- Leroy Sibbles is one of Jamaica's greatest contributors to reggae culture. Sibbles is mostly known as a member of the rockesteady group The Heptones.
Most are unaware of Sibbles role as a bass player, musical arranger, song writer , and talent scout while working at Studio One.
Sibbles says, "I was never a bass man. I was a man who played some great bass lines. A bass man is a man who play bass only. I is a man who just grab the bass and play lots of hit song."
Sibbles is responsible for the bass lines on some of reggae's greatest songs: The Cables "Baby Why", Cornell Campbell "Queen of the Minstrel", John Holt's "Love I Can Feel", Inner Circle "Make You Sweat", Burning Spears "Ceeation Rebel" and "Door Peep", Dennie Brown's "No Man Is An Island", and The Abyssians "Satta Massa Gana" "Declaration Of Rights"
Sibbles basslines have also been used on mega-hits for artist like Jazmine Sullivan, Beres Hammond, Inner Circle, Tony Rebel, Sizzla, Tony Tuff, Capleton, Luciano, Mighty Diamonds, Yellowman, Musical Youth, and many more...

i have been for years touting the exploits of this man , every chance i get , so i am glad to see the exposure he is finally getting , he is one of the main people who pioneered the change from ROCKSTEADY to REGGAE , this video gives a small sample of his genius , for instance it leaves out the iconic LARRY MARSHAL'S 'MEAN GIRL' riddim .
Never mind his amazing solo stuff -what a voice also !
The rhythm master, himself.
Every church bass man . Play the last one all the time , this was special who catch this . All praises to the Most high
The joy in his face when he plays that bass. Wonderful to see the great man still enjoying his music!
So glad I got a chance to work with this Legend. Such a nice guy.
I don’t know where this footage came from but - big up to Leroy!
Singers and players of instruments shall dwell in the mansion of the most high
When CZcams recommends a random video. and you just feel blessed to be a Jamaican.
All these years I knew you as a very singer never knew you that you’re even a greater Musician. Blessings

Big up, this man is master and musical genius. We will never see the likes of this again.
I’d rather write and play hit bass lines than be the greatest bassist in the world.
I gave you your flowers years ago. Rocksteady, Peace!!!
This man deserves a statue in every country. Respect to Leroy Sibbles, thank you sir.
This man can sing very well. Didn’t know he was on the production side.

