    I got to see Winston Grennen and the ska rocks twice when I was in high school. He put on two great shows, but they were in really small venues with only a few people there. He deserved a much bigger audience.

  41. D.... M....

    One of my fav tunes.

  42. M.... H....

    The song says Hegiton, Jacqueline, icelin  come down.

  43. M.... G....

    Have u pomp & pride,....woooooooooooooooooo!
    Love It

  44. S.... H....

    Ease it and happily, nicely, come down........ Just in case you were wondering?
    Not sure what this Iceland thing is that I keep seeing everywhere!

    S.... H....

    Si Hartley It's amazing! I've seen that too here and there. But it's fun....I just remember the message! "Ease it and nicely calm down...." I remember as a kid in New York, when the Dave Clark Five's "Bits and Pieces" came out, I (about 1964) thought it had something to do with an Almond Joy candy bar. "I'm in pieces" sounded like "Almond Pieces" to my "candy store, pizzeria, Carvel, knish, and shoestring licorice" oriented kid's ears. Now, in East Flatbush, the two phrases sounded about the same. Today these 'personalized' versions spread off the block pretty quickly! ^_^ A great song, but yeah, where's the connection with "opulin and Iceland?"

  45. C.... N....

    I can feel the sun on me when I listen to this!

  46. J.... K....

    Love it! I play this and "Reggae Got Soul" back to back multiple times!

  47. A.... F....

    Pomp & Pride, give thanks Toots Hibbert and the Maytals! Happy Night!

  48. f.... ....

  69. m.... ....

    lol i goy an ad for "find your happy place" appropriate

  70. a.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 actually,only uneducated people who make asumptions about things they know nothing about think that. Most people know the difference between skinhead and nazi.

  71. t.... ....

    beautiful

  72. t.... ....

    Where is the love yo? fuck fighting this is reggae!!!

  73. T.... M....

    shut the fuck up and enjoy thre music!!!!

  74. r.... ....

    wasnt a threat at all mate just a true statement n if you cant comprehend english read a fuckin book

  75. r.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 I can tell you one thing mate! You ever call us SHARPS a nazi your gonna regret it! i dont care what you think you know.. you dont know nothin apparantly

  76. r.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 I can list 300 names in several youtube comments and you would have no way of proving me wrong. I don't know how you don't think that that is believable though, if you knew anything about skinheads you would know there are MANY. And the meaning has nothing to do with having a shaved head and nothing to do with the subculture, so you can go call a real skinhead a nazi, I just hope it's not a SHARP you are talking to cause you might end up in the hospital.

  77. r.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 I can name around 300 people who are skinheads that I know personally are not nazis. How many nazis can you name that are skinheads?

  78. r.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 I'd like to see your credentials proving otherwise.

  79. r.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 Citation needed? Me being one, traveling the world, going to numerous oi shows and reggae clubs.

  80. r.... ....

    @ShadowCrashed81 Except almost all skinheads aren't racist so it doesn't make any sense. The few hammer skins that identify as skinheads are few and far between and most people the media labels as skinheads do not identify as skinheads and even less even have shaved heads.

  81. K.... ....

    This is actually Rock steady

  82. m.... g....

    @gibbogle its ska !!!!!!!!!

    m.... g....

    mike go.baski Definitely not ska, it is rock steady

  83. w.... ....

  84. M.... A....

  85. G.... B....

    @MarleysDiciple
    Is really reggae? I thought it was ska.

  86. G.... B....

    @Fireperv Agree!!!

  94. j.... ....

    Just got turned on to "toots and the Maytals" recently by reading a bio about bob marley, they are right up here with the top reggae music scene back then. really enjoying listening to their stuff. good post man

  95. P.... S....

    goed nummer bedankt man

  96. C.... ....

    @MrAblack1 you're welcome. I'll try and check their version out. I watched the Jolly Boys on Jools Holland's show not so long ago - they've got a nice old vibe going.

  97. D.... C....

    @CharlieBBoy12345 --Thanks brother! When you listen to the lyrics, it they are almost identical. I guess that means that the Jolly Boys, when they had a sort of "come back" in the 90's, must have covered Toot's work.

  98. C.... ....

    @MrAblack1 according to discogs, Toots wrote this one.

  99. G.... ....

    @alihunter84 Boomtown fair? SO good.
