Folks need to know that Byron Lee & the Dragonaires (with all due respect) were basically a copy band, for a long time, and played mostly covers early on (like this song) for the "uptown" crowd. Downtown (and country) ska was a bit different, definitely less contrived. . This is actually kinda funny.. I'm sure very few TOWN ska dances were filmed, if any are out there I wish they would surface!!! (These comments from one who knows...and who knows knows..)
@ehites ....this was the song they recorded to represent jamaica at some function abroad , while the original ska creators were left behind ...i do not know the REAL story , but i heard bits of it . This is Ska .......real funny .
@ehites Byron Lee and the Waggonaires , uptown cover, caberet, karaoke band , they did their work of covering people songs and making loads of dollars

So thats how the cool, not southern baptist, part of my family learned how to dance. They were always the cool ones. I love ska and its history.

Ik zag al op deze op TV. Stukjes ervan.
Die moest ik hebben.
Zoeken, zoeken ,zoeken.
Nooit kunnen vinden totdat ik op Sundance een kraampje uit de UK uitkamde.
En hoppa daar was tie eindelijk na een jaar of tien.
Wel een bar slechte gekopieerde videoband, maar ach.
Jimmy Cliff en Eric Morris zijn voor mij de hoogtepunten.
THIS IS SKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
