Would fulljoy a list of the best DUB engineers, from Tubby's to Scatch to Scientist to Ernest Hoo Kim to Mad Professor who is currently at a lonely heights when it comes to DUB.
You get to hnow as you collect reggae, that the producers and studios have there own sound and way you hear it and that's what's so good, as you can go so many Artists and why of hearing them and in the end that has giveing us the gift of so much and I thank god, jah bliss them all for that
As necessary as it is to give kudos to the producers for helping promote the Jamaican genre, most of these same producers sadly impoverished a great number of Jamaican reggae musicians! As great as the music recordings are, there are not many Jamaican musicians of that era of the 1970's that one can call wealthy today! And the producers cruelly exploited them for decades! Apart from Bob Marley who was phenomenally talented, he was a very small group of musicians who profited from their crafts! And this overshadows the input of all the producers you mentioned in creating reggae music!!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Great stuff. Duke Reid, Bunny Lee. Jo Hookim. Winston Riley....to name a few that are missing. I think your list could have been much longer. But thanks for your efforts, at least somebody cares enough to keep the word alive.
Respect to Coxsonne Dodd for his pioneering work in the development of Jamaican music but I'll always have a special place in my heart for LSP Lee Scratch Perry: The man was a creative Beast. I just dont know where to start in citng his tremendous creative and ingenious work of the 70s primarily and some 80s work......Jah Know..!!!
Excellent video and information, however, other greatest producers are; Duke Reid, Junjo Lawes, Gussie Clarke, Bunny Lee, Jack Ruby, Tappa Zukie, Lloyd 'Bullwackie' Barnes, Niney the observer, Glen Brown, Betram Brown, Sonia Pottinger, Geoffrey Chung, Jah Shaka for representation of the UK roots Scene, Norman Grant and the Twinkle Brothers, Derrick Harriot, Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell of Xterminator, Yabby You, Keith Hudson, Lloyd Coxsone, Prince Buster for bussin the Blue Beat era & The Hoo Kim brothers of Channel 1. RESPECT
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety yes I saw that before now I remember the other producers deserve a spotlight and highlight as well especially Philip Smart as far as New York reggae producers go!
Great content and narration as per usual brother. These Jamaican producers, were all technically proficient, highly intelligent, entrepreneur's. Straight legends of reggae. I used to hear all these artists mentioned, on reggae shows on my local student radio station Bfm. There were two different reggae shows. " The Rythym Selection " played all forms of reggae, but also a bit of funk and hip hop. This DJ was called " Dubhead." Then there was " Stinky Jim, " with his show, " Stinky Grooves " who played all reggae, but an emphasis on dub, and other genres of downbeat. They both played all these producers artists, and always mentioned the Label and producer of each track. Great to see it all in visual form. Kudos to you my man. Putting in work.
Surely Chris Blackwell is the greatest producer in Reggae history. He brought in session musicians that revolutionised Reggae, and made it more accessible to the world. Don't let the fact that he was white, deter you from giving this man his rightful dues.
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety He had a team of engineers that handled all the technical duties, but, along with Bob, he was the one who redefined their sound. He was the one with the vision. He brought in world class session musicians, and always had his hand in the actual sound of the music. " add some Hammond organ here, " " we need a guitar solo there. " Even bringing in a horn section. He along with Bob always had the final say on the finished product. Without Chris Blackwell, reggae would not be the worldwide force it is today. To refer to him as merely an exec, is to ignore the impact this man has made on the genre. He was much more than that.
I love this channel btw! Couldn’t agree more with the order given here just in terms of my own personal preference. I’d love a video just on the subject of how these studios were run where by the studio is almost more important than the artists themselves, it’s possibly quite unique to Jamaica. Gonna go one day. Will do my best not to get in trouble ha ha ha.
Another good story for your content would be to cover the reggae history of my country, New Zealand. We are per capita, one of the biggest reggae consumers in the world. It's part of our identity. Bob Marley and the Wailers, played a legendary 1979 outdoor concert in Auckland NZ, at Western Springs. A legendary venue. From that moment on, reggae was adopted by this country, the Maori people especially.

