What is the track playing during the credits after Young Gifted And Black? I've been searching high and low and can't find that song. It seems like it should be called reggae girl or something like that.
@celtic1967ize This is Reggae, Reggae was faster before it was slower and that "Bob Marely 1965" is actually The Skatalites with The Wailers, not Bob Marley. You can recognize Ska by the bass line, Ska bass is played on the counts 1-2-3-4 steadily with the beat and Reggae bass is played around the beat. Don't assume that everything played fast is automaticly Ska, Ska was dead after 1965, this was recorded in 1970 and the film is called REGGAE not SKA
@TxTFamGuy1 I agree. Ska slowed down by the end of 1965. Then came the sound which is called ''Rudeboy-sound", which isn't rocksteady allready. Examples: the train is comming (Ken Boothe), girl i got a date (Alton Ellis) Then by the end of 1966, early 1967 rocksteady comes. Examples: rocksteady (Alton Ellis), Queen Majesty And in 1968 reggae. To resume 1959-1966 ska-era, 1966 rudeboysound-era, 1967-1968 rocksteady era, after 1968 reggae-era.
@octaviano1296 You are quite wrong in your definitions. Quite simply, you never lived any of the eras mentioned and you're a dreamer that longs for a past you were never part of. There was never an isolated ''rudeboy sound.'' It was a sub-text to music in the form of Blue Beat (which followed Ska) and Rock Steady which followed the latter.
Reggae first appeared in 1969, not 68. I was there, I lived it and as for skinheads, a great big middle class joke, shoving the working class into line.
@1DRISKINGSTON 1a) What do you know about my age? 1b) Is my age relevant? 2) How do you want to call the 1966 slow-ska? 3) The Israelites by Desmond Dekker, People Funny Boy by Lee Perry and Nanny Goat by Larry Marshall are from 1968 and early examples of reggae. Blue Beat was not the follow up for ska, but a kind of music that co-existed with ska allready in the early 60's. Sometimes the term was used as a synonym for ska or as a synecdoche for Jamaican music.
@octaviano1296 By my calculation, you were just old enough to 'get-into' Acid House. So you've read a few books, watched a couple of films and appointed yourself as an authority on Jamaican music. Therefore, i am not going to take you seriously.
Blue Beat was the follow up to Ska, not some sub-text to it. There has never been a genre called ''rudeboy sound,' rather a reference point in music. 'Israelites' was Rock Steady,' the steel guitar and chord structure is the giveaway. Dream on.
@1DRISKINGSTON You may calculate what you like. The term Blue Beat for a certain kind of Jamaican Music allready existed a few years before 1966, the year ska slowed down. ''Rudeboy sound'' is a term used in retrospect for the, slower, ska of 1966 (and i never claimed it was used otherwise). If ''Israelites'' is allready reggae or not is disputable, but it isn't rocksteady anymore. Compare it with the rocksteady until the end of the summer of 1968 and hear the difference.
@octaviano1296 What i don't need is some snotty-nosed middle class oik telling me about my culture. Stick to your pop music, leave my music to me. All your stupid equations are in your pathetic imbecilic mind. Throwing songs at me is not empirical proof of your theory. remember, Ska, Blue Beat, Rock Steady, Reggae. There was no separate ''Rudeboy Sound.''
If you can't distinguish between the various sounds by ear alone, then don't try intellectualising it. You are incapable. Now go, move.
@1DRISKINGSTON Apparently you can't stand that ''some snotty-nosed middle class oik'' has it right. The ska was in 1966 slower than in the years before 1966 and it wasn't rocksteady yet. And in retrospect it is called ''rude boy sound'', like high-medieval music offcourse only years later was called high-medieval music. You don't agree with the fact that the ska of 1966 was significant slower than the ska of '59-'65 and was not rocksteady yet? Than something is wrong with your (older) ears.
@octaviano1296 It's not apparent at all. What is apparent is that you are born stupid. Your approach is some cod scientific/philosophical blather based on your imagination. It is best that you keep your findings to yourself because you lack any credibility and certainly do not have the academic qualifications to vouchsafe your 'findings.' There is no polite way to tell you this, but your one braincell is imploding.
@octaviano1296 You lose! You should understand the ad homonym argument as defined by Bond's Law before you claim ad hominem. Fuck you. You're an asshole. That neither is a ad hominem. Bond's Law.
