bumboclaat i just stumble upon a gem,, i remenba dem days growing uo in belize when i use to hear my parents play this track all the time in belize,,, tune bad real tune love it hail the i lkj
I've heard this song thousands of times...since I have memory... and it makes me vibe and reflect on life every time! shit that was an awesome groove !! that drummer has got the reggae swing in his blood... despite being white may I add! haha... just joking! LTJ is a true mesiah! (to Black and White people all over the world)
What happened to reggae? If you do a TH-cam search, it seems like reggae died in the 80s. Even the charts in Jamaica don't have reggae music anymore. Too bad. reggaeton is not the same thing.
I would have enjoyed this if it wasn't for the fact that the video is stretched wide. In this clip, LKJ et al look far wider than they all actually are in real life, believe me.
LKJ is powerful and speaks the truth about black injustice and institutionalized racism.
His word stands strong today!!!!!!
This guy was my hero back in the day, now i'm 52 love roots, hey i'm white
I loved this song and guy when i was at school and sadly its still relevant today #blacklivesmatter
So glad I once met Linton - 1993. 76 Stroud Green Rd., London I told him I'd thought he was older (the hat). He laugh!
LKJ you were/are a messiah :) This middle aged white boy,thanks you profusely for being exactly what you are......a GENIUS.....nuff said
i'm seein my fav reggae artist/poet on 29th june with dennis bovell ??????cant wait,been a fan for 25 years...... much love to linton......xx
My dad's tune lets me tell u listen to the words ❤
saw him once in the 80ties, may him live long and prosper...
nice guy.
Best reggae tear-jerker I know. Saw him twice performing: what a presence this man has
I´ve never been into reggae, but LKJ is in a class of his own.
Seen him 4 or 5 times, always worthwhile.
Hasn't aged, man or song. Excellent!
Fantastic Poetry !!! Listen to the words and never disrespect the truth in them and the struggle of black people !! xxx to this day !!xx
saw him life...never will forget...
