Gone Too Soon 😢😢😢😢😢 King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown - Frozen Dub. Long live Dub Master. South Africa loves Ya mon

[@louisp7335]

Great piece. Met Pablo in 1971 at Randys Studios. He was humble and kind then. Loved and Love his music. One of the true innovators in the Reggae genre.

[@ByronMathews-sf9gw]

Yes I agree that he is a great artist however iam a rasta from Washington DC and I saw him in my neighborhood and I tried to greet him and he would not even speak or wave as a rasta that lift a bad taste in my mouth as much as I love his music I really failed some kina way but Jah bless

[@electricreds6415]

He look humble I look into his music thanks for letting me know

[@gregcooks9]

He's the reason I own and play a melodica. Such an inspiration.

[@MikhaelI-r1h]

I too!!! i own and play a Melodica Basso!!! I want to get an Alto someday!!!! JAH bless!!!

[@fredalademerin7626]

Ital Dub. A very impressive early dub release by Augustus Pablo mixed by the great King Tubby

[@markwest9540]

The great man as a young rasta youth I was introduced to this great man in Islington st mary by Theo dread. Lenny Haughton and courtney

[@aldonamarshall8685]

Augustus Pablo is one of the most favorite musicians of my life. I absolutely love his music. Thank you for making this video.

[@kobalt77]

........ Meets Rockers Uptown changed my view of Reggae and music around 1980. i am so glad I discovered this wonderful man's amazing music . Blessings to all .

[@gregoryspevack2263]

His son Addis is keeping the fire burning. I was lucky enough to see him play back in the 80's. It was mystical to say the least. The video of him playing Java with the Soul Syndicate at Japan Splash. It like nothing else, it really captures him

[@christopherstilley7756]

The music of my life in the 70s and 80s His haunting melodies reminded me of time and places mysterious and true.. A sound as at home in the hills of Texas as any place else..

[@TheMightyKingzuru]

He was a Rastafari mystic. Focused, humble, and serious about life.

[@patsiebentley111]

That sums it up , nice of you to call it how it was !

[@MUUTDITTSPOUMN]

It hadn't occurred to me until a decade of listening to his music that I'd never heard him speak. Just looked up an interview the other day. Just to hear him speak. Of course I heard some interesting things but the point is humble checks out.

[@Levi_Natty]

I'm Nigerian, and I love his work called "Nigerian Love" 🤩

[@positive___soul]

Pure genius 💚💛❤️ may he continue to rest in peace 🙏🏽🕊

[@Levi_Natty]

I met his son in traffic, by accident in London. see my comment above...(The latest comment on the video)

This is the foundation of the high Mystical Dub feeling . Listen east of the river Nile in the woods is a spiritual vessel to inner calm..

[@droog28]

I am blessed to have Augustus Pablo's music in my life. Thank you for this video!

[@lioness-kushlumumba4040]

I was absolutely drawn to Augustus' sound and music! Thank you for sharing this incredible history of reggae music and the lives of the artistes!

[@leonramsay21]

Augustus Pablo,a study entirely of a quiet giant. Reggae Appreciation kudos.

[@kenmaykut9461]

That was SICK! Outside of Gregory, Pablo was my biggest influence on me in reggae. I must admit I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! A few suggestions video. I want to see about Dillinger, the scientist, Michigan, and smiley and how third world was the greatest and tightest reggae band ever. Please keep doing this!!! I love it as a true reggae fan.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Blessings ✌️ Thanks for the support and brilliant suggestions. Will do them soon

[@clarencewright9841]

It is very interesting the whole history of our music, the many people involved and the fast pace of its growth, the decade of the 1970s was a wonderful time in reggae growth

[@lars-fenin]

king tubby meets rockers inna fire house is one of my top fave dub albums till today. great player of instruments and top producer!

[@MarcusEye]

No doubt- great album!!!.

[@lascellesdavis492]

Thanks SOOO very much for your erudite research and commentary about the early legends of reggae . Thanks for mentioning Third World and Jacob Miller who I had the privilege of meeting whilst working as a bank clerk in King street- famous Kingston business district. Jacob was not only gifted musician he was a truly wonderful person with great humility and kindness. Such a sad loss at a very young age.

