Behind the scenes at Ring Ding with Miss Lou

Ring Ding which began in 1968, airing on the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) and which continued until 1980 was hosted by the redoubtable Miss Lou (Louise Bennett-Coverley) and was one of the first of its kind produced locally. This is a behind-the-scenes look at that iconic program.

OMG! They have this here on You Tube. I used to get up every Saturday morning to watch this. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

[@blakbeltjonez]

my God! .... i never thought i'd live to see the day any old Ring Ding footage ever came to light. i am completely blown away, supposedly everything at JBC-TV was taped over in the early 80's. my brother was on one of the episodes in the mid-70's that didn't make it to air, for whatever reason... absolutely unbelievable - great job, NLJ!

I was on several taping and one performance in I think 1976 I remember my cousin, my friends a I dance to the song Do it anyway you want. I remember being in the audience watching Junior Tucker perform. I wish I could see those tape to see myself as a little girl. I remember going to Jamaica house because they held a show on the lawn. Ms Lou had patience, she would interact and hugs us and yes clap us on even if the performance we not that great. I remember walking on the street a couple times after my performance and people said a you mi see pon ring ding. Priceless childhood memories.

[@renaebruce-miller]

Hello, who do I speak to about being able to use this clip ?

[@ForIverEmpress]

Jewel

[@dondixon1429]

Do anyone know what became of these tapes, They were left at the old building where JBC used to be and most of these and other important tapes got stolen or destroyed.

[@omalone1169]

don dixon someone asked when carolyn cooper came over last week and yes , just like the A force ? Probably taped over forever obliterating our history

[@sealie15]

Who remember the exact lyrics of Ring Ding? I can't make out what's saying in this footage.

[@SunnieDae1]

The posh commentary annoys me... Ms Lou's GREAT!

[@adrianbennett9875]

You know I grew up in the nineties and the reason why this iconic program ended was because of politics believe it or not.

[@WaynePryce]

These kids are all 50 plus now

[@WaynePryce]

@Da Royal General I only know because I jus turned 50 living in Boston. I left Jamaica in 78
