From the Author
This book is above all a labour of love. We ‘born and grow’ with reggae and the men and women who sang and played and produced it have given us countless moments of joy. In a way this is our small token of thanks for the real happiness they brought into our lives.

From the Introduction: The name has changed over the years (mento, ska, rocksteady, dub, dancehall, ragga) but the tradition in which the music is created has not. Reggae was never designed to suit a specific formula or espouse a given political view. Nor was it thrust upon the masses by slick corporate hype or central planning committees. Reggae has grown directly out of the experiences of the Jamaican people and all discussions must begin there.
