This is what a multi cultural society is about a white guy singing a song a black man sang and a black man dancing his ass off enjoying the moment . This is life enjoy the moment what ever your colour. Big respect to the guy dancing fabulous
I like the line "Don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde," two depression-era folk-heroes of poor whites disenfranchised by the meltdown of Wall Street and the banking system, who show up in a song 50 some yeas later by a black Jamaican singing about the poor working class in his country who were once slaves from Africa and were and (still are?) oppressed by the white English settlers who ruled the island, to modern day England again around 40 some years later being sung by street musicians and then popped onto the internet to be heard by anyone, really, and so live on in cyber eternity, though their original meaning and essence is probably lost.
It's so good to see someone carefree and uninhibited.... Just enjoying the music... It amazes me when I see people dancing because music effects us in lots of different ways individually.
I was in Darwin Nt many years ago with two of my daughters and one of their friends. I started dancing to the music across the road and my family were embarrassed. Of course I ignored them
Great rendition of a great song but gotta say i just loved the guy in the background dancing his ass off... i loved it.. thanks random guy for making me smile!
I've known white guys dancing around 20% better than this guy doing similar moves. Goes to show you that this black guy could dance better, because of the color of his skin.
i always thought the the first line of this song was Get up in the morning Bacon for breakfast ,,,,decades i on i still sing the same ,,,,,,,this guy is fantastic ,,his voice is something else ///////x
This version kept bringing a smile to my face during lockdown the past two years. Love the guy with his bag dancing to the beat. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia to the people of Croydon Town?
The power of great music and vocals. A white dude singing a reggae classic with african looking guy dancing through enjoyment and girl in hijab just chilling to good tune.
Gotta say I don't understand the racial thing. But I truly believe good music and laughter can break down racial barriers. Demond Dekker would be proud to know this video is making people happy.
@@imspartacusnoimspartacus4731 I assume this was directed to me. If so no I do not. However I used to work for a radio station and I did write promos produce and record them. I've been near in or around the music business my entire life. Dad was an r&b musician starting at 13 now he's 76. I hope answered corectly. Gotta love the vid
You will never know how much you have all lifted my spirits since my husband passed last year, such happy uplifting tunes, thanks, coming to see you in exmouth next year x
I was just laying in bed dreaming away and in popped my head This song. I sat up in bed and said I"ve gotta hear that song. Now I'm trying to convince everyone in the house there is a song called The Israelites, and it's really cool and was really popular. now I've played the original they say it is cool It was never popular. Which brought me to you! Thank you for your spot on rendition and your audience participation for prooving people know the song in the street!!
@@christinemaile4072 Oh dear, sounds like an 'ex'. Ok, we'll leave it at that. I'm not from the south east London area so chances are I'll probably never bump into him. Earlier today I was just scanning through You Tube, as you do, and I came across this. It lifted me up and I just thought I would love to get through this and be able to see/hear live busking again. I'm north London/Hertfordshire. Anyway stay safe and best wishes.
I came across this being on the net. WOW. A song that I knew so well in my younger years. Result I was elated at the memory and very happy at the performance of singer , music and fella dancing alongside. I was dancing in my seat with it. Thank you for this on the net.
I've loved the song for more than 50 years. This live performance kills it! Excellent!!
Cannot NO WAY beat Reggae! 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺👊✊🤲🤲🙏👏👏👏👏

Reggae and Ska is far more uplifting than what we hearing now!
Guy dancing with carrier bag .... legend!
The guy with the carrier bag is a great dancer 😺
I've known white guys dancing around 20% better than this guy doing similar moves. Goes to show you that this black guy could dance better, because of the color of his skin.

brilliant voice and a brilliant dancer
He has a great voice.. love it..
I loved this song as a young girl and I love this performance as a mature girl. Great dancing!
Outstanding voice, great rendition. Very nicely done.
Very nice for sure & the young man in the backgroud? Great dancing performance! I have definitely enjoyed very much!
The guy with the carrier bag dancing gets my 👍up too🙈
OMG as soon as we are all free again I want to track this man down. To shake his hand and listen to a performance. He's a legend !!!
I wouldn't. He's deffo a legend, but not in a good way. ;)
@@christinemaile4072 No way, what's wrong with him ?
nothing wrong with his singing/voice...can't fault him for that. ;) leave it at that. ;)
@@christinemaile4072 Oh dear, sounds like an 'ex'.

Beautiful singing. Respect
What an absolute treat, if only for a short while. Beautiful. Thank you.
Never boring , love it,
Watching again now in August 2019 why ? It is great no other words needed.
I remember this great tune from the 60’s, but I never got the lyrics then, and I still don’t!
🎶🙂✌️I really got into this song once and made myself learn every word of the lyrics
Just superb. WHAT a voice he's got.
The Israelite in the background was feeling it.
such an underrated comment
I mean there's no doubt that this is an amazing video, but the feel good factor truly comes from the legend on the left with the carrier bag. 🎶
I came across this being on the net. WOW. A song that I knew so well in my younger years. Result I was elated at the memory and very happy at the performance of singer , music and fella dancing alongside. I was dancing in my seat with it. Thank you for this on the net.
