I know Copeland very well. I was able to be his assistant when The Third World Band was given the "Sense Of Purpose" Tour by Epic Records. Copeland is such a stellar person and he always uplifted everyone around him. A legend! A visionary! A gentleman! I salute you Copie! I love you dearly! Respect! ❤
Fullest respect, deep appreciation and gratitude to and for Copeland . One of the few I trust when it comes to knowledge of beautiful Reggae and its phenomenal artists such as the excellent one Peter Tosh, one of the best of the best. ❤💛💚🖤
Here is tĥe authentic Jamaican music/ reggae historian. Along with your experiences and exposure, you are in an undeniable position, where you can effect the reggae narrative as it relates to the country of Jamaica, where the music was originated.
I heard about this guy before, but I never met him in person. I realized that everyone is trying to be the first about, reggae music. Which it just started in the late 1960s, but the original Jamaican music fraternity is mento and. All the other music came from mento and, it is around for hundreds of years. Any Jamaican that is old enough will tell you, that the man who started the searching for Jamaican singers is. A man named Vere John opportunities show long before this guy was born,where he found the wailers, John Holt, Alton Ellis, Millie Small, Dobby Dobson, Derrick Morgan, just to mentioned a few of the names them. I knew him in the 1960s,he is the foundation member of the Jamaican music fraternity. Also the very first Jamaican who recommended a song was Harry Belanfonte songs,I remembered as a schoolboy. They used his songs in dancing classes,it was called folks songs.Man like Duke Ried is the 1950s playing sound system,I was a boy in the 1950s. There is a lot of elderly people like Joe Higgs from Trench town, also Joe Gibbs who was a producer, Prince Buster, Coxene. Reggae music is very young comparing to ska, rockstead, reggae music only came in 1968. There is a lot of controversies about who first and, from my understanding. Because I was old enough to know about music in 1968, when Larry Marshall did a song named Narry Goat 🐐 version. I heard that he went by Coxene and,he asked him to do the song. Because the person who was supposed to do it, didn't turned up. So Larry Marshall did the song in 1968 and,it was credited to him as the very first reggae song. I useto lived near to King 👑 Tubbys studio and sound system, so I know a lot of singers. Anyway the foundation member of the modern music fraternity in Jamaica,is Vere John opportunities show. I useto listened to him on RJR radio station 🚉,he died in 1966 same year Hail Selassie came to Jamaica. A house cannot built without a foundation, but a lot of credit should go to Vere John opportunities show, Harry Belanfonte songs. Vere John opportunities show is doing music from 1924 in New York City promoting music, and returned to Jamaica in 1939. Before a lot of them was born and, he started recruiting people to sing. Then Duke Ried also Coxene useto competed, for singers. I remembered the days when Derrick Morgan and Prince Buster in the 1960s, having their musical wars. That the pm Hugh Shearer called up both of them and asked,both of them to stop it. They were the most popular singers in Jamaica, during those days I remember those days in the 1960s.
Add Carlos Malcolm and Lynn Tait to the mix. The problem is that Jamaican people don't write enough books and tell their own story. Vere John is a name not even mentioned at all. "Jamaican music didn't start with Bob Marley..CHO!"
@ColtanFree Man like Carl Malcolm just started to sing the other day, as I said before. That any Jamaican singers and they are not telling you about Vere John does not know what the hell that they are talking about, or they are young singers. Who wasn't born as yet to know about the history of the Jamaican music fraternity, because when Bob Marley was alive. He was not popular in Jamaica at all, like John Holt, Toots and the Maytals, Derrick Morgan, Prince Buster the king 👑,Delroy Wilson, Gregory Issacs, just to mention a few of them. It is since Bob Marley death Most of Jamaican people started to recognized him, it is only ghetto people them respect him also Peter Tosh. Benny Waller was given more respect than both of them, my mother lives in Trench Town before the Wailers was born. If you want to know some good information about the history of the Jamaican music fraternity, then you talk to man like Boris Gardner. Also when it comes to sound system in Jamaica, Duke Reid have music when Coxene was a young boy. From in the 1950s when my mother married in 1964,it was Duke Reid sound system played at her wedding reception. I wrote a comment and a certain singer took me on , he is about 4 years older than me. He took me on talking a lot of trash 🗑️I told him, that I born come see my uncle playing into a band . Long before he was born and him could be my uncle son, and he played instruments. Like 🪕 banjos and guitar 🎸 and is mento he was playing, before ska, rock steady and reggae came in. It is not everything you hear some of those people talking is true, especially the younger generation them. They does not know what the hell that they are talking about, if you asked some of them. In 1962 august 6 th independence where were you and also, who sing the song for the celebration 🎉🎊 and he cannot tell you nothing about Derrick Morgan forward March. It does not make any sense talking to him, because that person is wasting your time. Because he is not telling you about one of the foundation member, man like Roy Shirley, Desmond Decker and the aces. Justin Hinds, Larry Marshall, in the 1960s singers, Alton Ellis, from in the 1954 singer. He was named king 👑 of ska , and Desmond Decker was also named king 👑 of rock steady, before they gave Bob Marley King 👑 of reggae. A lot of the foundation members names is not mentioned, even Jimmy Cliff is around a very long time from in the 1960s.
Thank you so much for this! Both of you are great at your job! Mr. Forbes, thank you for sharing these stories! I want to know so much more about Peter Tosh! I will get your book!
The interviewer should have just let him flow for x-amount of hours. Then he would've at least captured ALL the knowledge and ALL of these gems for posterity. He could then break them down into multiple parts and release it as a series.
I know your arms were tired! Lol you should invest in those rhode square wireless mics! Lol one for you and the guest! Clips right on the shirt 😊! Once again, you are great! You don’t interrupt their thoughts!
Breathtaking - met him on a tour with Marcia in Switzerland - him balance it out - thanks 745 for highlighting such crucial personalities in reggae history
Here is a man that was there and an active participant and people with reports of third- and fourth-hand opinions are berating what he says. The truth is an offence.
I RESPECT YOUR KNOWLEDGE , AS YÖU SAİD NÖ NÖBODY KNÖWS EVERYTHING.. SO MUSIC IS ONE MOST CORRUPTED BUSINESS ..SO THEY MANIPULATED ..... MONEY RUN..PETER and BUNNY know more things than you think...Bob was Chris Blackwell favorite ..Bunny and Peter looking through him..there a lot thing about the broke up on youtube from Peter..
52:00 Judy Mowatt has claimed that she saw the stigmata in Haile Selassie’s hand. I wish Copeland spoke on that. Was Judy lying, embellishing or was it true? Did Copeland see stigmata?
What a brilliant interview. 🙏🏾💯🇯🇲🔥

