      Congratulations on being the wife of such a great artist. He said that the first time he left Jamaica 🇯🇲 to perform was in Guyana 🇬🇾 and as a Guyanese I’m proud of that. Salute 🫡 Dennis Alcopone.

    While it might sound simple, it was still one of the greatest moments for music and to create vibrations like that is a form of art. Leaves you with shivers down your spine. Listening to the tune Cassius Clay since decades - will never stop to do so. Love, only love.

      I was just thinking the same thing. Most non-Jamaican bands had trouble falling into a reggae groove, but in a more typical song it's easy for a close listener to find the fours and see how the skank fits in. "Cassius Clay" is broken down to a much simpler level, so the finding and the counting get a bit more challenging. This band is smack on the money.
