@D Joseph. That’s what I say. I have the Most High, my health and strength, my south facing back garden, and sweet reggae music. I have everything I need.
It just goes to show that the history has been passed down correctly... Being a young Skin before the internet and all that kind of thing happened, I was taught all of this history and many of these stories by my older friends, but without visual aids or videos or anything; only word of mouth (it was the cassette tape era, and I treasured my second-hand copies of copies of the original Ska/Rocksteady/Reggae records as if they were the original pressings themselves; they did not sell this music at the music store back then, so whatever you had was like gold, even if it was just an old worn-out cassette tape) ... I am glad to see that everything I was taught (before this video was made) is in perfect agreement with what this video shows... Bravo to SKINHEADS for keeping it real!
Clapton comes across as a massive knob in a lot of anecdotes. See for example his reaction to Jimi Hendrix or indeed the racist rants. Weird coming from a man who built a whole career thanks to black music.
I saw Steel Pulse live in Vegas on the Strip. All I remember is being in a giant pool, passing the weed around & jamming out to the best music ever from dusk until dark. Fave concert ever.
Not enough people know about the great man Linton, man was well a head of his time and didn’t get enough attention but then again maybe that’s a good thing because only those that are really into reggae get to enjoy him 👌
1:20 - I can mention only two guys in Poland who were able and smart and lucky enough to pass Reggae /partialy RASTA/ message to the people under communist oppression: Robert Brylewski, and Jurek "Słoma" Słomiński - meeting them was a religious experience, fully spiritual. Thank you, fellows!
Grew up with this music still listen to it born and raised in London Cyprian parents now live in Sydney Australia music was blaring from open windows 🎧🎤🎼💕the best ever 💖
I can say in all confidence that I prefer the jamaican mixes of Catch a Fire over the Blackwell mixes. I love rocksteady groups, the Heptones and Steel Pulse for their vocal harmonies, so having them more in front in the JA mixes is nice to have
Such good documentary. You have to love the BBC for their wide scope and research on their own people´s cultures, whatever the ethnicity. That is waht make us a great country.
I love hybrid music...fusion done RIGHT sounds amazing. Like with ska/punk in the '70s & '80s. But the homogenization of music that goes on today is not the same thing. It has no soul or uniqueness anymore. All genres sound alike.
@@YPO6 Check out Jazzin’ Jamaica. Ernest Raglin Monty Alexander Dean Fraser You’d b surprised what you can find on the Internet. As a sub genre itself, Reggae or at least Jazz has never been amigos due various factors such as tempo. But if you study it, in the late 50s to early 70s Ska, ( Bluebeat in the UK ) followed by Rock Steady which leaned away from the diversity and variety of brass and wind instruments took a lesser popular stance due to changing musical times and what was deemed economical and viable at the time. Studio session players were abundant in Jamaica and leaned heavily on the R’n’B ( as well as uptempo Jazz ) music which was coming out of America through radio stations. Latin America was a melting pot for diverse sub genres of Salsa with Combos, trios and of course big bands who all played instruments and fused the vibe of the day. I was born early 60s to Jamaican parents. Grew up in a musical household with church and god fearing parents. Friday to Sunday music was persistent in my life!
I always thought Clapton had stole Marley’s song but realise now it was in essence a collaboration that helped reggae crossover into the main stream!!! Nice Eric 👏
Hmmm...... 2 minutes and Chris "Black"well is talking about how he needed to "White-ify" the Wailers and their music to bring it to a bigger (white) audience. Just my observation.
Look ya them white wash everytin heiffin tin even the most high image dem white wash right now dem behaving like dem know reggae to the point where u just know seh dem a culture vulture this's reality reggae belong to the childrens of Israel like u hear Desmond Dekker say in is song slavery proverty mek wi sing ok tht was wht tek us out of our pain.
John Gleeson It’s called reverse racism. I call it constant whinging whining negativity. They never see the good or progress or gods mysterious ways. There hypocrisy reminds me of an old saying. That fighting for Peace is like fucking for Virginity. History is what it is. Learn from it. Do better next time around. Lay down the racism. There are and is good and bad in every race of people’s. Only The Foolish Dog Bark at the Flying Bird. Jah live. Thanks RobertNestaMarley for your bravery and honesty and your loving Spirit
So they were all black, American, blues players that were emigrating to Britain were they? How about if a classical musician loved Beethoven, but then disagreed with 100s of 1000s of Germans coming here? I suppose if you play the sitar then you must want more Indians here?
Funny we're still talking about the same thing we're still telling our son's not to dress a certain way not to act a certain way so they won't be harassed by the police even here in America see how Unison we are and how should really don't change
Exactly it's like there's been much progress..but then history will always repeat itself and its about Control..They want to oppress 2keep us in check n remind everyone that they are in control..I dont like to sound anti-government or anti-police but indeed I worry for my little boy becoming a teenager and how he will act out in the world, worrying n praying he will be safe n always come home to me..
A true King is one proclaimed by the people, not a self appointed one. Bob was a King. I cried the day he left earth. And, btw, I have ZERO respect for Eric 'NF' Clapton.
Piagge man Can you imagine living next to a football club football Riots And police using horses Against kids Of Asian and black Africano big difference between Jamaica The police was always hunting for Asian and black people As one African used to live in With us As my father had rented a Room to him 7 cliff Terrace property Always Constantly terrorised by the Constable police Harassment by police The other side of the property was a Polish who never got disturbed like Jamaican on other side never got Disturbed Sleeping never stood up for any one. Stand up fight for your right Bob marley
@@Chris_oak80. I have two mix-race children and they are big adult's and my daughter and my son would never say there black! Bob said the same thing! And they are proud of it.. Bless!!!
Errol Nicholson well I have three and we all can call ourself whatever we want, the fact is there are black, being mix is NOT a race. Telling your kids they are not black is a injustice to there race.
Why was Marley trying so hard to be a Jew that he never ever was? Why was he becoming a WAILER, and making everyone a Wailer, THERE IS NO WAILING WALL IN JAMAICA OR AFRICA, so why was he trying to Build a WALL, and Condemning Babylon that he never lived in 5000 -3500 years befor Christ? In my view, he not only Enslaved himself, but IS responsible for ENSLAVING so many others throug his Songs, and Hymns, and Verses and Lyrics ! This is something ver serious to think about becaus eit is now happening with Gangster Culture and Hip Hop Music. What are these people celebretaing and idolizing when they should be casting out the Idols. Ras Tafari really did unrepairable damage and proved to be a true despot and tyrant.
Reggae & old ska is a bit part of life.....Remember the good days in the Caribbean Club-Ipswich.
Peter Tosh on chorus was just pure fire
What would I do without this beautiful music in my life.
You would be clay pottery designer.
@@YPO6 There's a thought if I get bored I might consider it ;-)

