You would have a hard time getting smoother than this... wonderful.

Tommy McCook the greatest of all time.

The incomparable Winston Wright on the Organ......Gee his long note are just so sweet,sweet,sweet.

I'm 99% sure that is Winston Grennan (my late husband) on drums. Lloyd Knibbs had gone off on a cruise ship by this time....They were very different drummers... Lots of other familiar faces, many gone now...What a wonderful clip. Thank you for posting!

@buba2mx La voz en off es Mikey Dread, este video pertenece a los documentales "Deep Roots Music" que hizo la BBC en los 80. Son 7 en total e intentan explicar la historia de la música jamaiquina. El de las teclas es Winston Wright, y si la banda se llama Supersonics. Yo tampoco entiendo por que Mikey Dread dice que son los skatalites :S , podriamos preguntarle! tiene un canal en youtube! youtube com / mikige1

Hola a todos ¿Donde encuentro una versión completa de esta magnífica canción?

TxTFamGuy1 - you sent me in the right direction. googleing " professor Geoff Palmer's The forgotten Dissora" explains my mystery. Not the kind of history I was hopeing to have associated with my home town but history none the less. Thank You zephyr9ne

Reggae was slower, and the guitar would have quick chops, or, about as staccato as staccato can get. The slightly faster beat (but slower than ska) and the guitar alternating between long and short 'skanks' are defining characteristics of rocksteady.
