Genius is the right word to describe this man. He is tuned differently. He is like a radio that can pick up certain frequency that other cannot

You are spot on ,...he is a true genius,.. .he is to me a mirror image of the might of the trinity, (.. in spiritual terms ),...an absolutely, incredible inspiration!!!

"To me what reggae mean, it interpret a dog that has a piece of cloth, tearing it up together. Have you ever seen a dog do that? That is reggae. It's not going to stop until it tear up the piece. So it's revolution, it's war!"

What a man just listen to his early recordings from 1973 to 1975 at the black ark studio What a man 😊

RIP legend and thank you for the tons of music

The one and only madman ❤️

One of Jamaica 🇯🇲 greatest gone but not forgotten.

I want to challenge the writer of the script in the documentary on one point. When Perry made a little money and bought a bigger house for his family, it was in a modest neighborhood, Washington Gardens, which is not in the hills above Kingston, as stated in the video.. Any one can search and view the documentary on KZread about one of Perry's protoges, Junior Delgado, where he takes us on a drive to Perry's house at #5 Cardiff Crescent, Washington Gardens, with no hills or mansions in sight. It was not the heart of the ghetto, but it was also not a rich neighborhood. If you think Marley defied convention by living uptown at Hope Road, an actual rich area, imagine the scandal of Perry staging his revolutionary studio and bizarre paintings and graffiti, in an uptown community! He would have been run out of the neighborhood. Lee was in a neighborhood of fellow sufferers who had scraped their way out of the ghetto to a quasi- middle class area not too far from the actual ghetto. Other than that. Great job. Scratch came , saw and conquered.

This man is a giant. He could never be past tense

These are the people who help put Jamaica on the map, not ''Andrew Foolishness" and people like him. Brilliant works. One love mi boss. ♥ 🇯🇲

This man is a man from Zion church only Zion people can know an recognize this, Perry is a spiritual man

This was an amazing documentary, I learned so many things. Just want to add, though, that the Dub Syndicate stuff in the late 80s was HUGE, and that was his major return in the UK. Time Boom De Devil Dead eg. Massive.

The second deadliest train crash in the history of planet earth happened in Kendal Jamaica , on Sept 1st. 1957. Lee Perry was 20 years at the time and Kendal was his hometown and birthplace. it was miracle he wasn't on board. May seem like a random comment but imagine being from a tiny town out in the country and a train crashes in your town killing 179 people. That is an aspect of his life that very people know about... Wiki post is below: September 1, 1957 - British Jamaica - Apparently because a stopcock in the brake line is accidentally bumped by a coupler, the brakes fail on a heavily loaded 12-car church excursion train returning from Montego Bay to Kingston. The crew fails to detect and act on the problem until the train runs away and derails on a curve at Kendal. Five cars roll into a ditch and two become wedged in a narrow cutting; 179 people are killed and hundreds injured.[94][95]

You're on here spreading falsehoods. Lee Perry was not behind every killer song of reggae in the 70's." The decade of the 70's is considered as the height of classic reggae. Every studio in Kingston was pumping out hits. Lee Perry was one of many and to be honest a lot of sound systems didn't play much of his music in the 70's. By then he was considered washed up by the knowledgeable man in the street.

You made an obviously wrong statement that can't be backed up and throwing out a couple names of artists is just a red herring. You frame your argument like an imbecile ("all those producers stole his music" ) having a conversation with equally pea -sized brain ignoramuses. You're emotional and facts obviously don't matter to you, only what you "feel". Take this opportunity to learn.

It's not a coincidence that these great men had to all be in Jamaica same time. Nature brought them together.

Very great effort mr Scratch, my only idol in my life!

Lee Scratch Perry is the GG Allin of reggae I thought about this for long and I just can't unsee it. I just can't. Both legends in their own way, both really... Out there, they total opposites but at the same time so so similar in many ways. Both didnt give a single, not a single single F about what other thought of them. Praise.

Great documentary for real. I have worked around people who are actors, painting artists and who do sculptures/ physical art that can be viewed by the public and they are so creative that they can seem to be crazy when they explain their art. There minds are on a completely different wavelength to a so called logical 9 - 5 person and they could never work in a office setting wearing a suit n tie .There is definitely a thin line between madness and genius.

Lee Scratch Perry. Unpretentious. Original. Talent must always grow from ordinary unencumbered ideas. Then it is pristine, pure, golden, it weathers storm of time NO matter how assailed by opposite forces. Lee Perry shared his God given gifts that he got from the Church (God's House), and it went on multiplying to benefit millions. By his unselfish taking of Robert Nesta Marley under his tutelage, he set in motion the latter's free flowing unique engine of creation. Lee Perry was the power behind Bob Marley, and Bob went on to share the fruits universally. Great artists. NO wonder they left indelible imprint on humanity. Gave their lives meaningfully, NOT just for spoils of success. When someone opens a door for you, do same, spread 💕 love to others!

Awesome documentary, much thanks and praise! What is the music over the last shot?

This is the most complete documentary of the legend himself, Lee "Scratch" Perry aka The Upsetter, aka Pipecock Jackson He IS a man of pure spirit, his creativity overflowed throughout his life. His goal was not a wordly one, his path was unique and not bound by any system of control. His African roots went deep and lit a fire of productivity few could match. I've been listening to his music since the early 80s, after being introduced to his music by a good friend of mine in Dublin.
