Baldhead classic! As a black man, I have to stand up and salute all the skinheads who raved to these tunes back in the day. They are the ones who gave reggae music a platform in England and helped made it international
Queen Silver Jewellery with us? Mate I’m not Black, I’m Brown lol, but I get what you mean, they were just using black people because white people preferred to be friends with them rather then be an enemy after what they saw black people were capable of doing to them since 1958 Notting hill race riots which scared a lot of whites.
I remember as a little girl, my pretty young mum rushing in all excited and putting this, her new record, on our radiogram. We laughed at her then, or at least my older siblings did, but I've loved it ever since and it makes me think of her now she's gone.
Back in the 70's I was a biker chick with a secret. I loved reggae and ska. I bought all the singles as the were released and kept them stashed at the back of the wardrobe to play when I was alone. Such a shame I didn't have the courage to 'come out'!
Im the same in reverse but never hid my vinyl. I think Mr Noddy Holder and Suzi Quatro (love her) made me do it along with Hawkwind.I even painted my bike silver so I had my own Silver Machine.I was 6. Funny thing I never discovered The God or Motörhead until I was 17 when some bikers played Motörhead Motörhead on the pubs Jukebox. Oh my fu(&ing God
This sounds just like it would have in the 70s, worn out dusty record played on a 60s valve record player turned up full blast. If you close your eyes you can smell the warm record player.
Three young lads about to check into the Merchant Navy training school at Gravesend, went for a quick drink in a local pub, played this on the jukebox, 50 years ago never forgotten that tune, and never saw the other two lads again.
Yeah Boris didn't get the credit that he was due for the single at first because the first 500 copies all had the wrong artist labelled. A bit unfair really to poor old Boris, never the less a wonderful classic single that I inherited from my parents small collection at the time and it still remains in my collection to this day along with many other classics and rarities.
I have this on 7 inch vinyl up in my loft along with other masterpieces such as liquidator, monkey man, al Capone etc, not been played for years now. I just happened upon this and it left me in tears, it's criminal that they have been unloved, I've got to buy a record deck again.
What memories! Thank you so much. This widowed grandma was young once upon a time! One of the happiest memories of my life. I hadn't danced in many years, until I heard this!
The Elizabethan Serenade was the only 7" vinyl my late mum owned and she laughed when she heard this version and she loved it. I love it too it reminds me of my mum
I can't believe I am listening to this and feeling the way I am feeling,I had to come look for it and found it.I have to say thanks to radio 97.1 in Trinidad, that's where I heard it whiles driving,wow!this took me back to my childhood, my mother loved this, may her soul rest in peace.
We heard this yesterday afternoon on BBC Radio Two📻We've never heard it before. My sister and husband were saying that this is brilliant, fantastic 🕺💃💃Like Steven Kirby says, this is uplifting🤣Thank you for posting. We really enjoyed it so very much 😃❣️🕊️🔥✝️
I just want to say that when I was young I loved reggae music, and yeah I dressed in Ben Sherman shirts, 2 tone and DMs. I loved the style and the music. We weren't bad girls or boys but loved the music. We all came together however we dressed. Now I am old but nothing makes me happy than to hear our reggae music and yeah I'm old but I dance !!! 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎷🎷🎷🎤
I don't know how I first heard this cracking toon...but I know it's stuck with me for over 45years. Not a common recording to find or to hear playing anywhere.....pleased to find it here :)
Not only a fine vocalist, but one of Jamaica's greatest musicians. Boris Gardiner, bass player extrodinaire, from Studio One, Treasure Isle, down to Washington Gardens & the 'Black Ark' studio, amongst others. What a fantastic instrumental rhythm...
I used to walk into a busy local pub on disco night in the eighties and the dj would play this straight away and call out my name. I couldn't get away with anything in them days.
Oh my God. I grew up in the 80's and this was opening track for cinemas in my hometown. Now that all cinemas there had been out of business since twenty years ago, I never thought I'd hear this music again. Thanks to the uploader & UA-cam who make it possible.
This song has been in my head the last few days I remember it from my childhood when my mom used to listen to her easy listening music and I played it for more classical form on the radio wasn't sure how to find it but I sang into my phone what was in my head and I found this track I can't believe it!
David Cooley I think you have the wrong sort of skinhead in mind. “The first skinheads were working class youths motivated by an expression of alternative values and working class pride, rejecting both the austerity and conservatism of the 1950s-early 1960s and the more middle class or bourgeois hippie movement and peace and love ethos of the mid to late 1960s. Skinheads were instead drawn towards more working class outsider subcultures, incorporating elements of mod fashion and black Jamaican music and fashion, especially from Jamaican rude boys.[1] In the earlier stages of the movement, a considerable overlap existed between early skinhead subculture, mod subculture, and the rude boy subculture found among Jamaican British and Jamaican immigrant youth, as these three groups interacted and fraternized with each other within the same working class and poor neighbourhoods in Britain.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead
The Gunther Kallman Choir had also recorded this track as "Elizabethan Serenade" in their native German, and it was one of the first Polydor recordings to sell over a million copies outside Germany. It was the title track of their album catalogue #LPHM 46910.
Baldhead classic! As a black man, I have to stand up and salute all the skinheads who raved to these tunes back in the day. They are the ones who gave reggae music a platform in England and helped made it international
Then they turned on Black people and joined National Front and BNP.
@@east_londonlad8988 Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs when people are easily brainwashed by the evils of this world, like racism.
@@east_londonlad8988, that’s because they were never with you in the first place. You were an opportunity and that was all.

