Bobby did not kill himself I know that for a fact I am the girl he was killed over trying to rescue me from a kidnapping. Had it not been for that we would be married and happy to this day. He was the best man I haver ever met in my life.
@comanche561 - Who cares Bitch. You're just making it up for attention seeking matters. We don't wanna hear your shit!! You're probably a guy(now an "IT"), who had the "Cut-&-Snip"!!! Now let's click on your crap for making such a shitty comment!!!
Bobby Bloom did not accidentally shoot himself. You're thinking of Chicago guitarist Terry Kath, maybe. Bloom was killed in a barroom in a fight over a girl.
Bloody hell I always thought he was a black guy.But he has a wonderful voice pity no more hits.Wonder what he is doing? that is if he is still with us.
If I was paddling down a creek and all of a sudden a bunch of women jumped up from the weeds, I'd probably tip over! Nice Brady Bunch 'fro on the singer.
are there no good copys of this song or is it all stupid concerts and documentrys some one needs to make a lyric video for this song like every other song that has been made.
I like it when USA and UK mess up Jamaican music. This song almost stands on it's own. It's not calypso really. It's not soul. It kind of has a chain gang/motown feel to it...sort of. It's not rocksteady or reggae. Although, plenty of reggae artists cover it. Freddie Notes and The Rudies doing my favorite version. Great song. It's too bad he wasn't as inspired when writing his other songs.
Jeff Barry told discovery magazine he was murdered over a woman I read that article about fifteen years ago. Officially he died cleaning a hand gun. So whats the real deal man.
This was one of my all time faves when I was a kid. This and Little Willy (Sweet). There are other versions of this in the YouTube-Sphere but I like this one because it has the original video and Bobby Bloom doing an intro voice-over. Look closely for the reed dancers!
yeh its a great song alright,anybody my age will remember so many things from that time, his voice fooled millions , one thing i want to say is, the music world should of stopped in the early 1970s,look at the joint today YUK,fuckin depresses me man,no real music out there, just recycled wanna be,s and pre fabricated wanna be stars in the name of fooling the kids and keeping the rich corperates alive with their plastic empty vile bullshit music.raise your glass to more solid and happier times!
There is something rather haunting about this video. Bobby is so vibrant, and alive. His wonderful and warm baritones just let you dive into Jamaica, and feel what it's about. I truly miss this man who's been gone for so long, and this is one of my most favorite songs.

If all you think of today's music is that it is 'manufactured crap' then you're not really looking. If you take the time to listen and explore, some of the best bands ever to exist are flying under the radar right now. Don't take mainstream pop as the face of a generation of music - stop complaining and investigate what is really out there. I personally love where our world's music scene is at present.
Good song, makes me think of my old 8-track player, busted when I put some polka in it
@jahnbon It;s just a preceptive of what was in our minds. First thing you think of when someone says Jamaica is Black. It's not racist, just a preconceived notion. When i say Louis Prima, many Italians assume he was of a mixed race, no doubt because of his singing and style - just like Bobby Bloom.
Spoke too soon on one thing - it's a shame they cut off the ending of this song, where Mr. Bloom sang, a capella, the signature verse from "Oh, what a beautiful morning" (frm Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma") followed by a small trailing series of acoustic guitar chords to end the song. Very interesting juxtaposition from the main part of the song to the ending, made all the more poignant with Mr. Bloom's death in 1974.
Love this song since it came out. Great early video w/ light comic relief! I am glad that The Staple Singers didn't get caught up in all that "black" or "white" world when they recorded Bobby's great tune Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na Boom Boom)
Bear in mind this video was a decade pre-MTV. Pre-MTV music shows had a fraction of the audience (and acts) usually after midnight(your)local time. Throw in your personal filters and that's just the way it was. Its no wonder why this music vid confuses people.
I recorded demos with Bobby. My ex boss married his widow after the accident. I love this song too. I have a cassette somewhere with some of his demos... If the magnatism remains after 40 years. He was a great musician. Did a Pepsi commercial when I knew him. Thanks 4 posting this vid.
The video is as fun as the song, all for far less than some 5 million dollars i am sure. Clever rules over big production budget. Great song and the video catches the feel of it so well. Thanks for having this one up. Is one of the most catchy songs i have heard. Always have loved it.
I've always loved this song. Just gets right to the soul and makes it wanna dance. But, like thestevo46, I thought Bobby was a black man. He's got the same soulful tone to his voice. Great video. Love it when I get the see the artist perform. :)
@bobbyeph No, they were just great songs. Not like the useless shit, with no originality released now. I feel sorry for anyone born or at least not hearing the great music from 1966-1976.
@maximum1954 Well, max, I kind of agree with you. There was lots of good stuff from '66 to '76, but there was an overpowering load of crap out there at the same time. Now is the most beautiful time. The internet has opened everything up.
@Laceykat66 If we look beyond the mass marketed stuff the the music business promotes, then I think that there is more music available today that will stand the test of time. Although I might be persuaded that the best of 65-75 is better than the best of other periods, I still think that there is more really good stuff available right right now than there was at any other time.
FWIW, I don't think I have ever listened to a Katy Perry song!

