchie song as a very young little girl. TV One Unsung did an episode on this group a few years ago. Sad ending to a talented buch of young boys.

    The group was also very popular in Nigeria, especially with the Pass the dutchie video. The different style album, also received massive airtime on the radio. Tracks like 007, watcha talking about, Air Taxi & No strings were well played.
