The Treatment of Puma Jones In The Group | The Story of Black Uhuru

[@anneharrison257]

I saw Black Uhuru w/Mykal Rose and Puma in the early 80s in Washington, DC. What an honor! They were brilliant ❤️💚💛

Anne, what was the venue for that show?

[@AuthenticSelector64]

Black Uhuru tore up the place with their Showcase Album….Sly n Robbie…. Mykal distinctive vocals… Puma… Superb backing vocals n stylish dancing…. Duckie… mystic n kool … no nonsense man…. The image was brilliant….

No Uhuru without Mikaal Rose!

Black sounds of freedom

Puma Jones held the core of Black Uhuru together

[@kyakindu3407]

Can you do a spotlight on Puma including the treatment? Not much about her is mentioned .

black uhuru ❤ red

[@theodorebradshaw9352]

Puma Jones contributed much to Black Uhuru..maybe even more than Michael and Ducky..

[@FitzroyFrancisRockefeller]

FYI...it was "Uhuru" then after Garthie and Don left, the late Kojo Brown told Ducky to add Black to define the Uhuru.

I love Black Uhuru, but ill never understand the change in their sound. I have a hard time accepting that made such great hard core roots songs like 'A Eden Pan Street' and 'Wood for my fire' , would later release 80's techno pop sounding stuff like, 'Party Next Door''. Anthem makes me sad. The trend away from traditional roots sound had started a few years before Anthem was released, but Anthem really seals the deal as being the end of the roots reggae sound. Fortunately, there is new blood bringing that sound back.
I would add that even though I'm critical of Black Uhuru's sound evolution, there has been some decent Black Uhuru songs in the post Rose era, but again, I'm critical of the lack of sound cohesion, great Reggae usually has a cohesive sound, and a lot of the post Rose albums are all over the place sound wise.

We are still waiting for how the group treated puma Jones.. You forgot???

[@chicfini]

How do lawyers sleep at night?

[@Soli_Deo_Gloria_.]

The _magnum opus_ of Black Uhuru is _Brutal_ and its dubs... Black Uhuru was also never as good without Miss Puma Jones...
Yes... One man's opinion and I'm stick'n to it.

Puma is My 🖤

[@fabriciotonelli5396]

Brutal is also my favorite album in all times. It´s rare find somebody who shares such a admiration for this album. But for me, it will be always my favorite!!

[@theodorebradshaw9352]

Very true..Puma made the exceptional difference

Just would like to offer some constructive feedback--the title really doesn't represent the content of the video. You barely mention Puma, and only briefly discuss Rose denying mistreating her. Also, you're kind of giving a chronological history of the group but it's not easy to follow where you're going with it. Dig the channel and the content, but I think you could make it a lot better with stronger editing and accurate titles. Blessings!
