[@oppositeoppositer7352]

Your most important interview yet! Level-headed and super accurate. This is the Legend that I-Octane disrespected and said, a who him nobody nuh know him. Pity the fools and send them to school.

[@sherrylue-fung2012]

Wow what a wealth of knowledge! I am learning

[@jucee66]

Teach. This is the first interview I can see you sit back and take-in the history of Jamaica reggae music. You don't of to ask much question you jus sit on listen.

[@mrsupert3562]

Teach I think it’s safe to say that this interview is probably the most riveting and captivating. I decided to watch a little before going to bed, I could not put down the phone until it was finished. Hoping you will be able to get a part 2.

[@ourculture9920]

Totally inspiring This is the Jamaica That evades most of our culture.

[@denarigroove]

Maximum respect to Dr Dennis Howard for his invaluable contribution and immense body of work straight across the board! Definitely a phenomenal!..

[@winstonshaw8395]

Teach dem I saw this interview from a few days back I first declined to watch it because I did have my reservation for Mr Dennis Howard because I was one who did think that he was giving dancehall music a fight when he was making some changes at RJR but after listening to this interview I have to give this man his respect Teach Dem this man his a legend I just hope he has everything documented didn't even know that he was apart of the original IRIE FM management team .continue the great work TEACH DEM.

[@TeachDem]

Happy you decided to watch Sir Winston, he’s a really important figure in our music

Without question, this is the BEST interview yet, and you have done some very interesting and informative interviews in the space, but this took it up a 100 notch. Mr.Dr. Dennis Howard OD. Jamaica needs to give you your star in the reggae hall of fame. Well done sir,well done.

[@SabiArtStory777]

Interesting lession about Mr. Dennis Howard. Big up~uP~UP! Tonight it was a bit special interview, but again we learned a lot & had fun at the same time. Give thanks 🌻✌🏻😎

[@brianmuhammad4988]

It is good to know that there are Jamaicans that are telling the true history of Jamaican, this is how it should be. We should not leave it to foreigners to tell the story, they were not present in those time, another excellent interview TEACH 👏👏

[@oliverkashan]

Bless up Teach. Great Great interview my brother, this man is a walking encyclopedia of our beloved music. The bredrin know the thing and talk the thing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rasbolan716]

Oh so true Mr Howard. My Aunty brought back LPs from England in 77. Labels like Capitol Records, Trojan and many others. I was the selector for the Reggae section, after my Aunt played, the Millie Small, Jim Revees,The Ska,the Calypso, Dean Martin, Sam Cook, Lord Laro etc on the Sterogramm. I am trying to remember where I met you Mr Howard, it was either at JBC or RJR the 70s.

[@happyhapley]

I finally managed to listen to this very important interview this morning, and it was much more than I expected, because many times we know people for one thing without knowing how multi-talented they are. It was great to hear all those names, especially the radio personalities, again. As a teenager, I used to write down the weekly JBC Top 20 or 30 music charts in an exercise book (which I regretfully lost along the way) from around 1979 to 1982. At the end of each year, I would calculate my top 100 and match against JBC's top 100 and the positions would be very close. Following the weekly charts with Barry G allowed me to be familiar with the record labels, producers, artistes and names of the songs and albums. So I understood Dennis Howard's passion when he was working in the JBC library and consuming all that information about the records. I always tell people that I was exposed to many kinds of music growing up in Jamaica. One type of music that was not mentioned in the interview was Classical music instrumentals, that I remember used to be played on Sundays on the radio. Many great things were spoken about in the interview, but a topic that I would've loved to have heard Dr. Howard's views on is a fire that I heard destroyed archive records at JBC around the 1990s. Was there really such a fire? If yes, what records were destroyed and the impact that had on Jamaica's culture, especially music and films, including television shows like Ring Ding.

[@romeo23ja]

It is a really great blessing listening to the great man him self ,, he deserve more than his flowers . Teach you should do a part two 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@deebo9798]

Dennis covers the music business like a rash! Lol What a repository for Jamaican music history; a scholar indeed. This is a must watch for all those who are interested in the history of Jamaican music!

[@apachebadindian]

Great link this teach. This man knows the music inside out....I had the privilege of knowing him personally and had the opportunity to sit in the studio with him when he was on the radio at the JBC on a few occasions. Big up Sir Dennis Howard

[@lloydnorris4690]

Brilliant interview bruv!! 👏🏾👏🏾 I would probably say this is your best and most informative so far. Dennis Howard has contributed greatly to our music and culture….. Thank you sir!! 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏿

[@hughmcdicko]

Great piece of work Teach Dem. Dennis is from my era and the academic history coencides with my reality.

[@stewartjacobs510]

A great friend of mine. This man exposed me to the intellectual side of Reggae Music - his academic approach to our music is phenomenal. I rather like a lecture he presented at the KCOBA Lecture Series he said a new name should be give to the so-called dance hall of today...not Reggae. Dennis continue doing what you do - taking the music to the intellectual highest.

[@george76cameron]

For decades the name DENNIS HOWARD sounded like household name but I must admit I knew so little of this musical erudite! I totally enjoyed the interview from the famous badman dem up and beyond our own music, and telling it like it is! I remember when I first heard Rdddigan on Barry G 2-to-6 super mix! I left my jod and rode the train to Mo-Bay just to hear more Gregory Issacs Private Beach Party, Dennis Brown Olld Man River, Tetrack, just to name a few! Mad mad memories! I don't think you mentioned Cicille Wilson, but any time that librarian was selecting, nothing else could get my attention! Reaspect to the max!💯💯💯🇯🇲

[@JP-dq8vq]

Epic historical reasoning,as a little youth growing up in the 70s there was something special about Sundays , the quiet/calm free feeling hearing those country and western Jim Reeves religious songs. Things was just peaceful.

Experience teaches wisdom - hear the man recount life like a river's spring. This interview had a different flow from most of the others, nah mean - he led, because he really has tons to say. Rope in - how about a stream of KZbin-shorts with him dropping his gems? Give thanks, Teacha, really fulljoyed this one. Dennis Howard, tip my hat, Sir! More of!

[@stransport1716]

Lovely interview 👏🏾👏🏾. Very informative and educational. I remember when he became general manager for RJR and couple DJ’s wasn’t happy like the Riley’s and the Nickos plus others and I was one who believed what they said that he don’t like dancehall. Teach Dem, thanks for clearing it up 😂. Once again another great interview. Keep up the good work

[@kapow3619]

Is just laziness by these artist I agree with you Jamaicas music is at its lowest. A tune hit today n dies by a morning. When you try to teach these artist they try to make you the Villan. The dummy favorite phase "u a fight ghetto youth" Look who's make the money from the music. This is the reason why 90s music is so great and can never stop pull up dance. Today creativity needs proper guidance the direction it's now going in is NEGATIVE/DOWN. Not saying there isn't a few that doing the right but guess what they're not getting the promotion. It's crap that's now being promoted not up lifting unprogresssive waste. Big up Mr. Howard keep promoting progress. Thanks Teach Dem great job as usual nothing less.