The interviewer should have just let him flow for x-amount of hours. Then he would've at least captured ALL the knowledge and ALL of these gems for posterity. He could then break them down into multiple parts and release it as a series.
Copeland has so many stories, it would take days, not hours to capture all of his knowledge! There is a part 2 coming up! 👊🏽

PETER TOSH MUSIC WAKE UP THE SLUMBERING MENTALITIES OF MEN 🚹 WOMEN 🚺 BOYS AND GIRLS 👭
Here is a man that was there and an active participant and people with reports of third- and fourth-hand opinions are berating what he says. The truth is an offence.
Hurry n do a next interview, was he at Bob funeral? 1981

SO MUSIC IS ONE MOST CORRUPTED BUSINESS ..SO THEY MANIPULATED .....

52:00 Judy Mowatt has claimed that she saw the stigmata in Haile Selassie’s hand. I wish Copeland spoke on that.
Was Judy lying, embellishing or was it true? Did Copeland see stigmata?
No. That was Rita Marley who made the statement.
@@writtenbyraymildo8557 NO! Clearly you have it seen the Judy Mowatt interview of her speaking about the experience. It is not hearsay.
@@BushaBandulu you are totally mistaken. RIta had witnessed it. Not Judy Mowatt.
@@writtenbyraymildo8557 Judy stated that...CHO!
@@ColtanFree Watch the Marley documentary.
Copeland on second thought yuh full of 30 day shit😮
Put your book in riverton city dump
