Who the F+++ are Madness???? If only more people would listen to the roots!!

[hirofan]

@linedriver1

Madness was one of several popular ska

bands in the late seventies from the 2-Tone label

in England. Thanks to groups like The Specials,

The Selecter, and Madness more reggae fans

were born. :)

[preem7]

@linedriver1 Settle down my friend!!! Read what the man said!!!

[nickyRtgcel]

[MyCOTTRELL]

This reminded me of when I was a little boy living at three seven street in Kingston 12 and attending boy’s town school, as a youth back then I was so happy growing up in Kingston 12.

Hello. We are a new Reggae/Rock band from Miami named HYLLUS trying to be heard. We have many different influences and strive to create a new sound. Check us out for a new groove.

[VROOT66]

This first song is called "Independence Ska" by Baba Brooks.

[elcavernario82]

[bgee4]

Baba brooks on the horn. Derrick Morgan singing

[dukesteveduke]

Anyone in UK know if I can get hold of the 2002 BBC2 documentary called "The Story of Reggae"? I think it's the one which had Steve Barrow's brilliant CD set to go with it.

[polacab]

can any1 advice me bands to hear from old ska plz?now i start to hear this kind of music and i like it!

[02madre]

try desmond dekker, prince buster, toots and the maytals, and laurel aitkin. ska from england in the 70's and 80's-

the specials, madness.

[Valizan]

@polacab Old Byron Lee & The Dragonaires is a good start. But look for Ska collections. There are a LOT of them.

[Devie141]

Excellent tribute.... Thanks for posting

[TheRickynow]

That really is brilliant!!!

[tuktukskagal]

early jamaican ska is the best music out there.

[RudeBoyOfTheBlock]

I only heard one ska band i didnt like; Reel Big Fish. I hate sell outs

[justjazz46931]

Ugh... I hated Reel Big Fish

[wizardnuts]

they werent sell outs... they always sucked

[RudeBoyOfTheBlock]

Their first album was good. But they were never a really good ska band

[1950sEntertainment]

5:28 - 5:42 was such a sad story.

[AniTabOngtOke]

ROck STeaDy BaBY ! HoW LoWW CaN YoU GooOoooOo?

SkA'D 4 liFe!

[nfn4]

whats the name of the song and artist at 2:31 i really luve this song.

[rickyuno234]

Derrick Morgan-The Hop

[justjazz46931]

Derrick Morgan- The Hop

Look in the info box, there are a list of the songs that were used in the video.

[level2789]

This is a really great video but what is up with the random subtitles throughout? Is this a rough cut scene for an unfinished film that will have narration over it? If so I want to see this movie. Someone needs to make a documentary about the history of this music with interviews with some of the originators before they are all gone.

[BovineLummox1]

The video is taken from Thee BBC Documentary The Story of Reggae. It has great interviews with the great musicians and essentially maps out the progression of Jamaican music, starting with Jamaican independence. It goes through ska, sound systems, rocksteady, the rise in rude boys, UK ska, versions and dub, reggae as a rasta movement and so on, up to today. Really great documentary I suggest everyone to watch.

[hantori]

Going by the info the song is Prince Buster-Don't Throw Stones

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

The song at 5:46, what is IT? please if anyone knows the name of the song or artist, please let me know.

[hantori]

Prince Buster-Don't Throw Stones

[hombreelastico]

It's an old song (originally in bolero rhythm) from the Spanish-speaking Caribbean called "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" - often sung in English and retitled "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps". I've heard loads of indifferent versions but this one's quite good. As for the Artist here, I've no idea.

[MeLaSSa23]

freeeeeeeee Jamaica

[RASPUTIN20071]

i agree with the comment about this music being infectious,i love it,ive listened to it for30 years and still getting shocks from classics ive never heard,i cant get into much after the seventies i dont listen to any of it ,its the old rootsy stuff for me like.regarding the skinhead thing,would i be right in thinking the original skinheads were jamaican,bob mentions the crazy baldheads.i went to see desmond decker twice in newcastle he has a massive white skinhead following,

[miteyd]

Frillar is right about the Skinheads. Racist skins are just an offshoot of the originals.

[mixturemax]

Anyone Knows Where I Can Download These Musics? Please Post Link, Thanks Much!

[PeckhamExile]

Can anyone tell me the name of that first track?...i love that sound

[itzray4ok]

hey why cant skinnheads listen, it was for us and as previous posters have said INFECTIOUS. total classic

[BigBlackWolf89]

I cant believe skin heads used to listen to this music

[castboy84]

they did listen a skin head ragge)

[sangfroid898]

I can't believe you searched for this video and type of music if you don't like it. Then if that wasn't enough you have to post a remark that momentarily takes away other peoples enjoyment. If you don't like it... just turn it off. I say momentarily because as soon as I hear this I can't help but smile :D

[cunthooks657]

we still do listen to the tunes....

[RASPUTIN20071]

what makes these people tick,jamaican music across the board was class,you cant help but sing along,bit of skanking or just listen to musical genius,me and all my mates grew up with reggae and ska,and my kids and my grand kids love it,

and its still strong in my area in n/e england,if your parties a bit quiet put some dancehall on and the party will take off.

[Frillar]

the skin heads weren't racist at first.

now only some are racist.

there where black skinheads too.

[gawzrocks]

Yesssss, this video is the shit.

[nickdaring]

5:45 is Prince Buster's "Rude, rude, rudee" which is a cover of "Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" aka "Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps"

Cool stuff.

[paddyhyland]

hypnotic footage and an absolute joy to the ears. The title say's it all ska special, great posting thanks for sharing it...

[madmacska]

abs superb realy great,thank you for posting.

[Drogyne]

Every time I see pics of Don D., I still see him working that trombone glide in his backyard next door. Jamaica crashed when the kings of Drum an' Bass moved across the Pond...The filthy dreck of dancehall now blights the country. Now, there is noone who can blow with the virtuousity of Roland Alphonso. No one to pound a wicked high hat like Adrian Lye-Fook. The music sailed out of Kingston Harbour for good...

East Kingston Gyal

[Ealsonspite]

i love ska, the only kind of music that does not give any unwanted emontions when having bad times, you just listen to it, relax and enjoy.

[Marleyites]

Big ups to this video! Rude rude rudie.

Outstanding all around. Thanks & praises!

Rastafari!

[PrinceAndrew100]

[Greggo2]

This music is fantastic. Love that backbeat.

[romonesroots]

ducaralho!

[CityYoungGuns]

I've found out that Neville Staple of The Specials is publishing his biography - called "Original Rude Boy". You can reserve a copy on Amazon or the Waterstone's website. Apparently, Aurum Press is the UK publishers. My mole tells me there's some steamy stuff in it.

[puck4]

Great!!!!

[wzl82]

This is FABULOUS! it cuts across many ska eras. I'd like to hear who it is right at the end ...is it Desmond Dekker ?? anyway.. at the 4:28 minute point it's Robbie Shakespeare ( of Sly & Robbie fame) playing an upright bass . those 5 seconds are worth the whole show. - this is great. Is that Little Millie small at: 8:03 ??? also the original BMW with bob with a short afro style hair in a jacket and tie....awesome!

[einenrauchen]

Sensational video!

[RAWNLEY]

FANTASTIC!

[SulivanCourt]