Big up The Legend! Himself! Mr. Leroy Sibbles. His Bass them sweet like flabba holt and the great loyd Parks. Basses. Jah guide
Bless mi singer 👊🏿
Oh what a joy this video upload was... love Leroy Sibbles/Heptones.... this is exactly why you can never beat the era of physically buying music (instead of digital/streaming we have today). When buying an album it was never just about the main group/singer, but all the credits listed on the back sleeve of everyone involved in the making/production. We knew all the players of instruments/arrangers/backing vocalists etc and all equally revered in their own way. Today's music buyers know just the front face and rarely nothing else behind the music. Top upload @ I never knew TV
Love reggae music the Bass isn't hidden in the the background it stands out especially in dub reggae break's the rules I wish this OG could give a 🎸 guitar lesson on how he plays but this is super dope I'll have to slow it down and watch ⌚
Yoww give this man his flowers. Legend 👏👏👏👏
I love everything reggae…this clip was so nostalgic ❤️
Wow, what a man gifted! When he was talking about Satta Amassagana, I was thinking that the bassline isn't really the thing that stands out for me, more the horns. And then he tells us that he arranged them too! And I remember hearing Chronixx in a OnStage interview years ago saying that Sibbles was a big mentor of his. So the man is continuing to define Reggae to this day. Legend.
Real Legend. I was just giddy when he was just reeling off this incredible list of music he touched and made. Someone said that his musical DNA is all over Reggae. It's so true.
This is strange because yesterday I held a bass for the first time in my long life and I was trying to recall my favorite reggae music lines..and today here is this video.
I had sattamassagana play in my head for many days in a row back in the 80s🌠
Thanks for this!
Bless Leroy Sibbles and all the other gifted Jamaican artists. The people are the treasure.
Wow mr Leroy. still goin strong gods blessing thanks for those 🎵 my favorite is everyone has an equal rights to live and be free. Big up mr Leroy.😅😅🎇💝💝💝🎊😘
OMG The Heptones!!!!! My brother loved you guys so much.In the 70ties he worked as a teen and bought your LP.We played it on Sunday evenings after the rice and pease and brown stew chicken yellow yam lettuce and tomatoes and carrot juice.Your music was popular I our home Sunday nights.The 70ties has such good memories
Take baseline out of reggae and dancehall and you get the trash these yutes now call music. Big respect to you brother for your contributions to the jamaican culture and world
You couldn't have said it better I'm proud of you..
Real talk
Sit up on his throne and he rules us all!
Not me ...because I wrote a better Bassline than him
Blessings always Sir. Leroy Sibbles. Jah God guidance 🙏
Great! Bagga Walker next…underrated but fire. Boris Gardener as well.
Now that is reggae music!!! Respect Mr. Sibbles.
Leroy Sibbles one of the truly greatest Artist I got hip to his Bass lines in early 70s before I only knew him as a Heptones
All Praises to JAH
My fave part of Reggae is how deep the bass tones get. So many greats play great notes with thumb work. In my teens I started listening to a bit more of it. Now in my 40's and want to listen to tons. So I will.
I'm very happy that Leroy Sibbles survives and has opened up about his Bass work with Studio one and others. Leroy Sibbles as lead Vocalist of the Heptones is one of the great Jamaican vocalist. He also should get his due as a songwriter.
The Heptones (with Sibbles) were one of the best Jamaican vocal groups of the Rock Steady/Reggae period, and should be right up there with the Wailers as the best of Jamaican music. Also of note is Leroy Sibbles background vocals work with other artists including Bruce Cockburn.
Listen Heptone's rich harmony in
Bob Andy's..i'm going home..
I feel like I owe this man many thanks for the music he brought to my head.
Thank you sir.
Chilling vibes I must say, thanks for sharing.
Seen him at the airport in Mia couple years ago we were heading to Kingston and I tell you, Leroy look young as ever and was all smiles and full of joy, legend this man is.
He need his flowers 💐 while he’s still here and thank you so much Mr. Sibbles
Yes Aya, LEGEND!!!!!!!!! Blessing and love Leroy🇪🇹!!!!!!!

💚💛❤🖤👑🌹☀️🌻❤🖤💚🥰🥰🥰🥰
Sistar NeroDiamante Singer/Songwriter Musician.
Wow - he really doesn't get the credit he deserves as a bass player for real. I didn't even know he was. I only knew him as singer for the Heptones. Those are some really iconic riddims he was instrumental in creating
Like what Smokey Robinson was to Berry Gordy (Motown). A writer and arranger of many those classics. Leroy was the same to Coxsone Dodd.
Oringinal bass line big up mr bassie an mr drumming drum an bass mr horns trumpet sax trombone mr percussion an mr melody an mr harmony big up the players of instruments
Thanks and praises! Greetings from Sweden!
Real People wonderful thank you x
Very nice this music game gets very deep when you hear some artist stories. I did know Leroy did most of the great bass line in reggae. It is sad that he did not get no credit. This is because he love the music more than money. God knows . Leroy sibbles a great reggae legend 🙏🏾
This Man is a Legend in his own right and also the group Heptones paved the way in classics and originality in Reggae music, and this man is responsible for most of the classic bass lines you hear today, remixes after remixes, Sir Leroy Sibbles, and Barry and Earl are True Legends....

Both Leroy Sibbles and Boris Gardner were outstanding bass players.
big up to you STEVE , i have been reading the comments looking for someone who knows a little more than most , BORIS GARDNER was the bassist on the heptones greatest album (HEPTONES ON TOP) which had such iconic pieces as HEPTONES GONNA FIGHT . PARTY TIME , and PRETTY LOOKS . it was after this album LEROY took charge .
Heptones on Top, classic. Also love Ting a Ling!
