I was talking to a workmate the the other day about the reggae music
when I mentioned 'skinhead reggae' he looked at me as if I was crazy,
he said skinheads don't like Reggae! I said the original skinhead loved
reggae, in fact the birth of the Skinhead in the Uk was partly based on
the Jamacian Rude boys that emigrated to the Uk in the 60's, a few
Jamaican artists made a living from the Skinhead fans such as Derrick
Morgan & Laurel Aitken.
Early reggae (or skinhead reggae), is generally considered to be the
period before the Rastafari movement entered mainstream Jamaican
music from 1968to 1970. It met great success in the UK, especially
with the skinhead subculture. Major artists include John Holt, Toots
& the Maytals, The Pioneers and Symarip. Laurel Aitken, Desmond
Dekker & Derrick Morgan
