I’ve heard a few stories over the years but can’t be sure myself, one was that Reggae came from a song by Toots called Do the Reggay,

[@Millwall77]

I dont know if its where it came from but its supposed to be the first song using the word in the lyrics. That's what I have read anyway.

[@rogerpeachey2212]

Toots Hibbert invented the word reggae.

[@Reggi_Sample]

He was the first, it came from the word streggae which meant rough

[@124354356435643]

Bring back the Skins!

[@a.champagne6238]

The skinheads of 1969 created their own culture. Do likewise and create yours.

[@Millwall77]

We never left. The skinhead culture is pretty much alive although things have evolved of course.

[@amadeurosenbergofficial7990]

Can anyone tell me the opening music title and singer ??

[@ustheserfs]

one may be able to offer a synopsis of what reggae is but it remains undefinable as far how it makes me feel.

[@johnthemainguy9059]

Ok, but where did the word Reggae come from?

[@johnthemainguy9059]

@stevenevents Ah, thank you! I suspected something along those lines.

[@Millwall77]

Bunny Lee has stated that 'streggae' was it first name which is slang for a (sexually) loose woman but they thought it wouldnt catch on so they shortened it. Dont know how true it is but I heard it in a french documentary in the 90's, got it on VHS in my collection.

[@HectorKynes-j7e]

Jamaica

[@Reggi_Sample]

The Maytals were the first to use the word Reggae in music

[@juniorh9238]

@steven.events Hahaha. Where did you get THAT from?! Bwoy, you funny.

[@ElCoyoteEmplumado]

Anyone know the intro song?

[@ClayMoonandSun]

Babylon Falling - The Heptones

[@MrDubmaster]

You guys always tell about a quarter of the story with about a quarter of it being accurate. Sound Systems started out in the 1940s and 50s - not the 60s. Ska was an evolution of R&B not Mento. Mento was Jamaican Calypso, the Sound Systems were playing US R&B not Mento. So much inaccuracy that this pretty little video becomes quite meaningless. Do try a little harder please. 😂

[@eddiebhoy1973]

song title of first song plz

[@thikhathalithinatsquared3875]

You can’t talk about the early history of Reggae and not mention the name of Peter Tosh. I mean you can’t mention Bob Marley a d forget to mention the person who taught him the guitar🎸 . That was gross ignorance by the compiler of the documentary.🚮

[@fabriciotonelli5396]

Old fake news. Peter didnt teach guitar to Bob. Just a gossip from roger stephens

[@kimrandom176]

Relax buddy, it's only a 3min summary of Reggae's history. There're a lot of important people who weren't mentioned... And all that thing about Peter being the one teaching Bob to play guitar is just an urban legend.

3:10 Ragga never existed. Just a stupid UK phrase for Dancehall!

[@HectorKynes-j7e]

ragga💀

[@Reggi_Sample]

False Ragga can be Jungle with 80s-90s dancehall vocals on top created in the UK Or Ragga can just be short for Raggamuffin - anything rough and antiestablishment

[@ky4516]

American R&B huh? Can yall do anything without mimicking black Americans?

[@Kemetblack90]

Everybody uses Black American Music as inspiration to get started on anything they do.

[@WORKSbaby]

Facts

[@TheLadyjayUK]

Who are u man eedyat

[@WORKSbaby]

Black Americans made reggae

[@sioul8485]

no they didnt

[@WORKSbaby]

@ yes we did

[@serene1275]

​@@WORKSbaby Lies. I grew up here and only remember it was RnB, Blues, Pop music, Hip Hop, Neo Soul, Punk music (from Detroit a black band), Country music. Yes, Black Americans crested the latter because I actually studied the history of music unlike a few people claiming created whatever music.

[@WORKSbaby]

@@serene1275 you need to add way more to that short list nonetheless you didn’t do enough studying because the creators of reggae said they made it off Motown music remixes so did we make it no but it is a subculture of Motown

[@WORKSbaby]

@ also just because you grew up here so what so did white people you don’t have aunts uncles grandmothers etc you don’t really know shit ppl think we come out the womb gang banging slappin hoes no we don’t even really come from that niggas chose to do it mind you the carribean and Africa commit more crimes than us but tlk so much shit
