- Опубліковано 25 жов 2018
- Seani B’s show on BBC 1Xtra celebrates the best music rooted in Jamaica, from Dancehall to Reggae and beyond. This week it’s purely UK, as he takes to Maida Vale for Black History Month to throw a very special dance, Lovers Rock style.
Including performances from the likes of Carroll Thompson, Michael Gordon, Janet Kay and Victor Romero Evans, as well as some very special guest appearances from Terri Walker, Cherri V and Tanika. This programme delves deep into a genre that helped define British black music in the 1970's.

British lovers rock 💎 truly the best. Sweetest melodies and harmony.♥️💛💚🇯🇲🇬🇧
Raised on dese riddims from i come out the womb!! Real UK Caribbean vibes 🇯🇲
Some things never get old and I'm 35 my mami and da used to play these loud. Especially my mami. Sunday afternoon after we came back from church while she was making our dinner. Thanks and blessings to the lovers rock reggae. I still listen to it to this day. . . 🕊️
So wish Louisa Marks was still here to sing and be part of this scene. RIP Grenadian Empress.❤💛💚 . Can't beat Lovers Rock.
RIP to her, Jean Adebambo, Deborah Glasgow, all fallen Lovers Rock heroes and shereos taken too early - though they live on through their sweet music.
She was a Grenadian Empress with a Jamaican flavour......
Rest in Peace always lovely ladies and thank you.
So Proud to be British- Black British - Black Pride
OnlymeMOK JAMAICAN to ?
I'm African American but I absolutely love the story of my black British brothers and sisters. I am so in love with this music more so knowing the story of how it evolved out of the struggle of our ancestors who went over to Britain for better opportunity but we're met with racism. This music kept the black people together and created a gateway for black British musical talent.
British government went to the ex colonies " inviting people" over to "rebuild the mother country" after second world War only to treat them as second class citizens.. Racism never finishes. Very covert ways it plays out on the Uk
Proud to be black British with Jamaican roots. Boom!!
Proud too 🇯🇲 mixed irish Jamaican 😂
Privileged to have grown up with lovers rock in the 70’s/80’s. Brings back a lot of school days memories. Beautiful...
Those three sisters backing the show were very much on point also.. Quality right there.
beautiful....true niceness vibes
this is when music in clubs made people feel happy and flirty not like today violent and nasty,, bring back the good old days oh lord
Well said Xx
Real talk
TRUE TRUE! NUFF SAID
john ross 100% agree if only we could bring back these days
No, thanks.
Grew up listening to this music. Can remember the elders slow grinding at house parties and wondering why they were dancing so slow lol
LoL
And sweating so much lool..
I'm only in my 20s but I grew up to lovers rock
They told a story through the music so beautifully
Definitely a better generation of music
Music was real music back then
Well said. Real music
Real Talk the music has so much more meaning
There is a documentary called The story of lovers rock check that out if you can, or you have already
same here. 25 years young and love lovers rock
26 y/o American checking in. This shit is too smooth and lovely. ♥️
All Credit to Jamaica for its influence on Britain.
yu kud mek it bak to Freekaa if yu tak bout influence fo sure !
Medicine for the soul. Thank you Kings and Queens.
❤️❤️❤️
I love this music, I wish there were still dances with this music with people of every colour vibing, peace and love ❤️
All the Artists were wicked. But for Me it was very fitting that Seani B chose Kofi to close the show. Wow what a voice she has. And her energy is tremendous.
only one word can describe how I felt when watching this " BLESSED" thank you all
What a time we had in thoes days ..over 50s generation..Music
Not necessarily...I am 47, but one of Leeds finest sounds, Jungle Warrior used to run these tunes from my family house, so I grew up on these, and these started me singing, to this day. Some of my friemds from Leeds are Lovers Rock Hall of Fame singers and people as young as 44, I woukd say, knkw these as I do, like the back of theor hand.
Big people selection, sweet memories
Been there from day 1
44 years in and still loving it
You mean 40s upwards
Skellyfree Skellyfree me too
hey and a few over 40s too....grew up on this!! parties in this era were the best..... listen dis talk... bring a bottle ... say Tony or Clive (always one ah dem inna di place) said it was ok... find a kotch, respect da yard and jam til maaaawnings ketch the 4-6am rub downs and go home wid a number ...maybe!!... good times!!
I love my lovers rock. NOW is the time to bring it back as there is a gap in the music. Respect to all that took part. I thouraly enjoyed It.

@@sunnie231138 Reggae IS JAMAICAN MUSIC originated by JAMAICANS! Stop this "Caribbean music" bullshit because you don't wanna give Jamaicans the DUE RESPECT for what THEY created, and the World tries to imitate and claim what doesn't belong to them!
@@djwsam575 It's NOT "west indies music" or "Caribbean music" it's REGGAE MUSIC originated from JAMAICA and you bandwagon jumpers know it, but begrudge giving JAMAICA and JAMAICAN'S their props. Claim ya damn Calypso and STFU.
I was there when Uk Lovers Tunes grew... And use to sing all those tunes ... And now aged 57 im still singing and loving all my lovers rock tunes ❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🎤🎉👏🏾🎸🎺
right there with you Wendy
Same, loved my lovers rock tunes. 56 now and still vibing 🔊🔊❤️🍾💯
Michael G and Kofi are awesome
OMG the good old days brings back so many memories, the songs of my young life.
Kofi you can truly sing girl. Nuff Respect 🙏
Just found this, two years late. I wish they would come to the States more often. There's many of us over here, who grew up on these tunes, who would come out in support. And, Kofi, just wow!!
Me too. Found this last year.
Best days of my life back then lovers rock was all that I listen to,
Bless up. Xx
The soundtrack of a generation when we all had the same story to tell.
This told of a simpler time when we faced REAL struggle for social acceptance, whilst embracing our heritage.
1st generation born here, whilst juggling a 'back home' upbringing against western ideology...
we were unified by the experiences we faced in a hostile environment and trying to be Twice as good as our caucasian counterparts..
Lovers Rock chronicled our journey through this life and time, dealing with Love, Heartbreak, Uprising and Strength.
Its no surprise it has stood the test of time, as it was music created from within our 'Hearts and Soul'.
Our Music, Our Story, Our History, Our Life.....Blessings and Love
Wonderful....
LIVE...LOVERS ROCK..STILL GOING STRONG XXX

My OL time fav 😢
This is awesome...reminds of being at Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica..late 80's to early 90's.
It was too short, so so enjoyed the session. I was singing and crooning at the top of my voice. Amazing
The backing group excellent like the I Three’s
This was great...hopefully next time they can have a couple of, or all of the following in studio...Lloyd Brown, Peter Hunnigale, Vivian Jones, Winsome and fly Sanchez over from Jamaica👍
The good old days ❤️
Hits my memory bottom, I' m still playing these songs in the wee hours at a dance, wonderful...
Wonderful memories I can remember raving from Friday night till Monday morning ...Hold a fresh and buck all day Monday at my desk. BaliHai...Columbos then on to Villa Road. I tell my kids they don't know how to rave. Thanks for posting.

Lol growing up West Indian, but in New York and Miami, I knew & enjoyed Lovers Rock but didn’t necessarily associate it with the UK. I’m so happy to understand the genre much more now🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm from the UK and appreciate your comment, UK lovers rock was so big in the UK within the black community but ever so underrated, but for my generation we loved it and will allways keep it close to our hearts.
So underrated, what a delight, fantastic job! This had me singing and dancing x
Amazing - beautiful and proud message
Revival of lovers rock is still king
2018- 2021 best ever lovers rock 👊🙌
