- I Am The Upsetter', performed and produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry's for Joe Gibbs' Amalgamated Records early in 1968.
Featuring the talents of famed guitarist Lyn Taitt and his celebrated band, the Jets, the recording not not became a sizeable Jamaican hit, but also established the moniker by which Perry became widely known over the years that immediately followed.

If I ever got a chance to fight my boss in the parking lot, I'd want this song to be playing
nbarrager Productions play “the conqueror” by Dennis Alcapone after 😂😂😂
@@Mr-DowNBeat Bruhhhh!!!
😆😆😆😆
Hahaha sensational 😂👏
😂😂😂
Another one of a kind genius sails away.
RIP Scratch Perry
I think he may have beamed himself off of the earth, I mean as opposed to sailing away, ha ha.
A Fulfilled Life 🕊️
It was a happy day for Lee..💙
The world is missing another genius. RIP
RIP....a true legend. Keith Richards once said of him "More than a producer, he knows how to inspire the artist’s soul. Like Phil Spector, he has a gift of not only hearing sounds that come from nowhere else, but also translating those sounds to the musicians. Scratch is a shaman."
Keith Richards huh? Cultured Keith, love him!!
Upsetter isn't what it sounds like. I'm putting on my magic hat
I followed him all my life, bought every album an cd I could, then my wife got tickets to see him, in Vicar Street, Dublin, Ireland. What a gig, I was on exstacy and weed, by the time he finished, I had to go outside for air, just standing on the pavement, and he came out and shook my hand before he got in the limo. Then my wife giving out coz I left her in the gig on her own, and me in total bliss, I shook his hand.
Or shaperson as we must now say
[06 June 2022] For years, I'd gone around saying I wasn't interested in ska or rocksteady or reggae. But the other day, I found myself reading an article about Lee Scratch Perry, and I realized that I'd better listen to some of his music, just so I could say I knew what he sounded like. I listened to this song, and for the past forty-eight hours or so, it's been the one song I really want to listen to.
One of the all-time greats; you lived one hell of a life, so no need to mourn you! Lickkle more...
Right
Absolute genius ! Now he is at home in the cosmos from which he came.
Why are you so gravelicious, yeah-he-yeah-hy
Why are you so covetous, yeah-he-yeah-hy
Everything you want for yourself
and you think of no one else
Why are you so red-eyed
Why can't you satisfy
You take people for fool
And use them as a tool
But I am the avenger
You'll never get away from me
I am the upsetter
Suffer, you're born to suffer
I told you once to run, yeah-he-yeah-hy
But you take it all for fun, yeah-he-yeah-hy
Now it will be rough
For you it will be tough
I promise you the right and the left
And there'll be the uppercut
I am the avenger
This is the upsetter
Suffer, you're born to suffer
You'll never get away from me
I am the avenger
You'll never get away from me
Thank you:)
You sure "rough" in the 9th line from bottom isn't "tough" and "tough" from the 10th lane from the bottom isn't "rough"?
@@nativeafroeurasian thank you. You right. I'm sorry but as a Italian, english isn't my mother tongue 😂.
@@lorenzo_firinu no problem, mistakes happen especially on that long texts - it's not my native language neither :)
"I promise you the right and the left
And there'll be the uppercut
I am the avenger
This is the upsetter"
Rest in peace to the devil chasing upsetter. They'll never get away from you!
This is the first time I've heard this tune...I'm totally blown away by how great this is and now now it's stuck on repeat. Awesome time
I hear this version for the first time but when the text came I knew I heard it before
It's damn good isn't it, and remember it's 50+ years ago
@@daveepelone6221 Ha ha I'm only 44 years young but love it
I've seen him live numerous times still going strong, jah bless
Hes a legend 84 and still going. He made people in the reggae world famous
This has been a very sad week. In the same we lost a true legend in Charlie Watts the world has lost another true legend in Lee Perry the King the original Upsetter. Responsible for many ska and rocksteady classics and made many memorable recordings with Bob Marley. His only UK hit was Return Of Dangjo by the Upsetters which he produced and was used in a Cadbury advert. RIP Lee Perry and thank you for many great recordings.
R.I.P BOSS PERRY THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE YOU ❤️😭💕👍💚
I love the innocence injected into the veins. A gem of a painkiller leading me into a comfortable mind zone.
Upset by the passing of the original Upsetter. He is now upstairs kicking up a stink.
Your in heaven now making music with Bob Marley.
I think they would be cussing each other rather than making music.
Skin head days London 1960s,, love it. Skin head reggae,,London
Dam, I love this song......love the bass line....piano..,..etc....
.
R.I.P to the Disco Devil, your legacy speaks for itself, you shall never be forgotten
My favorite scratch perry...wicked guitars....
Rest in power 😭⚘
This amazing man created DUB and produced some of the best music to come out of Jamaica! A GOD among men!
Yessssssss
All things start from Scratch! Kibir am Lak! Glory to Jah
@Psychology Self Knowledge ? the only way to know God is to be God ,and the only way to be God is to let go of who we think we are. Thou Shalt have no other God but me ??? that means ME ! also Means the same for you , Man created God in his own image ,,God is in everyone of us so no need to go to any building to pray and God wouldnt want it any other way :) his Kingdom is not on Earth , so The Vatican is Satans Palace !!! also King David was a Black Man and Moses was a Black Man ,so forget what you think you know ,you have been lied to all of your life ,do your home work ! Be a Light Unto Yourself , not God ,Allah ,Mecca ,Jesus or the Buddha , (all invented by Man) none but Yourself ! who gets you outa bed in a morning ,who works all week to pay the bills ,who has babies ? YOU , You are God and you Create your own life as well as every other fuker ,God my Anus ,something for those who can not face the fact that we are on this globe alone , LOL
@Psychology Self Knowledge we ourself created God ,"Gods" in our imagination and we forgot about our own potential as a species ! to be united all thses different Gods and religions do nothing but Divide us and create trouble and Wars
Yes he was quite good
RIP Lee "Chicken Scratch" Perry.
Thank you for the music. 🇯🇲❤🎶🇯🇲❤🎶
i count myself a lucky boy i had the great privilege of seeing scratch on the warped tour in '98 with rancid, voodoo glow skulls and a few others. i just remember no one in the audience could adapt to his otherworldliness but i stood there magnetized. rip you prince of unfiltered sound.
true legend and genius rest in power

