Back in those days, these artists had their own fan club, yet when they came together onstage, the focus was to entertain the crowd, not to compete and strive for one-upmanship and forwards. It was pure love, harmony and togetherness, something our current crop could do well to emulate.

Pure dancehall. The late 70s and into the 80s was the golden age for dancehall. Todays stuff doesnt compare. Respect to the day.

[@davidburton2900]

If only I could travel back in time; I was 3 years old in 1985. Thanks to KZbin, a virtual time machine, I can "live" this experience, repeatedly.

[@anthony_capel]

Pure madness. So much talent on one stage. Crazy.

[@linyenchin6773]

Vintage!! Was Born That Year. My early childhood was ringing with this.

[@ThatGuyTooHigh]

Little John was ridiculous

[@CruzanRastamon]

Iz ah man weh grew up in this era and i look at all de artist weh pass wey. Nitty, Tenah, Demus, and the likes and wonder what would they be like now. Sadly though there's no market for old reggae artist, especially here in the US. Hence why so many come here to try and buss. Funny as i was just talking to Shabba about this a few months back (He lives in the next town from me). We need more labels like VP to dist. some of the veterans & bring them back.

[@pussyclawte]

Yu fi hear when dem di guh a England, pon Saxone and Coxone. Wicked. Cat, Burro, Demus and Hacksaw, session dun!!! Pure niceness.

This is the original free style before RAP and HIP-HOP was invented. The mother of the new school music,the music speaks the truth.

[@obradier]

glad to see big Tenor singing, thanks

[@leecarrera]

@zebiawhite His name is "Joe Lick Shot". He was some what of a dance hall icon back then & was present at all the major dance hall sessions. He was popular for replicating the sounds of various types of firearms with only his voice... sometimes in a comical fashion....Kinda like the Michael Winslow ( The sound effects guy from Police Academy) of the dance hall seen.

[@aestheticsbyjasmine940]

He was so handsome ❤️🇯🇲 rest in peace forever young tenor saw
