Was blessed to see your grandfather the great Roland Alphonso in action as the leader of the Skatalites in the mid-late 90s at the Majestic in Detroit. I wil never forget his presence and the beautiful, beautiful uplifting music.
I'm 63 and loved ska, rocksteady, reggae all my life. I've grown up with prince buster, the pioneers, the upsetters, toots and the maytals ect... Ect... And yes the skatalites. There are some very good ska bands around today and I have seen many of them. Most are cover bands but still very good.
Pur ,clean and basic. From the first note I'm dancing. Was privileged to see them live many years ago. To me Bob Marley is the Barry Maninlow of Jamaican music. Skatalites are the shit....
Who cares how many people just enjoy it yourself. You kids these days are all about “look at me” “look who I’m listening to”. Geez back in the 80s your kind was called posers. Shut it up and do the ska (for yourself,not anybody else kid.)
@@propaghandi8614 as a pupil in da 70s in snootiest hoods there, it was the commercial re-alignment coupled to the rebirth of ska back then that, accusatorily, you've perfectly described its - uhm - egoism...and here I am at my adopted island, finally!!!!! exhaling, realising this is the ska that oughtta've better fit our noisy backdrop.........................
For REAL but those.of.us who have been blessed to hear them more than than make up for those who missed.out on the GREATEST SKA BAND IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THE SKATALITES.ALL THE PLAYERS OF INSTRUMENTS WERE BOSS. 1LOVE N 1 HEART.
I discovered Ska at 9 years old in 1969 when i went to live in Jamaica and fell in love with it and thanks to youtube I'm able to still listen to this beautiful music🥰❤❤👏👏👏🇬🇧🇯🇲
@@dave110150 like me i heard the memorial album on trojan 40 yrs ago...sadly alot of the skatalites are not the skatalites well they are but not as the formed skatalites of 1964-65
These were the best days and music ever to come out of jamaica those of us that lived back then lived and enjoyed the best jamaica had to offer these youths missed alot.
I hadn't heard that! What is the source? Was it a magazine's ranking or some other professional organization? I'd love to learn more about that. Also, what year was that?

true and the french musette and irish music and the english rock afro beat , japan chiness classical music swing jazz metal hardtek ...... a world of sounds ... the song of the birds
Thanks SO much - I am currently re-obsessed w/ ska & especially the Skatalites - this is easier than changing CDs/records & it leads w/ a great version of Latin Goes Ska - which never fails to make me smile & start skankin'!
timeless treasure ... 2019 makes no exception ... FWI Madinina still dances on the Skatalites beat .... resisting Chlordecone poison sent by French murderers !!!
River Banks Part 1 and 2 .... such absolutely cool music. I have the CD of this double album, has a slightly different cover but all the best tracks from the 60s including Ball of Fire and Black Sunday
Rapidly approaching 50...so i just cut myself a Mohawk again...lol...but it is doubtful whether i shall dye it, as that is too utterly mainstream trendy. These are not the Elmer's glue and DIY dye days! Still fun cutting my hair to Perkele. OI!
Opening track sounds exactly like the old familiar studio cut, not an alternate take or anything, but... where did that electric organ come from?! Is it an overdub? When was that overdub made? Who is playing?

I am non conformist underground music punk rocker 55 years old. This is the only band that is excepted in my work place by everyone. %100 😁
75 years young loved the skatlites first heard them in the 60s, you name them I had most of them , nuff respect ,
THE BEST SKA GROUP EVER BY FAR
nope there was busters all stars and the baba brookes band
Just thinking of how many people have never even heard of the Skatalites and have no idea of the wealth of great music they created
No kidding!

no one was playing ska in 1969 it was reggae ska died out late 65 to ska steady
I discovered the Skatalites (and Ska) later in life but I am so glad I did. I can't say enough about what it has meant to me.
It’s never too late to fall in love with ska
I first came across the Skatelites over 50 years ago and I have never tired of them. Fantastic band

Not many persons know that the band was rated amongst the big bands in the USA and at one time was in the top ten
I hadn't heard that! What is the source? Was it a magazine's ranking or some other professional organization? I'd love to learn more about that. Also, what year was that?
@@tedmorris2345 he must be on about don drummong and being one of the best trombonists

well why are they baba brookes tunes on this
I was so LUCKY in 1990 I saw them Perform in Ventura Ca and they had at least 4 or 5 of the ORIGINAL SKATALITES
Classy Jamaican music, this should be taught in schools to keep our culture alive
instaBlaster
Taught in YOUR Jamaican schools. 99% of the world don’t care about your reggae/ska and don’t care . It’s your Jamaican culture not the worlds.
@@propaghandi8614 In your schools should be taught respect and kindness instead