A fabolous life with the legacy of fabulous music. Thank You LSP.
R.I.P. to the master and legend Mr Perry
Onward now to your next great adventure, Mr. Perry! Rest merrily.
Rest easy Scratch.
My favourite tune ever. Always said i want this to be played in my funeral. This, or, alternatively, Israelites by Desmond Dekker.
I always wanted Break On Through by the Doors. Or maybe Anthem by Leonard Cohen.
Desmond Dekker is thee big big singer for me - but opt for 'It mek' or 'Sabotage' and there are many songs that good.
007 by Desmond....👍
I want 'groovin' by UB40 👌🏻❤️💛💚
You can always work both tunes in to your service ...one when they bring out the coffin, one after that, and one when people file out. And maybe a few more in between that. And then, of course, you have your wake...
I read somewhere that he filled up bottles with different amounts of water and hit those as an instrument, love that!!!!
Rest in heaven. Upsetter we will miss you. Thank you for the tunes🌸🏵🌺
Dub inna Zion. We love you Lee Scratch Perry.
RIP Lee Scratch Perry , The Upsetter 🙏🏼
Thank you for this wicked tune Scratch! RIP THE UPSETTER!!!!!
What a fantastic message ! What a fantastic message !!...the envious greedy people in this world think they are in control of you but you are in their heads so you are in control of them...🥇🍾 ...anyone that has ever been bullied listen to this track...message to all of us...
RIP Scratch
REST IN POWER ✊🏾
FLY HIGH KING SCRATCH ☝🏾🙏🏾🌟

You can't beat SCRATCH!!!!
Rest in power big man! Nuff respect!
Quality tune from the innovator, the creator, the originator, of reggae as we know it. Genius.
Correct, Marley is a LEGEND, Perry is a GENIUS.
@@comeonurams2233 : Perry brought Marley to the light of the public. Today, many people see Perry as that weird guy, strange genius - but not many have been as influental as him.
Marley was in a vocal group before - like many at that time.
Then he went solo. The international breakthrough for Marley happened because his management decided that guitar solos and the like should be added to the reggae sound.
Most of that you know already, I reckon. Just wanna type a few words and I'm not yet feeling ready to go to bed. °*°*°*°°**°°*°* (#.^)
Rydemsplert IMPARTIAL MUSIC im pretty sure bob marleys "management team" did not introduce, popularize, or otherwise guitar solos "and the like" in reggae music you fucking knob
Yeah, they kinda did - we're talking about Chris Blackwell here, and Island records. It was part of a move to make reggae more attractive to an international audience. And also alienated part of the original audience for it, who regard Bob as having 'sold out'. A well-known part of the story, actually...
@@secretagent5954 Poor minds and keyboard heroes must insult others on the web. Go into yourself - and please find peace with you and others.
What a bass line 👏..love it, oh fuc man...it's insanely sweet

R.I.P Lee Scratch Perry 🙏🏿👑🎶 King of Dub
When I had my all roots/rocksteady radio shows on both coasts on three different radio stations Lee would feature predominately in them, I would frequently do all Lee Perry shows and this song always opened and closed the show. It is a beautiful catchy lovely little chune. But none like the uppercut. I am the avenger, This is the Upsetter!
Rest in peace Lee.
One of the best, one of the greatest, LSP continues to inspire to this day. The maverick outsider. One of the most inspiring human beings out there
Lee Perry tornou minhas chapações muito mais deliciosas, vá em paz mestre
Perfect breakup