God bless your dear old mum,I'm sure she's still looking after you wonderful people,god I'm near crying just thinking of you guys.

Damn you! I've got something in my eye.
Thumbs up for listening to Elizabethan reggae in November 2020

This was one of my late father's fave tunes. I still love it❤
Three young lads about to check into the Merchant Navy training school at Gravesend, went for a quick drink in a local pub, played this on the jukebox, 50 years ago never forgotten that tune, and never saw the other two lads again.
I came from Gravesend and so remember this tune with lot's of good memories, hope you do too!.

My childhood encapsulated. ❤🎶

Yes it is a criminal offence. I have informed the police, they should be visiting you soon.
Childhood memories of 70's London, Mum in the kitchen making rice and peas and my Father playing tunes on the Blaupunkt 'gram in the frontroom...
One of the great reggae instramentals of all time.
So good listening to this song in 2021. Such a great rhythm from Boris & the rhythm section...
Honestly the greatest tune of all time
Boy! This takes me back! Sweet joy🎉 ❤
I was never a skinhead but I loved, & still love, this wonderful sound. Brilliant!!
Tysm❤ was hunting for this piece for decades...❤
I have just discovered this after it came up on a quiz show and had to look it up, so glad I did. Love trojan reggae.
You must have been watching Pointless😊. I got the answer but my missus couldn’t recall how it went...so here I am😂
What memories! Thank you so much. This widowed grandma was young once upon a time! One of the happiest memories of my life. I hadn't danced in many years, until I heard this!
Ditto,all your comment & the memories 💖
Remember it well when I was Bristol UK skin in late 60's early 70s
The Elizabethan Serenade was the only 7" vinyl my late mum owned and she laughed when she heard this version and she loved it. I love it too it reminds me of my mum
Ilford Palais days 1969, oh the memories!
Soul Serenade.
The great Boris Gardiner, ace vocalist & session bass musician for Lee "Scratch" Perry, amongst others...Great classic reggae!
As a child, I loved Ronald Binge's original orchestral piece. Boris Gardiner's reggae version is a wonderful adaption. Not sure if don't prefer it...
My family lived in montego bay from 1965 to 1970....i grew up in canada listening to this as a kid
I can't believe I am listening to this and feeling the way I am feeling,I had to come look for it and found it.I have to say thanks to radio 97.1 in Trinidad, that's where I heard it whiles driving,wow!this took me back to my childhood, my mother loved this, may her soul rest in peace.

