Lloyd Parks and We the People. Many thanks Teach for linking and getting this icon's story documented. Again, this is not an ordinary musician: from his days with Joe Gibbs onwards, Lloyd Parks is one of the pioneers of the sound of our music. Hopefully, our relevant government authorities understand this and give him the recognition that's due.

[@TheSheriffess]

Apart from Leroy Sibbles. Lloyd parks is the best bass player ever!. When I hear him play bass, my waist starts to "tune up". I grew up on his music and my favourite songs are Mafia, Officially and Baby hang up the phone. Listen to those choons, especially the 70's versions and if you love reggae, you will understand how much I love his basslines. Did not know he was the bass player for the album Double Barrell. I still have my late brother's copy and will look for his credit on the album sleeve. I love both his and Lloyd Charmers music Bad. Our classical music. Learned a lot in terms of additional music he contributed to. I hope he knows how much he is loved and how much we appreciate his talents.

[@StephenCAD]

My favorite Jamaican Bassist. Awesome feel and groove. The real sound of reggae. Loved alot of his bass lines and never knew it was him. Respect Mr. Parks... Would be an honor to meet you one day.

[@BM-uv5sl]

[@Simiyalive]

A Lloyd Parks and we de people band mek nuff artist start do rehearsal...cause nuh matter how big u be as an Artist if you come pon stage and dont rehearse him not strumming a chord on his guitar. Saw him do it to Leroy Smart maybe twice

[@rockersmaster5175]

Mr Parks is a real stalwart in the culture, maybe an unsung hero. Like Chronixx says in the second “I am a legend” I’m the percussionist playing with the wailer, my name wasn’t on the front of the paper” Mr Parks embodies that with all the many contributions he made. To play on all the tracks on the Dennis Brown album Inseparable is simply amazing - the entire album wicked.

[@fullcircleforcefcf]

Great program 👍

[@sadiecampbell7170]

Upppp to Mr Parks respect 🙌 all the time.