Jamaica is so influential for a little country.
Clapton. Ugh. I wonder if this documentary will touch on his "Enoch Powell" phase. Thank you so much for uploading this.

Summer 76 was hot there was a water shortages in London... I lived in Kensal Green carnival was walking distance away I remember that gear well...
I saw Steel Pulse live in Vegas on the Strip. All I remember is being in a giant pool, passing the weed around & jamming out to the best music ever from dusk until dark. Fave concert ever.
I just love watching and listening to David Hinds one of my heroes. Mikhael Riley too. STEEL PULSE!!
Loved the inclusion of Linton Kwesi Johnson in the background
Do you know the name off that song ?
@@LynnxMarley All Wi Doin' Is Defendin' 🤓
Thank you very Much !!!!
Same here!
Not enough people know about the great man Linton, man was well a head of his time and didn’t get enough attention but then again maybe that’s a good thing because only those that are really into reggae get to enjoy him 👌
so glad i lived through these times and was on the side of right...one love everyone
Ooh I know u must have some good n crazy stories about these times
I love this. So awesome to see the history of Reggae music in England. So interesting. Thanks for posting this.
epic documentary, learnt alot of information from this
Wow what a documentary.
In Jamaica Chris blackwell was known as Chris Whiteworst.
Fantastic Documentary and History of Reggae and British Reggae. Thanks for Sharing!
1:20 - I can mention only two guys in Poland who were able and smart and lucky enough to pass Reggae /partialy RASTA/ message to the people under communist oppression: Robert Brylewski, and Jurek "Słoma" Słomiński - meeting them was a religious experience, fully spiritual. Thank you, fellows!
and DJ's: Sławek Gołaszewski, and Włodek Kleszcz - doing their positive job on a radio (Program 3)
All due respect Marley's band & background singers need their own story
Peyer Tosh is the reason we even know of Robert

Yeee the arrival of Uncle Bob the King of Jamaica
Bob and the wailers came not to change the law but to interpret law in the music thru reggae vibes
I ❤ reggae music

@csgonzalez4p BOLLOCKS!!!!
The irony? Clapton was (is?) anti-immigrant
really?
czcams.com/video/Dg9IZyx_-Os/video.html yes really
He saw England's population changing, and like many didn't like it.
Hypocrisy that reaches another level from a bloke who played and championed blues music
So they were all black, American, blues players that were emigrating to Britain were they? How about if a classical musician loved Beethoven, but then disagreed with 100s of 1000s of Germans coming here? I suppose if you play the sitar then you must want more Indians here?

Notice how they talking about bob Marley as if Peter Tosh and bunny wailer was their it was the wailers but only bob along
