Desmond Dekker & The Aces - 007 (Official Music Video)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- In the summer of 1967, Desmond Dekker & the Aces’ rude boy anthem, ‘007’ became one of the first Jamaican-produced recordings to breach the UK’s national Pop Singles charts; its unexpected international success prompting an urgent need for material to promote the 7” single.
Consequently, Graeme Goodall, MD of Doctor Bird Records, the company behind its British release, hastily secured the services of respected Jamaican director, Perry Henzell, who wasted little time in filming the group live on stage and in the streets of island’s capital before editing the resultant footage and rushing it to the UK, where on the evening on 3 August, it was aired it on the BBC’s hugely popular ‘Top Of The Pops’ TV show.
Notable for being one of the earliest promotional music films ever to be created in Jamaica specifically for a global audience, it now not only provides a truly fascinating glimpse of Desmond & the Aces in action, but also of Kingston street life back in the mid-Sixties.

Was in Jamaica in 1966 for the Commonwealth Games. This song was being played literally everywhere - you couldn’t avoid it. Great times! Got home and the UK were just being introduced to it and the kids here went crazy for it too. A great Summer!! Great memories
I went to Barbados in November 1966 with my mother and aunt to see my grandmother. I was 8 years old at the time. On the way to Barbados, we stopped off at Kingston and I can clearly remember hearing this tune booming out as our ship docked at Kingston harbour, as people were mashing up the floor dancing ! Brilliant tune and great memories !
wow
Great story!
Memory ❣️ for days and extra days
The magic of Rocksteady❤️💛💚💜♥️🎶🔥🔥
Im listening to this classic. April 2024.. Soundtrack to my younger life...The best time to grow up in UK ❤

Someone 2024 - 2090
Im here
We are always here..eh🇨🇦
Yes, ever since the early seventies.
Wow wow.love it.
Who grow up with this song
Jamaica produced some of the best music and artist ever
Same with the USA but Jamaica don't get the credit they deserve.
@@Lerf8🤦🏻♂️ you mustn’t listen to reggae legends like Peter tosh or bob marley who got all the recognition in the world
that's true baby
@@JamesBaker-kv6jvtrue but not enough people really listen to their messages and just think they're catchy songs
Desmond is the reason I love Jamaican music. He opened the door, I walked in in wonder. Thanks isn't enough.
Just make sure u don't walk in the door to the actual jamaica though. U will lose your organs
@@adolfryan1930my parents got chased by a man with a shotgun when they went but if you go into the hills and into the countryside where they haven't been corrupted by tourism you'll meet some of the nicest people but i wouldnt go anywhere without a tour guide
You're right they don't make joke laugh...
2024 and still sounds Beautiful
Love that vintage 60s sound. Nothing like it today.
I’m 25& I can agree with that
I’m 25 and can disagree with that
I'm 21 and I can come back in 4 years to give my verdict
Truly marvellous and a fascinating look at Jamaica in the 60's
Very fascinating🤔
wooow
Muy buena pero hace una referencia al mundo en la forma de vivir los jamaiquinos en esa epoca
@@mildredmunozgutierrez6936 damals war man bescheiden und mit wenigem zufrieden. Doch heute hat man alles und will noch mehr. Es ist eine traurige Welt. Immerhin gibt es 🎶
@@renespeich7697 not necessarily my friend- the key is and always is, love.
reggae is timeless music
R.I.P.Desmond Dekker!!!
This rocksteady masterwork just takes it's sweet time telling its very important story of rude boys and their downfall and keeps me at the edge of my seat all the way through. I heard this years after "Israelites" and figured out in short order that Desmond Dekker's success was no accident; that he was an absolute master of his genre. And I'm still learning from him to this day.
Most people (anywhere) think of beaches, grand hotels, and vacations when they think of Jamaica. When I think about it I think of music. Much love to Jamaica from the States.
It took me almost a decade to find this song. I heard this for the first time in Grand Theft Auto TBoGT back in 2014 and the melody just got stuck in my head. Happy to finally find this masterpiece.
I know the feeling!
Wow
That feeling is better than anything I can think of
One of the reasons I became a huge reggae fan is because of great songs like this.
Rock steady not reggae. I used to walk those streets as a likkle yout inna Jamaica.
@@kwacou4279this is Rocksteady, slowed down version of ska.
Love this song . Desmond Decker & the Aces Forever ! Rocksteady began by local musicians on the Island passing around almost impossible to get American rock & roll vinyl records that would get SCRATCHED up by so much use . Playing along with a scratched beat evolved into a " one drop " guitar rhythm , to " rock steady " to Ska to Reggae . Apparently , Decker was also the man who got Bob Marley his first record deal . God Bless Desmond Decker . R.I.P
I'm 23 and love it

