Word up!..After Bob and the Wailers,Third World we got Steel Pulse..Best Reggae Musicians...Roots Rocking..tight..precise..Reggae 4ever

[@ronaldfinch7420]

One of the very best bands I’ve ever heard in my life.

[@mervynqueeley2106]

One of the best Reggae groups ever. Exceptional.

[@rootsss1]

yea ...¡¡¡¡ la mia tambien¡¡¡¡

[@joshcharlat850]

Absolutely!

[@impoallen4060]

Out of England yeah, they are on the list along with: Black Uhuru, Asward and on and on. There were and are far too many wicked bands, roots whatever for you to make that statement. Oh, and let's not forget Jahmeika! Hello.

[@mervynqueeley2106]

​​@@impoallen4060 I said one of the best ever based on their reputation, actual experience, and the acclaims they have received throughout their years as a band so I stand by what I posted 🤷.

Saw them in concert in Dominica in '82 or '83. It rained cats and dogs that night, and I got drenched to the bone, refusing to move from my spot. Great show that was. Massive fan of their music forever. 💤💣💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🇨🇼🇩🇲🇨🇦

I wonder how many people who listen to this even know where Handsworth is, or what it is like there.

Definitive Brummie Roots - more than stood the test of time... Birmingham has spawned so many music legends it's almost beyond belief.... Stevie Winwood for one!!!! Best Live Reggae Band I've ever seen and seen em a few times in the UK and in Germany.... Marley I saw in Dublin and it seriously bored me to death!

This is so f***ing awesome. The best line-up and one of my fav songs. Forward ever, backward never!

[@lqr824]

This is a crap performance, keys not even in the right key, tempo all over the map. If you think this is awesome I'm going to guess you're not actually a working musician, are you.

[@jcommerce]

RIP Grizzly. 1st four albums were the best but True Democracy and Earth Crisis are right up there.

[@sonysam7]

His performance was revolutionary for music and transgressor

[@sonysam7]

"Handsworth revolution" and "caught you" too

A true innovator and an amazing person to meet, him and Phonso. Happy memories.

"I say: The people of Handsworth Know that one hand wash the other (so they say) So, let's join hands my bredren Make the way for our children (our children, our children) And their children (their children, their children) Ensuring that they get life's fair share of, equality... Doesn't justice stand for all? Doesn't justice stand for all? Doesn't justice stand for all mankind? We find society putting us down Crowning us, crowning us, crowning us, crowning us A place of evil, oh, oh Handsworth means us the black people Handsworth means us the black people We're talking now, speaking Jah Jah language! It's a long, long way we're coming from To send this message across, across Its been hidden, forbidden, concealed, unrevealed Its got to come out In the open that Babylon is falling! Babylon is falling! It was foolish to build it on the sand Handsworth shall stand, firm - like Jah rock - fighting back We once beggars are now choosers, no intention to be losers Striving forward with ambition And if it takes ammunition We rebel in Handsworth revolution Dread town, dread town, dread town Dread town, dread town, dread town Dread we are for a cause, deprived of many things Experienced phoney laws, hatred Babylon brings We know what you got to offer, we know what's going on Don't want no favours, 'cause there is still hunger Innocent convicted, poor wage, hard labour Only Babylon prospers and humble suffer They are brothers in south of Africa One black represent all, all over the world Can't bear it no longer, blessed with the power Of Jah Creator, we will get stronger And we will conquer And forward ever, and backward never Handsworth Revolution...!"✊
