U could watch Documentaries about Jamaican culture and Reggae music all day. I love and appreciate them all. I was born in 1992 but when I watch these films I feel like I was around in their time haha.
This has to be one of the best documentaries about Reggae music, with participants such as Gussie Clarke. I have a lot of Music Works music, watching this video puts everything into perspective of how they developed their sound from the engineer, back up singers, to the man who fixed the equipment, a tight machine for real. The only thing disappointing about this video it should have at least a million views.
With my thirty odd years collection of over seventeen hundred cd .and hundreds of vinyl this interview makes me appreciate my roots rock reggae music .
Had no idea Gussie was so involved with his team of musicians, writers, mixers,etc. And he makes sure writers get compensated. Love all the insights into how they record and who played on the records. Big up!
Mr. Augustus Gussie Clarke is the first Jamaican Producer to accomplish a legally driven production enterprise that incorporated publishing business practices that are inline with international standards and is a blueprint for Jamaican labels if they want to distribute their projects on a international level and with legal conformity. Again Thank you Mr.Clarke for the gifts you gave me many years ago... Cheers from your adopted family in Southern California.
Let's not forget Courtney "Mikey Irish" Small too in our Big Ups. He certainly deserves a bushel of kudos for being one of the dependable studio technician and engineer at Music Works.
Gussie Clarke is a brilliant genius producer with a vision for doing great things. I am impressed with his work ethic & genius business savvy awesome Jamaican music professional. I am inspired by Gussie Clarke I love working at his studio, & as long as Anchor is in business I will continue to work there...maximum respect Gussie Clarke.
Interesting to hear Stephen talk about bassline. I always felt those records lacked the heavy and deep bass that I loved. He showed me what he liked and wanted and I realise why I never took to those riddims even though they were massive in the UK. Funny how they never took off in JA either at the time. Gussie knew the sound he wanted for an international audience. Reminds me of Chris Blackwell.... Good business men
Yes many of the promoters and producers did well BUT many of the singers and musicians starved!!!!!! I never heard of Gussy before- Interesting the jump start he had on copyright and publishing. Thanks for sharing!
The music in Jamaica is continually evolving and Gussie played his part. I personally think its all got stuck with the technology and speed and tempo. For it to move in a diferent direction is hard now, could the rythem slow down and melodic singers return over a diferent set of chords I doubt it? It seems every song starts with a short melody and quickly evolves into a thousand lyrics in one line, dj style. Why cant somebody be bold and try something diferent, perhaps cool it down, perhaps get a little more sophisticated and get away from the current sound that everyone imitates? Gussie is a good example of being original and making the effort to be so.
This is where music from 19 how long is still relevant today, where the music made today, they’re not pushing the boundaries. You will hear a tune now and again but it’s not a barage of quality like before. Pure ediot making tune
Something the new artist can never do because they are too busy fighting against each other trying to claim top spot with their very short term music that will never make to the following month.
Mr. Gussie in the name of the Almighty God of all creation Mr. Leroy Sibbles killed and Murdered Mr. Jackie Mitoo over that same music covered by Musical Youths. Please clearifie who own that music.
TRUE that, who feels it knows it!!! Beware of producers who care only about themselves and would do any and everything to make themselves get ahead by using the weaknesses of others who don't believe in themselves!!!

Gussie Clark, Robbie Lyn, Sly Dunbar, Dalton Brownie, Dean Frazer, Danny Brownie, Freddie Mcgregor etc. They are all legends

Cocoa t and nadine Sutherland “ now or never “ is a musical masterpiece produced by Gussie Clarke
Tears of joy fill my eyes watching this.. any drummer born in 78 playing reggae and learns dancehall ragga drumming in 88 will know 😎
I’m from USA but when I first heard Telephone Tracks, I knew Music Works studio was a special place.
Recorded some tracks in the big room a year or 2 before this documentary. The place is legendary and full of vibes.
Excellent Documentary, the impact Augustus "Gussie" Clarke and company have had on Dancehall music and music in general world is profound.
Life changing awesomeness
Good interview. Big up my brethrens Judge n Bunny Diamonds 1/11/20
Great video. THANKS
Gussie and I Roy had a good thing going, remember the song black man time, enough said
For real, nuff tracks
Music Works Production.... Brilliant!... took Reggae to another level
Gussie was a footballer too from KC. We both use to play for Santos F.C. he was a nice footballer could hold his own.
Genius 💯💯
Sleng Teng by Jammy's was the first digital riddim however "Rumors" by Gussie (Music Works) took digital riddim to a whole different level.
Those Shabba music works productions were straight fire in the late 80s early 90s.
We need more of this
Freddie Mcgregor is a hardcore homeboy as if he live right next to you down the road and talk cool to all your uncles on a one love vibe
Wow.. Thanks Gussie 🙏🏽
Those basslines are something special.
The greatest hit of Gussie Clarke and Dean Fraser. Rumours Riddim 1988 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼. Respected from Zimbabwe. Not forgetting Bob Marley 1980
I personally love the mighty diamond cuts while with gussie.
This is perfect
Brilliant thanks
Excellent documentary ... I wonder how many of these producers have gotten national recognition by way of a national award?
They all deserve it bigg time
