      Count Matchuki and King Stiitt were Toasters....their talks weren’t melodic. U Roy had melody and flow. So yes he didn’t initiate it but his style is what others emulated; evolving to what the genre is presently.

    Listening to UROY himself talking 👄 I don't haveto read no books, or Listening to someone else. Because he was born in the 1940s and I was born in the 1950s and, I have known him in person since 1968.There is a lot of younger generation in Jamaica 🇯🇲 does not know, the intricacies about the history of the Jamaican music industry. Where some people is claiming to be the originator of certain things, which is not true at all. The man 👨 who really started the development of the Jamaican music, was a man named Vere John talented music show. He helps to developed the American music industry born UROY, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, John Holt, Millie Small, Dobby Dobson, Ken Parker, Alton Ellis, just to named named a few of them. He left Jamaica in 1924 to New York city, where he started his music talented music searching for talents. He returned to Jamaica in 1939 and started to searching for talents, where he found the Wailers, John Holt, Millie Small, Dobby Dobson, Alton Ellis, Hortense Ellis, Desmond Decker, just to named a few of them. I remembered as a boy 👦 growing up, I useto listened to his talent contests show on RJR radio 📻 station on a Sunday. He died in 1966,so most Jamaicans does not know all those things at all. I remembered Listening to Machukie, and King 🤴 Stitch before UROY got popular. When he released those songs, and the song that made him very popular ahead of King Stitch was. Wear you to ball in the 1960s, it was very popular. But King Stitch 🤴 was the first DJ to be crowned as King 🤴 of the dancehall, but King 🤴 Stitch was good back in his days. The ugly one as they useto called him, back in the days. If you want to see King Stitch 🤴 you would see and Bunny Grant, at the corner of East Street corner and east Queen 👸 Street and a group of guys 👦 there talking 👄 to them. Anyway UROY helped to lift the reggae music to a higher height, there is no joke about it. Because most of the DJS back then after him,useto copy him. Like IRoy,Dennis Alcapone, they sound like UROY 👍, but Big Youth was quiet different in his own style, Ranking Trevor, UBrown,Ranking Joe, Wilton Irie, General Echo, in the early 1970s. But UROY is the best to hold a mikephone, he is very smooth like a lizard 🦎 on a limb.Very good timing, you can hear everything he said. I take in a few of dance 💃 when he useto played for King Tubbys 🤴 in the 1960s and early 1970s, I never useto followed his sound at all. But I take in a few of his dance when Ranking Joe was the leading DJ there, Ranking Joe was really good sound like Daddy UROY at 1st ,then he changed a few of his styles. I would like to hear something from Ranking Joe, and if he is going to his Godfather funeral. Daddy UROY.
