This man has been going on 4eva Fit n still relatively reliable for a good tune

[@oppositeoppositer7352]

Decades in the business. His first song was 1969 that's the early reggae category. He has never fallen off since then. Ballistic affair is one of his early signature tune. Badness no pay was a great message tune to bad boys. Money friend with Baby Wayne is a golden 1992 dancehall classic.

[@shadynation8205]

Leroy. Leroy. Leroy! Do you remember Big Daddy's Club in Spanish Town? It was in the '70s and l was the Bandleader and you had just done 'Ballistic Affair' which became a hit. As the resident band we loved performing with you, and you had a great following which came from your dynamic performance even then. I am still a Bandleader with my own band this time after being very experienced internationally. Happy to know you have kept the positive vibes and all that. Hope you come to my town to re-live some of those great on stage moments. Dennis "Drifter* Walks and Don "Stars" Cornell were our peers. Peter Tosh used to pass through too. All the best from Sarge "Keyboard" Lamey👍🎹👍💯💯💯

Leroy talk up some things

[@Framemih]

Physicalness😂😂😂😂

[@teachtheprof4036]

It means “the quality of being physical” Stop yuh laughing and guh look it up!!!!

[@misterlexx2721]

Unqualified...I guess you are laughing at yourself. There is a difference between " physicality " and " physicalness". Physicality speaks to your physical form . That is how you look. Physicalness speaks to your physical condition. In Leroy's case, he can still jump and dance up a storm on the stage and hence he has " physicalness". Take some time to be informed before posting and laughing . 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@buggytop1969]

Why the minister of Youth an Culture don’t give the man the order of Jamaica before he gone Am so sad she gave Shelly an Shericka the Athlete place give the Don the Order of Jamaica next year Minister Thank You.