@octaviano1296 Lastly octaviano1296, if you wish to be taken seriously, i suggest you show something other than 'Brahms Piano Concerto' on your channel and breast implants, ffs! I note you are from the Netherlands and correct me if i am wrong, but what do you know about skinheads and reggae music. It was a quaint British thing, with many Jamaicans residing in this country, hence the import of reggae to the UK.
I am unaware of any similar phenomenon running in tandem in Holland.
@1DRISKINGSTON A pianoquartet by Brahms is on my channel (good music), but have i shown breast implants? I'm not aware of that. I listen to Jamaican music for almost 30 years, a big part of my life. Ska, rocksteady, reggae. Vinyl, cassette, CD, mp3. 1.000's of songs. My favourite era is roughly 1960-1980. I am a big fan of Jamaican music and i know what i'm talking about.
@octaviano1296 Possibly that is your problem. You have Brahms on the brain and you seem to be applying an intellectualised view upon Jamaican music.Really, how many people that listen to Brahms enjoy Jamaican music in real terms? Only you. And not forgetting breast implants. Show me a reference point for your research other than your bedroom where you fantasise.
You don't know what you are talking about. You are Dutch. Clogs, cheese, tulips, dams. You are 35 years old and a very stupid person.
Amazing JAZZ JAMAICA CONCERT, which was recorded in FULL HD at the IMPERIAL WHARF JAZZ FESIVAL 2008, FULHAM, LONDON. Just type " asbx81 " in the Search Box above.
well, maybe you're wright! but if you simply listen the music (without looking if it's '66 or '69 or '73) for me it's ska. I love ska, rocksteady , dub & reggae in every form (well, despite raggamuffin') as every body who loves bob and marcia, maybe the best jamaican duet ever. i have the vynil (not the original) and i love this song! in every way skinheads are used to listen fantastic music... so skinhead reggae it's ok! ciao from italy viva i mods!
'fraid it is reggae - ska has a different beat. 1970 - so it is classed as reggae.
First it was bluebeat and ska, (well actually mento first and lots of influences before - but too long to go into it all) then rocksteady from about 66/67 to about '68. Reggae part of'68/69 onwards - Trust me !! x
@haggvespaboy I agree with you but i never knew skinheads were anything but racists. I grew up in London during the late 60s. Great song though..loved Jimmy Cliffs 'Wild World' too.
@derbbus SOME did all that stuff, and Richard Allen can take some of the blame for it, along with the NF filling young heads with bullshit. Most skinheads had nothing for or against any one group or the other, except maybe the usual 'turf' things and football loyalty, and that applied long before the skinheads arrived. Skins loved this music, it was part and parcel. Soul and Reggae, boots shone to perfection, levis staprest or jeans, fred perrys, bennies and crombies, footy, girls. Fuck the NF.
when i was a skinhead we danced to this and other black music and racism never come into it. i don't understand the racist connection now with today's skinheads, we weren't ! we felt a connection with the rude boys of Jamima. times change i guess. .not always for the best. .
The original version was "To Be Young Gifted And Black" by the song's writer the great Nina Simone, released on RCA in the UK, in 1969. Incidently, Bob & Marcia's reggae version was released via Motown in the USA! Weird!
Well, I bought it new in 1970! - along with many other Reggae sides, and fondly remember finding the Nina Simone version - on the orange UK RCA label - in a wire basket of cheap records at Tescos! I was (typically) also heavily into Tamla Motown at the time, and just getting into the "Rhythm & Soul" scene (which later evolved into 'Northern Soul'). I didn't know of the Motown connection back then, (I bought it on Harry J), but this is now fairly common knowledge among collectors.
Funny listening to him at the start. If we could get there [highway] we could win anyone over because reggae is 'good' but has 'class'. Reggae? Yeah I think its 'caught' on.
So Im wonderin who was he thinkin of when he spoke of 'our music has as much class' an the rest.
There's the right answers. But you know theres some hurt, been shunned, by those he looked up to perhaps. Other musicians of other genres? He'll have to wait another 5 or 6 years for the Stones to visit., But 1970.
ooook! It's "no more heartaches" I guess the original one is Delroy Wilson's but I'm not sure. It's been covered and versioned many times eg. ken lazarus, the beltones, sanchez
