RIP....a true legend. Keith Richards once said of him "More than a producer, he knows how to inspire the artist’s soul. Like Phil Spector, he has a gift of not only hearing sounds that come from nowhere else, but also translating those sounds to the musicians. Scratch is a shaman."
He's probably one of the most unique & bizarre (not in a bad way) mythical figures in the whole history of Dub & Reggae. Even if you don't know Dub & Reggae & you like other music, you probably know his name.

Why, on earth, would Martin Bashir think he could handle Lee "scratch" Perry😅. He was clearly deluded. Scratch, was like an mad uncle to me. Met him in Jamaica 1977, on school holiday. He was close friends with my Grandfather. Scratch and his lady, taught me how to make gungu peas soup, with a few other Jamaican earthy dishes, not really made anymore. I will always remember him, coming to knock for me, to come out and tour Jamaica. That was the best 6 weeks holiday ever. ❤😢
Seen this weasel interview Robert Downey Jr. Makes for an interesting watch and insight into what sort of person the interviewer is. I suggest you watch it.
Saw Scratch live in D.C. years ago. Don’t know if the Music amazed me most, or just being in the same room with him. Truly amazing man. I’ll Never forget it...
This interviewer is a straight lunatic.This Man help created reggae music,the Spiritual music.This interview is appreciated by I and many many others.Long live the Legend of Reggae Music Lee "Scratch" Perry 🙏🌍🇺🇸🇯🇲🇹🇹🇻🇮
Scratch is a one off original Genius, and any artist and musician who has worked with him will testify this. at 80 years of age in March 2016 he was with Coxone at Studio One, he had the Legendary Black Ark Studio, and is still touring, when so many have passed.
"Do you think I am crazy? I am crazy!" That was his moment of clarity. But yeah, in a chaotic world one might as well embrace the chaos instead spending time in and time out to make a chaos repelling umbrella. Fuck, I'm starting to speak like him now!

+Logan Schway This is literally the conversations I'd have with them when I was a kid. I think that's why I can talk to people that others think are crazy. I seem to attract them though and there's way too many in London.
"Laughing vampires dance!!!!" This guy is the truth, he's a guru but people don't understand the shit that he's saying. This guy sees the world for what it truly is. A massive collection of unthinking followers.
agiftedrighter.com Lee Scratch Perry talk with some sense during the interview, but he needs some medical attention.The government should seek all the older folks, and interview them before they passed away with certain information.That could help the younger generation, how to do certain, and how the music Jamaican music came about.Tries to get a pictures of them to put into a album, and try to build a museum of reggae . So that the younger generation will have something to looked at, and know where the foundation is coming from.
love this cat....he's also dropped more acid than all the members of the grateful dead put together...the fact that he can complete a sentence is a testament to his unique mind. and yeah, Bob Marley owes him just a tinch
Hear hear he is magic. Neptune is deceptive. Long live. Lee scratch. Perry your a genius nobody comes close mad or not. Definitely not though just slightly eccentric. High on life now. Lee. Wish I could be like you. Happy. New. Year to all who’s viewing. Great minds think alikexXXXx❄️☔️🎶🎧🌑🌕☀️🌟☀️❄️💗💕
Went to a scratch Perry concert some years ago in Seattle and it was the most memorable concert i've been to. If you like heavy base dub and roots, definitely check him out as he had that energy and the crowds vibe going on + a little spliff..... buyaka! best concert ever
I smoked a fatty in the early morning light with this amazing being the morning after i had seen him and his show the night before. A true legend and a musical genius thank u mad professor for all u do
Where do they get these interviewers from, I mean even a four old can interview better than this😅😅🤣 Anyways love you Mr. Perry!!! The world needs more souls like you🥰🥰🥰
I went to a concert in 2018, he pulled my sister on stage and we ended up going backstage with afterwards. This man was super genuine, a fan gave him a card and he pulled off his cap and stuck it in there. But his hat was stuffed to the brim with things people have given him. Never forget that moment. RIP to the legend.
Damn Scratch you used to have a toaster hanging above your gate to symbolize that your a toaster that toast pon riddim. And Raggamuffin build the real toasting and djing pon riddim. I'm sorry man but i'm a Raggamuffin through and through culture or slackness

Fire toung

A man happy will appear carzy to those who are unhappy. Lee Scratch Perry is a fulfillment of this prophecy.
You just got to love him man, at his age? Energetic than my lait 30s ...afe is becoming a digit
@@jacktack77 you would know all about these issues you raise.. look within and you will find that which you see in others. Expel it and move on, or it will eat away at your soul.
❤❤❤❤
@@jacktack77why the slander?
He's so unique he could easily be from another dimension.
I love it def true he is smarter than he is making out..he is even wearing a Jesus top and letting you know he is a Christian just in case lol 😉
I think he IS!!! He is phenomenal.
He is...
Ohhhh he is!
Most definitely. Not to disrespect Perry but but its possible he's allowed himself to be available to spirits around us.
Marley took the seed you gave him and made a glorious forest.
Love Lee Perry, he gave the music to Bob and Bob took it to the top of the mountain and gave it to the world.
Do you know who Joe Higgs is?Do you know the part he played?
GOD gave Bob his music...this man just made money after that...
@Fanta Graham bullshit you fool
@Fanta Graham the wailers make all other reggae artists seem like cheap imitations.

