One of the most talented and intelligent Dj's to come out of Jamaica, yet so underrated. He didn't get the respect that he was due in life, but his music lives on .
My reggae hero,i had black man time on down town UK,at the age of 7 ,dont ask ,but those strings one the slaving riddim shaped my musical taste,god bless king I roy the best❤🇬🇧🇮🇪🍀
I remember when I was a small kid & my Dad was playing in a shubeen, I was trying to sleep on the couch upstairs. After the dance me & my Dad got in the car and he gave me an album to hold as he drove us home, I didn’t know what the album was as I was about 4 years old but the cover of that album stayed with me forever, that album was Hell & Sorrow. A few years later I’m looking in the gram & find nuff I-Roy albums, luckily I inherited them when my Dad passed. RIP the Great I-Roy, hopefully one day Jamaica will wake up & treasure those that paved the way.
@@sandrawillis1334 if you're saying that I Roy is greater than U Roy, Sandra, you clearly haven't listen carefully. I'Roy's voice is more commercial than URoy and that is what.he has over URoy. Otherwise he is the third in line. The first is URoy. The second is Big Youth. I Roy copy them both. Listen again. URoy and Big Youth are original kings in their styles. They are the greatest influences, style wise by all popular DJs of their time. I love the glitter that I Roy brings to the music though. No one could do "Buck and the preacher" any better and maybe several others too. I think many people who hardly knows the difference between URoy and I Roy, gives I Roy Hugh Roy's credit. I check for them both though. Prince Jazzbo gave I Roy a run for his money in one single song. We love them all though and we always love the truth.
This man is extraordinary. Thanks for posting the great and mighty IRoy. His sound is like no other, or 2nd to none. I hope he'll get the true respect he deserves from his organic and original sound that so many have pilfered. Rest In Peace IRoy. You ruled mightily. One love.
I met I Roy in the Seventies when he first came here he used to deejay on King Tubbys (UK) sound and helped us to win our first major sound clash @ Battersea Town Hall in 1973. Happy Days!
19 Kids ( flashing the whip). U Roy was the original but this guy rides and sits on a ridding unlike any other. I love him and to this day in 2020 I still play and listen his talent. IRoy in my opinion was one of the best!
He was the absolute best in his time, the most lyrics out of them all!!! Only Charley Ace, Dr. Alamintado and Jah Youth (Big Youth) could chant even close to his standard '70 to '75 👑💫💯
I had the privilege of deejaying with him one night on his sound Turbotronic, on the beach at Rio Nuevo, St. Mary 1981. Intellectual lyrics legend! Missing him right now!
Does anyone else think he’s funny as heck! 😂. He cracks me up. Extremely likable guy. Sounds like he’s talking to his buddies in a bar or in his home personal space. Except unbeknownst to him- he’s sharing deeply personal daily life info that is being broadcast to the world. RIP. This man had a tremendous VOICE that I love to hear! Blessings❤️
Respect to my Brethren Fowler massive who send me this Historical video interview with this Historical Man the great IRoy, what a history lesson on sound system this man is giving to the world which I was a part of in my younger days, straight legend this man, hear the giants this man mention King Tubbys, coxson, channel one sons junior ect, my Sound Was Papa Moke Hi Fi, my boss use to get a lot of dubs From the great King Tubbys himself, RIP Papa Moke Tubbys IRoy, great legacies.
This is one of the best interviews I have ever heard on the start of Dance Hall music , I also saw a very informative interview from Big Youth , just gold about the real history.
i absolutely love iRoy! and he is such an INCREDIBLE TALKER, JUST SET HIM OFF AND, AN HOUR PLUS LATER HES STILL GOIN LIKE HE JUS STARTED!!!!!!! Iv got the original recording of him talking bout Jazbo to Roddy, its my favourite tape of All time, do you wish You had it?
I knew Steve Barrow filmed this and he talked about this long time and I wanted to see it soooo much. I Roy, my favourite jamaican DJ, woooow... THANX A MILLION for this video.
An absolute pleasure listening to him! I grow up listening to his music from Jamaica to England I’m listening to the great I-Roy. Him make me laugh 😂 and smile 😊one love me brother.
Thank you PALM Pictures for this lovely piece of history. I've been waiting for to see I-Roy live in interview since I was a young boy. Quite refreshing to say the very least!
Such a gifted talent, humble and classy gentleman. May his soul be blessed and rest in peace. *LEGEND* ... thank you for this outstanding interview. Salute to Steve Barrow
He died humbly and it touched me when I heard but I have a good collection of his music. Without apology to anybody, I have always felt that I Roy was one of the best dj out of Jamaica since U Roy. He was clearer and his lyrics were much better in my opinion.......in addition he had the best voice I have heard recorded back then. Jazzbo was a clown compared to him. I love his music and I am holding on to my collection. I loved ranking Trevor and Hugh Brown but the flow from the great I Roy is unmatched to this day. You don’t have to agree but find his music and listen to a legend. I own a system and play occasionally........ you know I Roy is up front and center.
I Agree i like U Roy of course but what it is is, I Roy has Charisma He is captivating. Look how long the interview went on for, im quite sure he would have carried on talking into the next week😁 Personally i could listen to him talking. forever. Fascinating details and facts. "Black man time" is up there as one of best deejay tunes of all time enjoyed this immensely. "Nuff Repect I Roy."👊🏿
Balli wow I’m in shock I can’t believe him pass on already someone else commented above that he passed I had was to question the person because him did look so young and strong in the interview. This interview took place in 2016 when did he pass on. How old is he? What age him pass on. He talk about money like him have enough of it! Yet someone above stated that he was homeless and penniless when he passed! I’m confused!
@@samuelnelson9613 I-Roy was born in 1944 according to his biography..And yes it appears he had mental illness and passed away of heart failure. Others sources point to financial exploitation by record companies as one of the reasons for his depravation.
Couldn’t agree more sir very well said I’m 40 years plus’s reggae anorak/connoisseur👌 only man could touch The mighty I Roy was probably Papa Echo Love vibes❤
Freshking31 Freshking31 I m trying to find Aaron Reid or Trevolin. I Roy is my Aunty's son.Any info u have please email me at sundayinspiration@yahoo.com.
Brilliant interview this man was a awesome dj don't think people realise how good he was years ahead of his time very articulate and very knowledgeable and intelligent lyrical some of old tunes are classics up to this day out of the Spanish Town camp where future lyrical dis come from like the great Papa San Lieutenant Stitchie Ricky Stereo Wolfman
Gold... Thanks for the interview, I don't know why I found it only today. There is not so much information about I-Roy out there on the internet. Such a PERSON!
Jah Know Star I love hear how I Roy a reason Brethren. I remember I met him in di early 90’s at SuperPower Records with Count Shelly on Church Ave. What a fun Bredda.R.I.P. I-ROY 🔉🔉🔉🎼🎼🎼🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎤
I loved I Roy; he was my hero, he was next to Big Youth probably the first conscious DJ bringing to youth the importance of black self worth. I absolutely love him; I knew his lyrics word for word. For me during his time his lyrics was an inspiration they were so uplifting. God bless him.
I Roy was the first DJ I ever take in as a kids in Jamaica in the 70's with another DJ name prince Jasbo on ruddy's sound. I was around 12 -13 yr old boz I can remember I went to the dance in a short karki pants and a weather man hat,, good old days , he was a articulate kind off kid always wearing beva felt hat, hahaha
I was 13 yrs old when I first listened to reggae music in my neighbors house ...song called Fire In The Wire from the Front Line Compilation album -no doubt there are great songs in that compilation but this one was and is still one my best reggae :/Dj /dub reggae in a true social commentary...Veli Shabangu from South Africa Johannesburg..
19 children and not one them helped him out when he was in need. I've seen this happen so many times one of the main problems in my opinion is that a lot of artists don't evolve and move with the times. Its tragic
THE MOST ARTICULATE, SLY,, LOGICAL OF THE CLASSIC DJS. What a treasure. He reminded me of W.C. Fields when he rapped/ toasted.... Treasure. GIVE THANKS mates. Cheers.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

