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

Posted on by swadedavillain

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.

We Look At Songs That Sampled Byron Lee In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before the month is over, we want to show respect to an Architect in Jamaican Music. a Man who created a wave in the early years of Ska Music, and made his name prominent in other genres, that soon made him an inspiration, and Icon. His name is Byron Lee, and if there was a “National Heroes Of Jamaican Music” category, he would’ve been on the list. The late Musician/Producer/Entrepreneur took the music to new territories, and has received numerous accolades for his accomplishments. His Dynamics Sounds Studio was one of the best in the Caribbean, he produced classics in multiple genres, and he gave us “Jamaica Carnival“, popularizing Soca Music in Jamaica, making it accessible for everyone. His band, The Dragonaires, became the standard for many bands in the Caribbean, and have been in movies, on the Radio, and at an event near you. Byron Lee has done so much for Jamaican Music, but today we’re highlighting some of the music that sampled the work of Mr. Lee in our latest Playlist.

While the list is not long, we invite you to tune in to some of the hits that Byron Lee produced over the years, and some of the tracks that used his sound to make their own hits. From Ska, to Dancehall, to Hip Hop, Lee’s DNA could be found in some of your faves. Those who are not familiar, can use this Playlist as a start into discovering more from the late Icon. Long live Byron Lee!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Byron Lee & The Dragonaires x Preacher x Admiral Bailey – Dance Hall Soca (1993)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Sunday! Today we celebrate a lil Dancehall, and a lil Soca with our “Oldies Sunday” selection. Going back to the year 1993, we tune in to the late Byron Lee and his Band The Dragonaires’ hit, “Dance Hall Soca“! Featuring Soca Artist Preacher and Dancehall Artist/Football Coach Admiral Bailey, we get the best of both worlds as Dancehall and Soca fans alike joined forces and partied away without care! The track was featured on the Band’s 1993 album of the same name, and it’s a fun song that became one of Byron Lee’s signature hits, and you could say one of the songs that paved the way for many Dancehall/Soca collaborations over the years. With the superb instrumentations from the Band, and Preacher and Bailey’s contributions, you could wave your rag, wine, and do the “Soca Bogle” to your heart’s content.

Busy Signal is all about the social media “linkage” in his latest tune. Titled “Whatsapp“, this borrows the instrumental from Byron Lee & The Dragonaires’ “Tiney Winey” and Busy Signal speaks on his escapades with the ladies through the various social networks that he uses. A hot single here as I heard it numerous times before its release. A perfect song to add to your Dancehall and Soca playlists. R.I.P. Byron Lee.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from the beautiful living legend and Queen of Reggae, Marcia Griffiths. Titled “Melody Life” and produced in 1968 by the late Sir Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, Marcia sings about not seeing the benefits in the long run for being promiscuous and she urges people to settle down with the one person who loves and cares for them. Such a beautiful song and Marcia Griffiths has such a lovely voice.
