Derrick Morgan, Ernest Ranglin & Prince Buster

[mattlocki]

Mr Ska, Rocksteady,Reggae - Ernest the originator !!!! i like the subs - not all have english as first listnin.

[ericwaltersmith]

I know derrick personally, and trust me ,not only is he a legend, but a sweet man and as grounded as they come.

[DimThreesz]

@ericwaltersmith I know him aswell, he's always been a nice guys to me. He's awesome

[thailow117]

ernest ranglin's music has soooo much more to offer than his participation in developing ska, which is great in its own right. but take the time and listen to his 'modern answers to old questions' album. i once put it on on a weekender, and people went ernest who? haha

[taildragger53]

@thailow117 Yes, Monty Alexander once said "Ernest doesn't just play Calypso, Reggae,Jazz & Blues..he plays them ALL at the SAME time". Ernest is one of the few REAL versatile musicians left today.

[TroijanSkinhead]

[antalvespo]

[elimrqz]

Does anyone know where this clip comes?

[IViewMusic]

Kindly I request you look in the info panel. That's where they keep the information.

[IViewMusic]

The link provided by the uploader doesn't work, but if you do the same search (BBC + Jamaican) on a better torrent site (say, TPB) you'll get lucky.

[GaryLawrence0]

This is kool.

To the werld!!!

[judzee49]

I only wish it was a longer clip!

[travismaynard2]

Prince Buster recorded "Oh Carolina" for the Folkes Brothers in '59. Thats the story I've heard.

[RGwhelan15]

Desmond Dekker started ska

[suepurkiss]

Desmond went a long way to getting Ska rooted in the UK BUT he was no way the starter of Ska. The first big "ska" "bluebeat" hit in the uk was (beleive it or not) My Boy Lollipop" by Millie.

[firebladerr1]

True Bout Demsond D

But It Started way B4 That With Shuffle/Boggie Woogie Ect The Transition Into Ska

Very Early 60s Even To Say Late 50s

With Dat Tune Theophilus Beckford - Easy Snappin Which Jamaican History Tells It

But Millie Tune 63/64 So Ska Started B4 That Tune Check Out A Lot Of Blue Beat Records/Coxsone Dodd/Studio 1/Duke Reid/Treasure Isle/King Stitt/Machukie/King Sporty/Ect Ect!!

escargué con ARES se llama "reggae - the story of jamaican music (bbc documentary)"...I downloaded with Ares it's called "reggae - the story of jamaican music (bbc documentary)" it's very interesting and well done. Peace

[elkrobber]

Is it just me that finds the subtitilng at the begining patronising? He's jamaican, but he's speaking easily understandable english.

Some nice guitar playing from Ernest though =)

[Widmerpool99]

It does look patronising, elkrobber. But remember, Trainspotting had to be subtitled in some parts of the US. Says more about the viewers than the guys on the screen.

[taildragger53]

@elkrobber True, he's speaking better English than most Londoners do today.

[mademepickaname]

Isn't it a Wes Montgomery style Gibson L-5?

[Pogoo6]

i think its from the documentary Reggae - The Story of Jamaican Music!

[wardob1900]