Big Up to Augustus Pablo!!!! One of my favorite albums not mentioned in this video is the excellent "EAST OF THE RIVER NILE" with the great songs "JAH LIGHT" , "MEMORIES OF THE GHETTO" , "AFRICA (1983)" and the most excellent song with crucial drums "ADDIS-A-BABA"!!! Thank you for this video on the underrated Augustus Pablo!!! I own a MELODICA BASSO by HONER, which my Daughter's Mother bought for me years ago because I was so inspired by Augustus Pablo's Irie music!!!! JAH bless, thank you for this video!!!🙂🔥❤💛💚✝✡

[@clarencewright9841]

People listen to cassava piece, Pablo in red and brace a boy, just to get a sample of that rasta man great skill, no joke, serious rasta man, Lee scratch Perry was doing his thing at the same period, early 1970s, changed reggae music forever

[@madhusudan]

Yes! My musical hero, the most mystical and spiritual sound. I still remember buying my fist Pablo album, Earth's Rightful Ruler, in a small local record shop in 1990 as a young teenager. I didn't know anything about him; I was just drawn to the cover. As an instant fan I collected many of his other albums over the following years. Original Rockers 2 - Pablo Meets Mr. Bassie is probably my most favorite, but it's just a personal choice among so many strong releases. How about you guys?

[@zuni1966]

Augustus Pablo is a precious gem, created intemporal musical masterpieces, a mystic, a genius. Not only the melodica King but a overall great keyboard player, a Dub pioneer and a great producer. His music denotes that he was a man of extraordinary good taste and high culture! I love Augustus Pablo music! ❤

[@rickysingh8124]

AMAZING video you have put together. A real fitting tribute to The Legend Augustus Pablo. I thought his father was of oriental origin, did not realise he was of Indian Origin. Respect

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Give thanks for the history of the real Don Pablo. I'm gonna be honest, I barely give his music a listen. But I do appreciate his mystic melodies amongst the most common. Blessed I. Do one on Willie Lindo if you have time

[@thomassparks6966]

Thanks so much you are truly appreciated I love roots reggae

[@clarencewright9841]

Bro Ken, Bob Marley and the Wailers had the greatest and tightest reggae band ever, one of the reason for this is that the drummer and bass player are brothers they actually created reggae music, first they played Ska then changed it to reggae with the song bangerrang by Stranger Cole, the first real reggae song, they are the Barrett brothers, Aston Family man Barrett the great bass player and his brother played drums, wicked combination, they played for Agustus Paplo and many others. Bless up

What an absolutely great video! I have always been a big fan of Augustus Pablo, since I got into reggae music heavily as a teenager. I could always tell that he was a mysterious and private person. So this video did a great job shedding light on someone who I’ve always admired and appreciated and was curious to learn more about. One of the most righteous people to ever walk this earth! ❤️💛💚

[@zurimoore2545]

He,s my favorite inspiration for to playing the melodica too 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🪗🎶🎺🎻🎷🪘🥁🪕🎤

[@JaemanEdwards]

What a legend. Great story and we'll narrated. I remember listening to him on student radio reggae shows in New Zealand. Good to know the history and legacy of this icon. Also I never knew about the Chinese influence in Jamaican music tho I had heard of producer Leslie Kong. I enjoyed this brother. Subscribed

[@rjlohr]

...this has to be the best condensed mini-documentary on Pablo that I've seen yet...excellent. Question: does anybody know whether Pablo is playing the melodica on Big Youth's classic "I Light And I Salvation"?...incredible riddim on that track...

[@allisonrogers3405]

Thank you for another deeply informative video. I look forward to them every time! They are brilliant, entertaining, and very well made. I wonder, however, if it is accurate to say that Augustus Pablo inspired Peter Tosh to play the melodica. Peter was creating tracks on the melodica like "Sun Valley" as far back as 1969. I'd love to know more about this.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Blessings ✌️ Thanks for the support. Pablo's brillance on the melodica was already well known pre his Aquarius break and he had done some session work with the Wailers circa 1967-68.

Hey, bro! I am fascinated by your your research on these legendary artists. Would you be willing to research reggae artist Ras Carby's musical journey in the 70's. Your efforts, I am sure, will be well appreciated by fans.

Your channel is amazing! I hope you can do a video on the producer Everton da Silva, who also recorded with Pablo. He recorded many tunes with Horace Andy. I wonder if he came from Brazil, as his name is really common there. There's not much info on him available on the net. He was murdered in NY in 1979, according to an entry on Discogs.

I was able to see Augustus perform live at Slims nightclub in San Francisco. 1991. It was incredible, but jamb packed, he probably could have sold out a venue double the size. The Club was owned by musician Boz Scaggs, and staged uncountable unannounced acts, David Bowie several times, and Prince joined George Clinton for an aftershow once, It was like a place where musicians could see, and bro out with other musicians
