News. 1 is that there's more to. This media. Runs on. The it was. July 9th. In June 1948 in homage to his impending arrival in Britain Aldrin Roberts began composing lyrics to London is the place for me it's a clip so that eventually became part of the soundtrack chronicling the history of Caribbean migration to Britain after World War 2. The migrants came at the invitation of the British government which was facing a labor shortage due to the destruction caused by the conflict a cruise ship called the Empire when Rush carried almost $500.00 passengers from Jamaica to the u.k. Including Lord Kitchener a calypso singer from Trinidad by chance a local newsreel company filmed him sing in London is the place for me as he got off the ship to live in London that you already come. In there in very. Good. Morning 2 My name is young we're a reggae sound system operator in the u.k. I'm also a d.j. Music producer and some of the historic sub legend just shack up. In this special World Service documentary I'm going to tell you the story of how people like my grandparents in the wind generation literally brought their music with them and how it. Change Britain for ever. When I. Sing it nothing really sure. Before reggae music Caribbean music meant Calypso it was the official soundtrack of black Britain in the 1950 s. And early 1960 s. . I started my journey by talking to composer. Alexander the Great about how the Beatles were influenced by a Calypsonian and how the b.b.c. Played its part in introducing clips of music to be u.k. So it was big in England because came to England and there was work particularly in London and Manchester they seem to be and also but in Liverpool and I'm not going to make the link here and I will stick my neck out when I got to stick my neck it's a well known fact the Beatles were seriously influenced by his name was Lord Woodbine otherwise known as Harold Phillips at the age of 14 he stole his brother's possible and came to Britain and joined the r.a.f. So he was 17 he flew for the back to Trinidad and he came back on the wind rush and he went up to Liverpool way been billeted before and he ran a club called the Jacaranda to which Paul McCartney and John Lennon used to regularly come and he would teach them to play Pan and they would ask you about 7th chords and how to make different moves and all of. A night. It was his life. This. Morning in the fifty's it was so popular it really was really popular that the entertainment industry was worried about rock n roll once Rock Around The Clock and come out and then president came out in $56.00 with this stuff they were worried that the whole of the teenage world of beeps. Seriously corrupted by this new music so he really tried to sell calypso music that wasn't going to make their kids go crazy but it didn't work dynamic and called the. Big game a high commissioner. An interesting thing is the b.b.c. In the 1950 s. In fact late ninety's and into the early sixty's they had a guy called so I grant famous Act In fact it was an r.a.f. Hero had been shot down in Holland he'd spent 2 years as a prisoner of war he went on a show called tonight with Chris Mitchell movies as a news show about 6 o'clock in the evening 6 30 in the evening on b.b.c. Was only b.b.c. One at the time b.b.c. And i.t.v. And he went on and used a roundup of the days of the week's news in a short short clips of. India Bristol Well some of the places you'll be hearing about will see that here 1st of all from high ground and it was very very effective because the great British public there must have been quite a lot of them certainly more than 10000000 who would have watched this show and would have seen this very good looking black with a guitar singing the news. So that's in the British public were introduced right in their living rooms in a way in a way they may never have done unless they went to clubs and things like that so as before and the most of the places would have been the big metropolises you know London and say I just pushed my morning to you know you really. Feel Right now I think between. A. Click some music wasn't just became Britain it was big all over the world according to legend there would be j. David what again a man who fell in love with Jamaica music in the sixty's and still has a reggae music show on the b.b.c. We're here in London at the b.b.c. Headquarters in the u.k. And I'm here with Mr David wrote again how strong an influence was clips of music in the fifty's was very influential and I think we have to point out that. Harry Belafonte was the 1st man to sell a 1000000 records on an album is a Jamaican was born in Holland but reared in Jamaica and then went back to Holland and then eventually made an album of which there was famous songs on there such as we said a miss a day to lighten we want to go home work. Is that. Calypso was very important because the whole essence of Calypso was the fact that these Calypsonian singers were reflecting what was happening in their society be it in Trinidad operators wherever and of course there was collapsing as into makers for. The clips the music brought by my kids to the u.k. Show that there was a market for Caribbean music soon. And record labels will find an artist to bring up to Britain. A perfect example of this was Island Records this label late to sign Bob Marley and 2 tomatoes but their 1st big success was a teenage girl called Millie Small who was brought to Britain by Islands found out Chris