I'm not sure who I thought this was. Didn't realise it was Boris Gardiner. This is a true classic x
I don't know how I first heard this cracking toon...but I know it's stuck with me for over 45years. Not a common recording to find or to hear playing anywhere.....pleased to find it here :)
Happy bank holiday memories me and my wife dancing the night away love it
This is a classic tune!!!! I grew up with this record
Not only a fine vocalist, but one of Jamaica's greatest musicians. Boris Gardiner, bass player extrodinaire, from Studio One, Treasure Isle, down to Washington Gardens & the 'Black Ark' studio, amongst others. What a fantastic instrumental rhythm...
The first 45 I ever bought myself was Elizabethan Reggae - dancing around my nanna's house in brogue heels, Luton 1969! Thanks for the memories!
This song kept whispering in my head and I could not remember the name...only the tune. Google helped when I whistled it...so nostalgic.... evergreen.
One of the first ever records I bought, loved it!
I used to walk into a busy local pub on disco night in the eighties and the dj would play this straight away and call out my name. I couldn't get away with anything in them days.
Just aged 14 when this was in the charts oh happy days...Great to hear this again thanks for uploading it...
Such a great tune love it reggae , skins , ska mods , all of them .
Music was so much better in my day 70 s 80 s
Got this from an old episode of Death in Paradise! It's going to stay with me!! The reggae treatment of a lovely old tune, superb!!!
So much feeling in this music doesn't need words
Oh my God. I grew up in the 80's and this was opening track for cinemas in my hometown. Now that all cinemas there had been out of business since twenty years ago, I never thought I'd hear this music again. Thanks to the uploader & UA-cam who make it possible.
Oh a taste of the carribbean the kind my mother used to play on vinyl way back in the day when i was a nipper wonderful!
Love the slightly distorted sound and the way its ever so slightly slow every now and then.
Takes me back to a happier place and time 😊
Teach Dem interview with Boris Gardiner brought me here!!!
I wanna wake up with this tune.
THIS CHOON PUTS MONEY IN MY POCKET
You tube is full of amazing memories. Just when I begin to doubt my memory, here it is. Nearly 40 years later, it takes me back. Thanks for posting.
Faster than I remember but I heard it when very young young and never forgot x
This reggae choon, via UA-cam, led me to the original orchestral melody, by Ronald Binge. What a happy discovery. 😊
Boris,,, First record I ever bought. Superb xxxxxx
awesome.................played constantly at my local youth club circa 1969 - what memories!!! xx
56 thumbs down? What is wrong with people? It's a reggae tune from 50 years ago!
one of my all time favourites
Still the best since 70s TRORAN records ❤
great tune not heard for years thanks for making my day...
Love it. First heard it way back in '78 at my mates house when I was 9
Thanks tes74, brings back brilliant memories, on my list for my 6oth birthday party
Skinheads were the biggest influence in the history of reggae in Britain in the late 60s and Early 70s.
Skinheads Life Would Never Be The Same.
Best music brings me back to my days as a skin girl 1968/1973 till I got married you cannot beat the reggae of that era.. Skins was a way of life 🥾 🥾✊
love this -heard it last night on the radio -
The music of my childhood. 1970's Toronto, Canada.
This song has been in my head the last few days I remember it from my childhood when my mom used to listen to her easy listening music and I played it for more classical form on the radio wasn't sure how to find it but I sang into my phone what was in my head and I found this track I can't believe it!
OMG love this soooo much. So takes me back. Thank you !!!!!
This was posted in 2008, and it's still attracting some very positive attention!
Remember hearing this song as a young kid, but never knew who sang it. Heard it on Radio 2 Pick of the Pops last week.
Loved this tune when I was a teen, we had a little dance we did to it. I'm a white lady who lived near Brixton Market where I bought my reggae records
Great instrumental haven't heard it in years
Skinhead days loved it
Yeah bring back the skinhead days.
David Cooley I think you have the wrong sort of skinhead in mind.
“The first skinheads were working class youths motivated by an expression of alternative values and working class pride, rejecting both the austerity and conservatism of the 1950s-early 1960s and the more middle class or bourgeois hippie movement and peace and love ethos of the mid to late 1960s.

@David Cooley MY BRO WELL SAID!!!!!!
@@kevinsmith7768 BIG UP YER NANS DOG
@Nick Litzow
Yes, he definitely has the wrong sort of skinhead in mind. The majority of them just want to enjoy great music
😃❣️🕊️🔥✝️
Should be the fackin' National Anthem!
Original orchestral version 1951 was ‘Elizabethan Serenade’ by Ronald Binge.
What a tune as with all reggae top tunes the Horgan is the key to a fantastic piece of music
The first reggae song I ever heard..... and still the best!
With about 500 liverpool skinheads we tried to take the north bank at
Wolves late 69 and this song was playing great agro happy times
10 years ago, this is 2022, I paid 10 great British pounds for the original, on Duke records, released in 1969. A classic then and now
jus got the originally titled Elizabethan Serenade on a 4track vinyl 45, love it
Great music, brings back happy memories
OI! OI! BOSS TUNE. To be back in the day, if only.
if only!!!!!
I wish. Red Army 1968.

Now this is freaking awesome music to listen to in October, 2020
Great share - a timeless classic!
Play up Pompey...memories ...amazing

The first time i ever heard this song was on the Monkey Business Record, sounds as great as the first time i heard it. Thanks for the heads up mate.
Wow, i love the Elizabethan serenade,,,, but as a reggae tune, equally Beautifully
Only just realised this is a cover of a piece of classical music, brilliant cover by the way.