There's more Niney The Observer, Bunny Lee, the list goes on real authentic reggae music, the golden age of reggae music conquered the world through these above mentioned heroes, making mention of Sonia Potinger, a lady who produced, Joseph Hill of Culture, Cumbolo album, this island is blessed and rich culturally, recreation, sports, national heroes, of freedom small as it is but big in uniqueness, proud of themselves as Jamaicans, drawing all the strength from Mother AFRICA the original birthplace of all human kind.
No disrespect but I think you are conflating the roles of engineers, investors and producers. As far as I know Hookim was mainly an investor who knew who to invest in but was not a producer. King Tubbys was mainly an engineer, one of the best in the business, but not a producer. Jammy's was an engineer and producer. Lee Perry is the master producer of Jamaica, who also manned the engineering desk on his early Black Ark projects. Bunny Lee was another seminal producer and should be on your list. Coxsone Dodd was indeed an investor and producer.
Respect your videos. Always. However, I personally would have included Bunny Lee.
King 👑 tubbys greatest ever rip 🪦 mr Rudduck
Would fulljoy a list of the best DUB engineers, from Tubby's to Scatch to Scientist to Ernest Hoo Kim to Mad Professor who is currently at a lonely heights when it comes to DUB.
Yes do remember them all don't forget the great yabby u.

Bunny Lee is a must
List is spot on!!!! Doesn't get any more accurate than this. Big ups R.A.S
Agreed 👍
Big R.A.S....you have do a label versus label: Trojan vs. Studio One
Lee "Scratch" Perry and his Black Art will always remain the most popular due to the eccentric personality of Mr Perry. A mad genius in his own right.
Yes he was. Great name by the way.
Lee Perry's Number One for me....This guy's life story deserves a full-length movie.That's for sure..😄😄😄😄
What about duke reid
Thanks for this unique narrative.

Hmmm 🤔 food for thought
Thank you for the knowledge, now I have more new music to explore and search
lee parry number one producer to come out of ja seen..r i p the great.
Thank u fo this important piece of information about my favourite genre Reggae music.
Can't argue with the list. I've got a big soft spot for Niney as well though.
If it had been a top ten list he would have been in it
Yes... Winston "Niney" Holness aka The Observer..😁
Bunny Lee should be on this list. I thought he was going to be number one. Tubby was the engineer on a lot of his productions.
totally agree with you
i just needed to read this and now i don't have to watch the video😂
Great stuff. Duke Reid, Bunny Lee. Jo Hookim. Winston Riley....to name a few that are missing. I think your list could have been much longer. But thanks for your efforts, at least somebody cares enough to keep the word alive.
Yabby You was the greatest.
He's getting a deep dive soon👍
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety Great to hear. Can't wait.
Naaaah you have missed Bunny Lee, very very underrated. He almost single handedly ushered in the era of dub
That was well done. Can I make suggestions. Can you do a video on Earl Zero? I love to know more about him.

Great vid! The influence that these legends exerted goes beyond reggae music_ whether people chose to admit or not. Salute bro!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Duke Reid deserve a spot on this list ….great work though list is pretty much accurate
Blessings mon ✌️ It was difficult leaving Duke Reid out. It was either him or Coxsonne Dodd

1)Phillip Smart
2)Dave Kelly
3)Tony Kelly

Nice rundown RAS👍 vert interesting
Stuck in the 90s irie brother, l feel like flying when, they speak about our story, big up to the creators of black story.
We have to put producers in decades..60.70.80..and 90s..SO MANY

I think Family Man should be on this list, from what I’ve read he produced most of The Wailers output during the Island Records tenure…

As an Exec he's the greatest by far but this list is focused on actual studio producers
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety He had a team of engineers that handled all the technical duties, but, along with Bob, he was the one who redefined their sound. He was the one with the vision.