Brought tears to my eyes, it was all so simple then.
Saw Desmond more than a few times live, shed a tear the day he left us.. Best tune for me... Pickney Gal
The best tune for me Young Generation 😏
I'm sad that Mr. Bill Hicks left us, back in '97.
You have good taste.
Have a blessed, or mushroom filled week.
You can get it if you really want

Takes me home where I was born. Memories galore. What happened to those days.....when I remenis, I want to turn the clock back around. I dig the whole video 🎉❤😅
Always loved this timeless classic & this social historical video is the icing on the cake - what a rare gem.🌴💎💕
remember my dad buying this record when it first came out (I was a kid)and he played it over and over again , my mum was not pleased
valerie campbell Namesake this is back when i was 5 yrs old Seeing those J.O.S buses remains me of my father. He drove them throughout the 60s.Those times we were still using pounds& shillings.
The Israelites was the 1st reggae record I bought
CLASSIC SKA BY MR. DRSMOND Dekker. NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID. 🔊🔊🔊🎤🎼🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I well both of us,my deceased husband, & we went all over Spanish town ,actually stayed there where Aston's grandfather was bed ridden but this handsome elderly man had a 🐝 beehives business & he would amaze me of how much foreseen spiritual humble & the warm hearted attachment of holy spirits attached to him. For instance one I saw a man in an orange shirt pacing his balcony & mentioned it to Aston. He immediately woke up his bedridden Grandfather, which the Spanish town tribe & the neborhood all admired & highly respected often refers to him as "Uncle Stan, he looked at me & Aston,& said his family are happy & Joyous to have a beautiful Indian woman walking thru the home & land. There's so much to relate to this trip,I was flabbergasted..True & intense journey. All in all,I didn't want to leave ,but Aston was pretty anxious. Also he named Aston (Del) probably a hindu name. I'm amazed I'm getting deeper with mentioning a part of my life,brakes up Chosen Angel 😇 😊❤❤🎉

.. I WILL, THANK YOU AND BEST WISHES ..
Were you under a Rock ?
White dress : love how she dealt with the cars flying bye- she owned it!
this was a classic ska sway- we did it as a tribute before we tore into a more twisted flurry- those were good times!
from a 50+, thank you for coming to us, you made our shared country great, we would never be the same with out you
Classic example of the rocksteady riddim, along with a great vocal performance by one of the top vocalists in Jamaica
When Motown ruled the mainland, this was what the islands jammed to.
Q2
Hated motown loved reggae
from Japan. Thank you.
Great memories of my childhood.
I just found this song and have been listening to it on repeat. This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Feels like I've known it since forever. So peaceful and light, it just makes you smile. This is how music is supposed to feel.
I knew and loved the tune itself for ages, but this is one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen. The lady in the white dress with the records in her hands is so stunning and the rudies with the Vauxhall as well! There's no good system besides a sound system! Desmond Dekker-one of the All Time Greats! Thanks a million for sharing this gem!
Thanks I think is has some class without being loud
Agree - I am in love with this woman who had the commitment to do this very stylized movement throughout - w/ 45 records in hand, no less! In the middle of street scenes full of interest & color. The sparseness & sort of randomness of the overall movements keep something of the Ska feel, for me. Just a gem.

