I was dating a Caribbean English woman once, and she immediately assumed my grasp of reggae was the usual white guy's Bob Marley playlist. When I played her this in the morning she went "how the Hell do you know this track? My mum used to play this in the morning when I was a little girl in pigtails in Notting Hill..." Thanks Joe Strummer and the Clash, for giving me an avenue into good things.

Hardly anyone mentions the true genius behind this song. The great Lee (Scratch) Perry

[@dreadINAbabylon]

Scratch was a paragon figure on the development of reggae. His influence cannot be overestimated.

[@isty4491]

Dub Organizer Supreme, The Original Upsetter, Grand-Daddy of them all Im so glad i went to a gig he held in my hometown in UK, i was really struggling with depression then (im guessing 7/8 years ago), but i forced myself to go and it was of course awesome Pretty sure it helped fight my depression too Much love to Mr Perry, he is missed ❤

[@dreadINAbabylon]

@@isty4491 Scratch battled depression and seemed to suffer from a host of mental issues most of his adult life. Musical collaborators during his Black Ark days of the 1970s--many of whom are still alive--all alluded to his "unbalanced" genius. It came to a head when he burnt down the BA in a what can only be described as a pique of madness. While remaining a major musical force with much more sophisticated equipment till the end of his days, that early magic of his home-made backyard Black Ark studio was never again recreated.

[@isty4491]

@@dreadINAbabylon I admit i knew some of this, but not all of it, i really appreciate you sharing it with us I guess we all carry burdens, and im fairly certain he knew that he made other peoples burdens lighter Its just a shame we didnt do the same for him, or maybe we did with out applause Great man, sorely missed

[@dreadINAbabylon]

@@isty4491He deeply loved his fans all over the world and appreciated the applause. He was a well-known extrovert so he was never a shrinking violet! Those many Black Ark cuts from the 1970s are unequalled to this day. Even in this track, you can hear that "spongy" sound for which Scratch and the Black Ark were justifiably famous. A really unique individual whose like we'll not see again.