Scratch was on the flight when when I was carrying my daughter from to Atlanta to Florida, it seems Everytime I went to Atlanta air port it seem scratch Perry always the move
What a great video. Welding, teapot, upper brockley Rd se4 record shop next to the chinny man shop who sold real Jamaican patties not so popular like now. I rinsed those tunes on my dads old blue spot, what a bass. Just left secondary school about to go to Se london college Lewisham way. Great times mummy and daddy was still Live my two sisters and little brother were still alive. Great video great times stay safe my people.
If what I-ROY said regarding UROY is true, the UROY was a shady Ras towards this brother Iroy. As a matter of fact, I watched an interview with Uroy with Irish and Chin. In that Interview Uroy to me was mean spirited towards Iroy. Now that I've listened to Iroy, I'm seeing Uroy in a different light. Wow!!!!!!!!!
URoy basically said that I-Roy was very bossy and show-off and listening to him talk in interviews it seems kind of true. He's still on top of my favorite DJs of all time.
@@8AUGS Back in 84, U-Roy toured Africa and was in Cameroon for a couple of shows. In an interview on national Radio U-Roy claimed I-Roy was "jealous" of him when asked if the latter was his brother😄😄....Sounded odd to me and I started thinking... they must be at odds. Well I believe U-Roy was uncomfortable with I-Roy's progression and rivalry...But I really love Both though.....
Respect! Mr. a ride, you are the a pitta me of a master DJ. I group on your music and love everyone of your records. My especially favorite is Miss Maggie take of your buggy and in the days of old when things were invented etc. etc. You genre of DJ is incredulously magnificent and truly lyrically exponent then. I can’t wait for you to get back in this scene.

Hearing Don Letts speak patwa = priceless!!
LEGEND! bring back di real 🎶 of substance I too young fi remember him but my father bless his soul knew him.
19 children and not one them helped him out when he was in need. I've seen this happen so many times one of the main problems in my opinion is that a lot of artists don't evolve and move with the times. Its tragic
Before we judge we must know all the circumstances.
pure joy! great stories, hope to see more from palm!
First deejay to clash with Prince Jazzbo!
real talk what a wise man
20:42 "Even the great Mick jagger come in from America to attend I-ROY dances. ...." -- I-Roy
Nice informative interview give thanks. Unfortunate that Mr. Roy died in 1999. Did he accomplish finishing he studio and producing artists?
Palm Pictures brought I-Roy back to live again. That is great.

Wish my Dad was here to watch this, the great I-Roy was always played in our home.
Very educational I love every second of it bless up
Surprising to hear him mention Richard Branson and Mick Jagger. lol

I Roy was a legend I remember his fabulous l.p. Presenting I Roy one the best dj lps ever made produced by Gussie Clarke
URoy basically said that I-Roy was very bossy and show-off and listening to him talk in interviews it seems kind of true. He's still on top of my favorite DJs of all time.
Truth.
@@8AUGS Back in 84, U-Roy toured Africa and was in Cameroon for a couple of shows. In an interview on national Radio U-Roy claimed I-Roy was "jealous" of him when asked if the latter was his brother😄😄....Sounded odd to me and I started thinking... they must be at odds. Well I believe U-Roy was uncomfortable with I-Roy's progression and rivalry...But I really love Both though.....