Of course they are native...as soon as they spot someone on the river, that's what they naturally do..they come to the rivers edge and dance completely in sync with the song you happen to be humming... :p lol At least thats what happens in all the Bollywood stuff :(
@wheelchairmommy Because it's all on the right side in Montego Bay. Yes, it's how he steers the boat, otherwise he would be going in circles. Funny question. Great song.
A classic. Bobby Bloom did some great singles for the Kama Sutra label prior to this one. When "Montego Bay" came out, he performed it on American Bandstand and told a great story about how he wrote "Heavy Makes You Happy" for the Monkees, but the Staple Singers covered it instead. Sadly, Bobby Bloom committed suicide a few years after this 1970 hit. He is greatly missed.
Although he did suffer from depression, Bobby Bloom didn't commit suicide. He was killed when he was 28 (3 years after "Montego Bay") after charging into a room in a fight over a girl, and was accidentally shot in a scuffle with a man who was never identified. (according to Wikepedia.)
You're right in that is the account that is often given in his biographies. Interestingly enough, at the time that he died, the obit that I read said that his passing was a suicide. It didn't make sense, as he had so much going for him. Whatever the case, it was a great loss.
This video and most oldies programmers lop off the actual ending of this song, an a cappella version of "Oh! What a Beautiful Mornin'" from "Oklahoma", which is a wise choice.
What a shallow comment. I'm guessing you're a big Am. Idol fan too. Most of those people are singers who look good and not song writer/composer/singer/musician... who may not look like a god/goddess. I'll take the latter for AmIdols are just glorified karaoke singers.
no offense to any of them but alot of the one hit wonders from the 70's could have never made it in the video age. they just didn't have the looks for the camera. artists such as bobby bloom, king harvest, bob welch, starstruck and terry jacks are just some that were just not camera friendly. although, look at the rolling stones so i could be wrong, tho.
jesus! always loved this song,always thought bobby bloom was a black man,never knew a white guy could get to these tones,only thought a black man could sing like this,very surprised!!
The best part of the song is his version of "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" it happens at the end of the song. This version cuts out to quick. From August of 1997 to sept 1999 my life was pure hell. Every morning I would play the end of this song just to hear him sing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" it realy helped me big time. RIP BOBBY.

@wheelchairmommy Because it's all on the right side in Montego Bay. Yes, it's how he steers the boat, otherwise he would be going in circles. Funny question. Great song.

A classic. Bobby Bloom did some great singles for the Kama Sutra label prior to this one. When "Montego Bay" came out, he performed it on American Bandstand and told a great story about how he wrote "Heavy Makes You Happy" for the Monkees, but the Staple Singers covered it instead. Sadly, Bobby Bloom committed suicide a few years after this 1970 hit. He is greatly missed.

Although he did suffer from depression, Bobby Bloom didn't commit suicide. He was killed when he was 28 (3 years after "Montego Bay") after charging into a room in a fight over a girl, and was accidentally shot in a scuffle with a man who was never identified. (according to Wikepedia.)

You're right in that is the account that is often given in his biographies. Interestingly enough, at the time that he died, the obit that I read said that his passing was a suicide. It didn't make sense, as he had so much going for him. Whatever the case, it was a great loss.

He could pass for a 70's porn star

This video and most oldies programmers lop off the actual ending of this song, an a cappella version of "Oh! What a Beautiful Mornin'" from "Oklahoma", which is a wise choice.

What a shallow comment. I'm guessing you're a big Am. Idol fan too. Most of those people are singers who look good and not song writer/composer/singer/musician... who may not look like a god/goddess. I'll take the latter for AmIdols are just glorified karaoke singers.

no offense to any of them but alot of the one hit wonders from the 70's could have never made it in the video age. they just didn't have the looks for the camera. artists such as bobby bloom, king harvest, bob welch, starstruck and terry jacks are just some that were just not camera friendly. although, look at the rolling stones so i could be wrong, tho.

The horrifying '70s clothes and hairdon'ts didn't help. I have a fear of polyester thanks to starting kindergarten in 1970.

The best part of the song is his version of "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" it happens at the end of the song. This version cuts out to quick. From August of 1997 to sept 1999 my life was pure hell. Every morning I would play the end of this song just to hear him sing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" it realy helped me big time. RIP BOBBY.
