It was the first record I ever got...Desmond Dekker,got it from my mom in 1970 as a kid...was the begin of my love for Reggae...tomorrow I go to Jamaica....First time,gonna visit Orange street...ooohooo sweat beat...yesss Iam Dutch...lots of Reggae came out here on Dutch labels
The first record Sly Dunbar played on was Night Doctor with Ansel Collins. Lee Perry bought the rights for the song and was released on the Upsetters label.
The UK's always been more receptive to Reggae than the USA, no doubt aided by the presence of the large Caribbean community,(especially Jamaicans) present in that country... UB40 is the first and probably the only reggae act to field a no1 hit on the US charts with a cover of Red Red Wine in the late 80s
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety No no we what to know.I think you are doing a great job..I am from Jamaica and I love the love you give reggae artists.I learn a lot about my culture from you..thank you. The world need to know who you are.
Having started listening to reggae in the in the early 80's, in an area that only had pop and country on the radio, it is interesting to get the history. I had no idea who was famous and what was popular, just listened to whatever I could get.
Growing up in the 70s and the 80s in The Bronx there were 2 black radio stations, WBLS and kiss FM. They would not play reggae, they considered it jungle music. If it wasn't for third world's Cover of the ojay's hit, now that we found love, Stevie Wonder's hit master blaster, And Bob Marley I don't know if Reggae would be as big as it became🤔🎶
Wow, I never knew Desmond Dekker was rejected by both Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Arthur "Duke" Reid.😮 Very interesting list here. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 Edit: how did Janet Kay's *"Silly Games"* dd globally? I knew it was a huge UK No1 in 1979, I remember that so well.
