Can someone please tell me how he died? I'd love to ask God why so many good people die young. So many greedy and corrupt producers live to a ripe old age !!
Respect to Henry 'Junjo' Lawes for giving lots of Artistes the opportunity and exposure. However in my opinion Hopeton Overton Brown aka Scientist played a major role in Junjo's success with the kind of engineering he did on the recordings, which very few mention during these interviews. It's a proven fact that the sound of the recordings can make or break an Artiste, It even contributed to some Artiste success that was lacking certain things, in a positive way. The reason why most of these songs are still popular today is because of the mixing/engineering. Many of Junjo's recording got sales because of Scientist mixing and his name being on the Albums /records. During that time when I bought records, and I'm speaking for a few other that I know for sure, if Scientist name is on the record, we would buy it without questioning it because we knew the mixing on there would be different from the rest. Lots of credit needs to go to Hopeton Overton Brown aka Scientist and Roots Radics Band. 🙏❤🙏💛🙏💚🙏
@@PaulBrown-fp6ug fi real and you hardly hear them talk about the ways they exploited him as a young Youth in the music business. Scientist was Waaay ahead of the game considering he was the youngest of them all and still is ahead of the game. Bunny Lee (R.I.P.) said it best. "Scientist is the KING 👑 of DUB." Lucky for him he left Jamaica. Who the Creator protect, no one curse. 🙏❤🙏💛🙏💚🙏
The great absent in this nice doc, the master Scientist, I guess he didnt want to get involved in this since he should had rights dilemmas from all of his dubs with the labels and stuff
Here June 18 2022 . Yellow Man is the King of Reggae/ Dance Hall full Stop no Debate… I remember growing up in Kingston 13 area ..35 Lane Papa Toyan lived across from my house…Volcano sound system Played a lot on the Waltham …R I P Henry Junjo Lawes , Leave on Imprint on Reggae/DanceHall ..Appreciate this documentary on one of Reggae/Dancehall legendary producers..
@@AS-wj1du toyan was shot in his back yard, is yard was next door to some other community who was at war with toyan community and junjo was killed in England. I'm from that same community and still live there
Brilliant documentary, jungo run the 80,s decade, back in the days in England a documentary I cannot recall now about the black on black violence in England, the presenter showed a photo of a man lying dead on the street named Mr jungo lawes, and not 1 black person knew in the Audience knew who he was, one of the baddest record producers to ever come out the Jamaica, thanks for the upload, RIP the mighty Mr laws.
Yes I think even Jamaicans might not know. There are lots of artists we recognise but he doesn't seem to be one of them. I only know of him in relation to artists who died violently. It is sad how some of them end up. Possibly due to not being paid well, they end up in criminal activity
@@AS-wj1duSeveral of his artists died violent deaths including 2 of my favorites back in those days Luie Lepke and Lee Van Cleef. I actually met Luie Lepke young daughter in a record store in Bronx many years ago. RIP RIP RIP
The connection between the genius of Junjo, one of the best band of all times, The Radics and the mighty Scientist, was / is unique and unrepeatable !!!! And of course the amazing talents discovered by him !!!!
Respect VP for this history class learning is my strong point, plus reggae music played a big part in my up bringing . Hence why I, I love learning about my reggae music ! I I'm Jamaican!
This is a wonderful Documentary.Growing up in Payne land in the 70’s/80’s this bring back some serious memories. I will not forget going to 82 Chisholm ave & skate land, a dance supporting the big mighty Volcano High Power. Can’t forget yellow man, yellow BMW…
I enjoyed this it brings back good memories the Volcano Live at Aces that yellow man mention ,I bought that album , it got missing in my move to the US.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Is one ting mi cyan seh, Junjo along with Roots Radics Band produces some of the wickedest riddim tracks. One of my all time favorites was Yellow Man & Fathead - "How You Keep A Dance". Just check out the dub side, is dat yuh call raw drum & bass. 'An a suh mi like it - RAW!! 🥁🎸🎶
The most important takeaway from this is, the high praises being bestowed on the man. Not too often we hear so many persons speak highly about a fellow Jamaican.
Jamaica. What a place !!. The last words Marcus Garvey said before leaving " Jamaica is a ridiculous place". Extremity in every way. Good and bad. Wow !!
Nice to hear the history, artical! A lot of producers now don’t know wha dem want and they let the labels dicate and now we see it watered down. Bless fi this
Jah know it’s a pleasure remembering as a youth right behind Jamintel right near lovers park a Montego Bay a Rock inna the dance What unforgettable memories a cool an deadly with the bubbling gal
Berris( Saddle) didn’t forget you my first Love. Big up to everybody from McKoy Lane, if you know you know. Junjo was one of the most generous and kind human being I ever known. RIP mi General💔🙏🏿
Real talk little John am a ninties artist I don't remember who brought me to him I was working for bunny Gemini those days junjo no itch him run di paper good producer and him put out you tune he's not a reducer he will always be remembered
WHEN DANCEHAĹL WAS DANCEHALL REAL SOLID CULTURAL REGAL NOT TO MENTION DECENT AND MAJESTIC VIBES, KNOW ITS BEEN AMBUSH AND DILUTED LOST IT FLAVOUR GOOD FOR NOTHING🤮👀😭😭😭 DANCEHALL NEED A REBIIRTH. 💯✔🔊🇯🇲/🇬🇧
It’s a shame you didn’t put the names to whoever and artistes who was speaking about this influential man if only for the younger generation to know who their parents use to listen too
I hear most the artist/ musicians frm these eras was real Real badman’ same time the way they conduct themselves was real professionals’ respect to the originators
It's a pity, he was murdered. Why didn't the one' involved could not solve the issues without killing him? As for Sir Errol Carter, or Flabba Holt, he is the most kindest man on this planet. That's why Junjo Lawes trusted him. Lloyd King Jammy James is another trusted and kind special brother. I know these two music lovers are very honest indeed.
This documentary is woefully lacking in professionalism!!! Why don’t they display the names of all the interviewees across the screen?…..how will people know who is being interviewed??!!! Not everyone knows the artists!!!
@@lion8608 Thank you very much. Junjo's works which were mostly released Internationally on Greensleeves must be worth millions. That man ruled dancehall and had his signature on every #1 hit from say 1981 to 1985.....at least. I know VP has purchased Greensleeves. But Junjo's family need to dig into this.
Thanks for sharing and its great to hear his workers speaking of him in such high standards
I just love papa toyan delivery and how him ride the riddims he was one of the greatest dj ever from Jamaica
Can someone please tell me how he died? I'd love to ask God why so many good people die young. So many greedy and corrupt producers live to a ripe old age !!
@@donovanembden8737 he got shot atleast thats what little john said
Jim brown was tuff to
The 80s danceall is definitely my favorite,I was in my teens and just love the danceall some great music/memories.

Remember the era just like it was yesterday, wonderful musical expressions and arrangements. Priceless.
Yes and in most cases the musicians and engineers who put in the works don't get the credits, recognitions, and royalties. SAD 😥
