Hey Panmandee I agree with you I consider him along with Lionel Hampton,Joe Turner to be the fathers of a form of music called "Jump Blues" music historians said this musical genre paved the way for all the music you heard in the past and in the modern era.
@panmandee When I was teaching an American Pop Music class at a university back in the '80's & '90's I introduced Louis Jordan as The Grandaddy of R & B...I still stand by this today...The man was a juggernaut!!!
pure hip hop! Even the message behind what he is saying. This is just proof that there is nothing new under the sun. U-Roy is also proof that rappin' is an old black thing come back in a new form! Sometimes it just takes years to name something.
Love this!!!!!!