Blackwell in 1963. When I was Orenstein he said and I've worked for Trojan records for the last 25 years and I started listening to Jamaican music in the sixty's and joined charging around Actually $0.99 for each time I've stayed with the company as the Jamaica music consultant putting together releases writing books United I've done it the mainstream introduction to Jamaica music in the u.k. Was really my boy lollipop I'm really small she came over from Jamaica in the early sixty's and recorded the track in the u.k. I was amongst the 1st Jamaican Afro Caribbean artists to have commercial success outside of the effort Caribbean community my body public a huge hit and got massive radio airplay was a massive hit number 2 in the u.k. And a big hit all around the world so that this is the entry point for most people of known Afro Caribbean heritage to discover music from the Caribbean. A. Number of Jamaican artists came over in the wake of many small was huge success people like the route is the pyramids number of August and they played a mixture of sky and soul within the u.k. And help spread the whole sound out of Jamaica scar started off from the Jamaican sort of gets high relief came from sound system culture and that was. In the late fifty's early sixty's there were a number of hugely influential Jamaican produces such as to create and coax an adult and they would carry their sound systems around on the back. Trucks around Jamaica playing originally American army on the sound of r. And b. That was most influential or most popular amongst my can audiences was American rhythm and blues with a certain style people like Roscoe Gordon Fats Domino were particularly popular a lot of their records emphasize the backplate and that would develop into scar by the early sixty's. Maybe voting his passion for Jamaican music was sparked as a youngster when he watched many small perform her hit on the Ready Steady Go t.v. Show how did you find very gave me secluded work in music find you which one you found me as a teenager in the summer of 67 I was blown away by this new music from Jamaica which was called ska I'd heard snatches of it in 6465 with blue b. The classic everyone knew because it's a pop Smash which was my boy lollipop for Millie I remember when my father was buying records I saw this the new believe it sound on posters with Laura Lake in what was the 1st reggae record you've got is the 1st record I purchased with the name reggae on it was do the reggae spelled r. e a Y on the big shot label by the mater else I mean I remember the 1st record I bought it was Telstar by the tornadoes and that was I think in 1962 the 1st album was definitely club scar 67 that was the album that if you didn't have that album is like you know what planet were you from and so many people had that album and that album reflected the fever and enthusiasm and passion that everyone had for this music the king of scale music was Prince Bastar legendary record but he said Dennis but for me in the sixty's Prince Buster was out in a big way Prince Foster was like the guard father of talking on Sky One of these pieces where he takes the 10 Commandments rewrites there's quite funny Commandments man. Man she would be inspirational. Words Boston. But. People were back time I think it was this new reggae for it's very much singers like those we're back to it's and tomatoes Jimmy Cliff all these people started surfacing on the new label brought by Chris Blackwell to La and this was his new reggae in England label the record label was called Trojan. Sleeping heads. Remount can be a bit whole oh yeah. Get me many of the Pioneers a black music in the u.k. With the producers working behind the scenes they didn't become famous but quoting to Lawrence came honey set they made them up island started up in the u.k. And not when I came be tried in the basement of what I came to drive it was a little studio and it was the 1st studio it was actually are owned and managed by someone of our Caribbean descent and someone who's been largely overlooked in the history books and his name is Sonny Robinson he went on to foam and manage over time records Sonny was a pioneer and help people such as dandy and the mob elves and a number of u.k. Based Jamaican acts get their music for called it in the late sixty's numerous other producers of Caribbean descent made their mark on the British music same law sheets or trojan records that people like Joe Singh clad as Brian Webster showed up who began their musical apprenticeships working in record shops selling Jamaican music and league up close Music City record shops and they later became in-house produces as a coast a dandy and dandy Livingstone the name Robert Thompson he was the 1st African or being a producer who lived in the u.k. To type reggae into. The main stream went his production of Red Red Wine by Tony tribe the u.k. Charts in the summer of 1969. For Jamaican musicians coming over to England the experience was overwhelming one successful act with David and so Collins who had a huge hit with double barrel. And the Magnificent. I'm shocked it was so. Slow. And. My name is Trouble star guitarist from Kingston Jamaica and I'm a Muppet Dave announcer Collin band and hi hello my name is Dave Barca Ok Dave Collins you know and what I tell you we're here right here in kind of a street you know shop so might yes there you know it's nice to come back to Carnaby Street after all the time I feel a bit emotional