Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd interview on Jamaican TV (1991)

[@gilbertfrancis2837]

Thanks For this recording. Sir Coxone was a true musical legend. I wish I was born closer to when he just started. I still listen studio one tracks today 2020. Thanks to Ian boyne. RIP to them both.

Great move to record this! Thanks for the upload!

[@deelee177]

He's the best!!!!

[@56postoffice]

He produced some of the greatest riddims in Jamaican music history, but I'll say "Real Rock" was his magnum opus. And the fact he always followed the Rastafarian movement since the early 60s, also helped his dominance over all the other producers including his nearest rivals, Arthur "Duke" Reid and Prince Buster.

[@bobcosmic]

It was Prince Buster that opened the door for Rastafarians in the recording studio and not Mr Dodd. Mr Dodd was an ardent jazz lover at heart. Don't take my word for it do your own research !

[@DonTheking]

@@bobcosmic and plus, he wasn’t really a fan of conscious lyrics being recorded over his productions. He would mostly prefer to record songs to keep people dancing than to record conscious songs

[@reggaefilms]

nice you took the time to record this, i used to do the same but always get the same screen flicker, you need a 3CCD camera to get rid of this i discovered. Thanks 4 sharing

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it ! Big up

[@truthhitman7473]

Coxsone Dodd ripped off the Wailers and a lot of other black artist in Jamaica. How comes it had to take a white man to treat them better ? Are you telling me Dodd didn't know about slavery and black history ? So then why did he do that to his own people ???

[@yaadmanvibe]

@@truthhitman7473 Inspite of his shortcomings, Ken Boothe and Marcia Griffiths have forgiven him and grateful for the opportunity he gave them to be where they are today.

[@truthhitman7473]

@@yaadmanvibe It was a white man name Chris Blackwell who gave them the opportunity to be where they are today. Chris, the same white man who paid for Bob Marley's mother's house. Where was Coxsone Dodd or the other rich black producers ? Dem too TEEF !

Good stuff, thanks!!!

[@MattsYoutubeChannel]

Pretty much agrees with what I think of dancehall...no comparison to the oldies

[@jerryrawlings8885]

If you read his wikipedia they only wrote about 5 paragraphs considering what he brought to music how many artists his music influenced the different genres it spawned it's a total disrespect.

He created Ska music rock steady reggae dance hall

[@chuckemeade]

He didn't create them the musicians did and artists did.

Terrible interviewer: constantly interrupting Mr. Dodd. Unfortunately, that type of interviewing is very common nowadays.
