  • I believe the spelling of Reggay (with the y) was how Frederick "Toots" Hibbert spelt it on his song. It was the first time "It was written Down" alegedly.

  • Not on this version. If my camera was able to focus, I tried to show here that the spelling was "Reggae" on the record..

  • Nothing like the snap crackle and pop of an old 45rpm and the arm bobbing up and down cus the things are always a tad warped. You just don't get this visual dimension to the recording with a cd player or ipod. The sound may be flawless but we lst something. Thanks for bringing it back

  • Thats what made me become a DJ was watching 45's go 'round, and the arm bob up and down, left and right.

  • @dhampian -maybe not somuch sexually promiscuous than rather "an untidy, slovenly,careless or sloppy dressed woman"

  • @Steamstock Theres got to be video somewhere of people doing that dance back in the day...

  • Reggae first apeared in print in this song, but it was also being used in Kingston, Jamaica as the name of a slower dance and style of rock steady.

    Some Reggae artists didn't like the name 'rock steady' so they started saying 'reggae reggae' and soon everyone was saying it.