going back to the were in twenty's here we used to race you know the 1st time it came to the days men will land it him and we will brought Stewart to kind of a straight they were into it and it was amazing the people was excited to see you know meet in us you know the bunch of drinks made us feel alone and we danced everything was a phone man wonderful you know and this is where all the musicians and artists you sang and you know it was good to see some of my friends and was here before us the pioneers there were here as well you know days Monday so when we came up it was like oh man actually this was the 1st black club so we didn't have much places to go you know I mean safety is just it's very emotional for me you know. It's good you know you're talking about he's to give a note I was you know over getting up in age you know I mean the kind of set the pace of the music scene you're here because you know the reggae music was just coming from the disco on a rock stage you know so when the record Come on each year it was like well you know I mean a table where we go the place I remember in a road block. Was so nice I was amongst a group called the sensations Johnny Osborne and guys like that and one night we were on West Street and the phone rang insight wisdom rushed and got the call came back out looking very excited said to was God. That was a call from Trojan England on the cell that we need to jump on the plane like now to come to England because the barrel is on its way to the number one slot. On the ground you know. Thank you very much. For stopping the pub so you you know when I came up I missed the Top Of The Pops show you know you were down one series of Top Of The Pops with some different guys and some of that now from Jamaica it was a very very strange experience for me because coming from Jamaica simple reason why when we were rushed to the b.b.c. To appear on top of the post when we were called out to do test runs I was bumping into guys like Rod Stewart Cliff Richard all the other people who have said what is this real you know am I really here I know it could a long story short it was a wonderful experience but I must say this I was extremely nervous but in a nervousness I was still very very excited the success of the Barrow was built on its appeal to the white working class chief in the u.k. Particularly among those who call themselves skinheads now the term is associated with right wing politics and racists but the original Skinheads were all about fashion and love black music. Laurence Kane honey set sees the music as bringing to give a different communities it was really reggae that proved vital in ending the rift between black and white teenagers and sort of a cross pollination sounds to the charts really it was Trojan at the time was promoting reggae in the late sixty's and it was at that time really but you had the most time lightly a group of people from white background championing reggae in the u.k. And they were the skinheads and really the 1st group of skin as the 1st generation of skinheads the come along they were the fashion kind not the fascist kind and they were very much into my community can really it was a mingling of cultures in the light sixties really that had a profound influence in terms of multiculturalism that would later follow it was from that time that reggae started appearing in the charts thanks to their buying power. Don't. Listen to music was breaking through to the pop charts but for the windlass generation and their children their musical culture was separate from the mainstream and it was based on local record shops that sold the hottest something to make up and the local sound systems that played the house parties and then they were specialist people who were bringing in the records from the Caribbean from Jamaica maybe like packings who had his records before but this record store was servicing mainly sound systems and they refused people but you were they were because they were a little bit more expensive than ordinary released records but they were free release records there were imports this kind of how make reggae what reggae is around you up. I went to visit but they were taking his records and awards winning record labels here in London. Tell me how he's continuing the legacy of his father George Pickens Price who established the business as a record dealership in 1960 George was the 1st person to bring the Jamaican sounds to me like it. So here Pickens records thought so. Tell us about that in person just not that they told price they grew up in your Maker of all the great producers of today so we're talking about you create cocks and dog me Barry proved Buster that the sound system is too big sounds on the island Cox and you create your Cox and who's the pioneer of Jamaica music in the studio one that came in 96 the 1st presence of an informant you're making music in England it's a hub of Studio one you can only buy studio one from picking for and for. Specialist record shops were crucial in spreading music from the Caribbean to the u.k. David Rohde can tell me more about record shop culture at that time record shops were cleaned of sound systems really because the census of the had in there was amazing when you got home you put the record but in some others in the shop you want to take it back I think I got marked off as some screw up in the sound system with a room in the shop where the room you're in a friend or your daughter as yo
