Music From Toots & The Maytals, Byron Lee Featured In @RoofmanMovie


Have you watched any Movies lately? We’ve been catching up on a few recently including the Film, “Roofman“. “Roofman” is based on a true story and stars Channing Tatum, who plays the role of Jeffrey Manchester, a charismatic felon who while on the run, found refuge in a “Toys R Us” store, and adopted a new identity. The Film was released last month, and in the closing scenes, familiar sounds were heard.

In the final scenes of the Film, “Roofman”, music from Toots & The Maytals and Bryon Lee were featured. In one scene, “Happy Christmas” by Toots & The Maytals with Byron Lee & The Dragonaires was played, while Byron Lee & The Dragonaires’ version of “Auld Lang Syne” played in another. “Happy Christmas” was produced by Warrick Lyn and released in 1972 through the Jaguar label. Byron Lee’s “Auld Lang Syne” featured The SPM Singers, and was released in 1971 through Dynamic Sounds. Both music releases have found significant places in the music world, and continue to get played via streams and live events during the holiday season.

“Roofman” is out now on popular Video Streaming platforms, and select Theatres.

OLDIES SUNDAY: The Mighty Clouds – Syne Dub (1975)


It’s the final “Oldies Sunday” post of 2024! Firstly, thanks for the support of this segment, and we look forward to producing more come 2025. With New Year’s Day around the corner, we see it fit give you something in recognition of the upcoming day. We go back to nearly 50 years ago with The Mighty Clouds Band’sSyne Dub“.

Released through the Mid-Night and Black Ark Sound labels in 1975, “Syne Dub” was an Instrumental release for The Mighty Clouds Band. The track was a dub version of the popular “Auld Lang Syne” New Year’s Day song, and the b-side to Reggae Singer Leon Hyatt’s song of the same name. The mix of Percussion, Horns, Keys, and Bass come together well, and will put all the listeners in a dancing vibe throughout. Sometimes all you need is the Riddim to get you going.

To our Readers, Happy New Year when it comes!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Baron – Auld Lang Syne (1997)


It’s Boxing Day part 1! We hope you all had a great Christmas Day filled with unity, laughs, good food, and gifts. We’re giving an Oldies Sunday selection for the final time in 2021. We thank you for giving it some support, and we look forward to even more in 2022. In true New Year fashion, we bring to you Trini legend Baron and his track, “Auld Lang Syne“.

Produced by Julian Williams and released through JW Productions in 1997, Baron gives us some Soca vibes with his version of the classic “Auld Lang Syne“. A song that helps to ring in the new year, Baron brings in some backup singers for a performance that goes very well with your favourite drink, and good people (via Zoom because we’re still social distancing). The track was featured on Baron’s “Christmas With The Baron” album which was also released in 1997. We hope you enjoyed 2021 despite all the madness that happened throughout. May 2022 be even better, and we stay safe and successful. Thanks for being a part of the Blog!