Happy 80th Birthday Scratch...!
Gideon van der Veer yes happy birthdays and I hope he s not feeling too bad these days .
Wow black dont crack
Happy 85th as of this year lol
Lmao 😂 lee is clearly having fun here, he must have been asked the same questions so many times. Watching the interviewer squirm it's so funny.
Tom Tom For sure!
He confuse the interviewer 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣I love him, He is deep.
Why, on earth, would Martin Bashir think he could handle Lee "scratch" Perry😅.

Everyone knows Lee for his legendary work as a producer and dub artist but man his early ska and rocksteady days were amazing
what years were those?
60’s
Ponda
Amen.
The interviewer lacks the expertise of tapping in to this old man's mystical dimensions.He wants to express himself beyond the boxed type questions
Thanks for pointing that out. I am on a quest to change all of that in becoming the world's greatest interviewer.
actually the opposite, he knew very well what to ask, which means he did understand quite well what's Perry on about
Seen this weasel interview Robert Downey Jr. Makes for an interesting watch and insight into what sort of person the interviewer is. I suggest you watch it.
Type: "Robert Downey Jr. Walks out of interview" into search. Title should give you an idea what to expect 😂
This interviewer lacks not only that 🤦♂️🤷♂️
The smart ones are usually crazy. God bless him.
He is good man
GOD OF MUSIC
Jesus have to back off
R. Clark I’m emo boy I really love him. He’s still young and strong
Very true n always judge by others facts 💯
Money comes and money goes. But I remain....
Money goes but stay on you... you getting fooled
First line when i hear him
Yeah, remain broke.
@@theripper3294 I don't believe that wasn the point of what he was trying to say...
It means even if wealth disappears we're still here cause there's hope ❤️

The Brother from another planet. That's where I first heard of Lee Perry. Excellent film and soundtrack.

Pure Heart, Pure Soul! He is and will be the freatest Reggae Master.
Saw Lee scratch Perry in London last night and it was pure magic.
There will never be another like the legend Lee Perry.
Rest up king…legends live forever…
King of kings, lord of lords.
D.E.P.
I wish I was the interviewer!!! I would have loved to have a conversation with him!! Lee is LEGEND!! 🙌🏽🔥❤️ seeing him in 2 days!!
Renee Simpson did Yu see Him ?
"Do you think I am crazy? I am crazy!"
That was his moment of clarity. But yeah, in a chaotic world one might as well embrace the chaos instead spending time in and time out to make a chaos repelling umbrella.
Fuck, I'm starting to speak like him now!
I like his confession: I am Christian.
Shirt is shockingly says that
interviewer pure babylon sick heart. RIP Legend
Pure genius…a connector of the world of spirits to man. His influences will endure for I-ver!
Lee is a icon. Legend. This man is unique. He can never be copy or replicated. He is living art.
Haha the interviewer is struggling to understand this great man. I have never seen someone so uncomfortable.
Agreed.
He does that to even the Jamaican interviewers Rest In Peace the original upsetter 😂 .😂 😂
He's constantly freestyling - love it.
When you are a creator, an Afrikan inventor, like this man is, you (meaning we) get to do whatever you want!!! Selah!!!✨🖤❤️💛💚✨

This interviewer had the chance to find out so much and was so narrow. He should have asked “Talk me about the beginning” And left it out there.
This man was very sane. RIP
Where do they get these interviewers from, I mean even a four old can interview better than this😅😅🤣 Anyways love you Mr. Perry!!! The world needs more souls like you🥰🥰🥰
NO DISRESPECT BUT WHY IS HIS FACE GOLD!!
Rest in style you magnificent being

One can tell the impact he had on Bob marley.

I love his songs "Legalize Collie Herb" and "Have faith in Rastafari"
Keep pushing ma man

Smart people do act crazy. But Lee Perry he is a wise man ? That’s why he is still here today 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Bashkir? That’s who needs to speak to this icon! Yes, we will really get to understand a very complex human through this enquiry🤔
First of all, it was a Trinidadian that started the guitar riffs in reggae ☝🏾
Christopher Charls you must be trini aren’t you ?
Preach
BadBwoyRico 876 yes
Not true.the Trinidadian slowed down ska at the request of duke Reid to rock steady.reggae riff was done by an Upsetter guitarist.
peter kruud u must not know what I mean by riff...
A level of genius that's truly amazing to witness. 🔥
Nuff blessings!!!!!
Rest in peaceeee
I never knew of Scratch till yesterday, rest in peace
