Fantastic. This movie played at a film festival in New Zealand about 2 years ago. The soundtrack was availble at the counter. I saw the movie and have the soundtrack. F A N T A S T I C. Is this available on dvd/bluray? 10 out of 10. This is how it all started. One of the must see music movies of all times. My favourite track is "Shanty Town (007). Thank you Mr Desmond Dekker. Thank you very much.

"Here's the room that I first made love to Bob." Did we really need to know that piece of information?

[Cowplunk]

I just saw this doc on Netflix, and was a bit disappointed. The music is great, the cinematography is great, the people are great, Jamaica is great, but Rocksteady is discussed more as a footnote to reggae history than a distinct musical form. Also, the editing is lousy.

The stuff about Bob Marley, who played such a minor role in this scene, wasn't too annoying. The movie is mostly focused on telling the stories of the people behind the music, and his wife is one of those people.

[inserter400]

Help I am looking for any track by Silver he was a rocksteady singer

[lamaiestrachol]

un excelente documental, donde se da a conocer bien la ideoliga y religion del rastafari y por supuesto la creacion del reggae... de lujo!!!

[funkypope]

Love rocksteady music, but I don't need to know where The Waling Wailer's singer Bob Marley had sex.

[edinho420]

Just watched it!

Awesome documentary!

[marblesareblack]

Got my CD and DVD the other week, this Aussie is doin tha Rocksteady ..Rocksteady is just too deadlyyyyy .. :)

[daughterofthesoil]

"This is the room where I first made love to Bob" What the heck? What has that got to do with anything?

[sapeca2]

@daughterofthesoil Rocksteady was about love and when there was no money, people performed for the love and they made lots of love too. You have to blame the producers for that clip.

[daughterofthesoil]

@sapeca2 Thanks for the insight, when you put it like that I certainly see the relevance.

[dealdesign0001]

Nice video, "reggaelinx website" has the best collection of reggae videos if you are into reggae music.

[GROZNAYA]

i am wondering how this all relates to rocksteady the hybrid rhino man from tmnt.

[azmanntoz]

@GROZNAYA lol..nothing at all. Just like how beebop has nothing to do with jazz and the turtles nothing with renaissance artists.

[LaaaMaZ]

who is singing the song"the rock steady" ? lyrics are going like" rock steady b girl, is just.....the rock steady b girl is just afficent, its has a beat to move your feet" "the orck steady bip girl has the power" ?? some one? and this other song like same era "baby come back to me? "yea yea any day now, oh yeah yea I can see you darling even when Im dreaming I need you, I need you yes I do"?

[liverpool98fc]

wat the name of the song from 1:01-1:08 ??

[rmapabr]

The narrator as far as I remember was Stranger Cole who we see at the beginning and throughout the documentry. Fantastic to hear the sounds I grew on bursting outa some massive load speakers. And to see all these great pioneers still alive looking and sounding good.

Wish I could get the Rocksteady documentary and the reunion concert to purchase. any ideas??

Song at 1:47 is "People Rocksteady" by Leroy Sibbles

Originally by "The Uniques" (I think...there may be even more original than that tho)

[rekin94bless]

someone who watched this film, maybe you know what name is the song about Train, train is too late, but we road to zion... i don;t remember ...;/

[razzza]

@rekin94bless Stop That Train by Keith and Tex

But in the movie they take that version and get U-Roy to toast over it

The U-Roy version is on the soundtrack for the film.
