Yes. It's about time we start the album Hall of fame: War ina Babylon Bunny: Black Art Man. BTW, each cut on this album deserves its own video. Each song tell a story to which we can relate. Abyssinians: Satta album Uroy: Jah Son of Africa. Yes, he knows how to chat over a song Peter Tosh: Equal Rights Inner Circle: Reggae Thing Etc.
As well as the monumental Burnin' album by the Wailers including Catch A Fire, Heart of the Congos by the Congos, Third World's 96 Degrees In The Shade......

Chris Blackwell was so instrumental in the islands' music being so universal. He may have his detractors, but he cannot be denied in the wider picture.
The music would have made it around the world just like everything else Jamaicans do. It’s not like he did it for free out of the goodness of his heart or love for the music he got filthy rich off it.
@@BlackMartialArtsSociety He is not the only person who got filthy rich off Jamaican music, and it would not have reached so wide without his contribution. Look at Mille Small - My Boy Lollipop . A song that was first recorded by Barbie Gaye in 1956, more of a rockabilly song. If Millie's name was on the label at all, she got nothing, but that song went worldwide - who got that money? Not Millie, not Barbie. Yes, Blackwell got the money, but he saw the potential and put it out there, with people like Coxsone doing the same thing. So many songs I thought were reggae had different roots and I love finding out the originals (like My Boy Lollipop). But those covers led to reggae being more widely known and acknowledged in a form that a majority would listen to and like. This is from a girl who was heavily into dub plates at the age of 10 in the early 70's, but grew up listening to Millie Small version of MBL. So yes, Blackwell became filthy rich, but so did a load of other producers. he led the way, they were quite happy to follow and benefit.

henry kissinger was the most antagonist to jamaica in the seventies
Probably because the neolibs didn't want another socialist country in the Caribbean
How?
4:05 that was surreal in the 1970s it’s a shame how a workers’ union “party” became so tribal 🥲🏴🇯🇲
2 ILL 4 TV join the family
Its stunning how political sick we are in the Caribbean
In the whole Third World.