The young lady reminds me of Millie Small (My boy lollipop)😆
CyberstormDJTeam For real , seeing those J.O.S Buses reminds me of kids days riding them .A few of them are still around though not operating.
😮This that music that had emotions and meaning behind it, these are the songs that speak to your heart ❤️ and soul😊
I used to work in Michigan with some older Jamaicans and I would sing this song with them and my friends wondered how the hell I knew this song and I had to teach them about Ska.
Oh hell yeah
so damn cool you rule!!🤪🤪😀🇯🇲🙏🏿
Classic Reggae. 👊🏿
That's how the Dancehall ting start. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
This was even before Reggae which dancehall came from. This is Ska or Rocksteady
Love you daddy from Jamaica ...you're tune RIP...73 years old
This song is "Magnificent"
Whos here from Vivarium????? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 love this jam
One of the VERY few videos I've seen of true Late Ska/Early Rocksteady dance style as it went away from "The Ska"! I love this so much.. The gal in the white dress and the guys swinging their arms up left then right! It's BIG.
One of the most amazing pieces of footage Ive ever seen on urban Jamaica ,,,new or old,,,,Id give my right arm to live ONE DAY in that day and age to see what the vibe was like,,,to me it looks like everyone was peace lovin God fearing, social and chill wit dat der gut Rocksteady playin on the turntable,,,
This is what Jamaican music sounds like in the sixties, but they don't make them like this any more
Those dance moves ....a long time Jamaican a come up dem # movement
Oh how wonderful is this? I love this. I played lead guitar in a band in 1970 and we played this. I love it to death.
YES! Big Big tune!!! Rip The GREAT Desmond Dekker The Israelite!!
Popped up on Radio6 today.Old tunes like this have such a nice vibe&make me smile.🎶😊👍
timeless, classic and just positive.
Merci man ✌️🍹💯
Those beautiful days will never no never return.
I'm only 24 years old but i discovered great tune when i was like 14 , it always takes me backk many blessings from Aruba!🇦🇼
The white dress gal that trance dance through time mesmerize me.
Thanks!!! I was wondering when someone was going to mention her. And so perfectly poetically put, too. Best comment, yet, sir!
++Cool The Fool++ And where is she now? Anyone know?
@@JohnSmith-pd1fz "And where is she now? Anyone know?"
---
Somewhere in her 70s, if not dead.
That was an actual dance we used to do back in the sixties to this music!
.... in London, as the original "skinheads" in '67/68/69. It was a very underground scene back then.
God. I love this. Such a crisp clear sound with nice bass. Amazing film too. Well done. Thanks.
Vivarium got me here 😍 damn the song soo good 👌
This joyous dancing gladens my soul especially from the barefooted boys. 🎼🎶🎙🎶
Saw Desmond Dekker and Madness back in the late 70s....he sure got them skinheads dancing :)
Chay. Bode. Love this comment ! 😂👍🏻
💚💛♥️
Back in the day every skin head group was not synonymous with racism
@@HopelessSinner Thanks for the comment, put a BIG SMILE on my face :)
@@TheBLACKMQQN Very true, most skins were into the fusion of musical Cultures and Two Tone is a great example :)
Chay. Bode.
You're very welcome! They were certainly the good old days as far as music is concerned!
And I still love a geezer with a shaved head!!😊
Thank you - Just beautiful Ska in it`s purest form!
Give thanks Trojan Records for 50 years of my favorite music!
Love this song. It's on the Harder They Come sound track. My favorite sound track!
Love that soundtrack.
the film clips here are wonderful. Thanks so much Trojan Records!
One of my all time favorite tune & brilliant footage of life in 67.;-D
Special Ed-'Im the Magnificent!' Brought me here. 😊
Ich glaub da hat wirklich jeder Einzelne ordentlich Rythmus im Blut...schön ❤ ♥️ 💜
Omg😂😂😂what a time and a memory.😍🥰💯💥
I really value seeing this vintage bit of film. First, most of it is of Slipe Rd in the vicinty of the second Woolworth's, in Kingston and the Bank of Nova Scotia is still there on Slipe Rd on the left hand side. About 2 shots of Half Way Tree with the Tree as it's no longer there. Those were different times; sometimes hard but sweet in so many ways - I miss them.
Original Regaee music💚💛♥️ Jah live♥️💛💚 JAH BLESS 🌍
First single I bought as a kid, was Desmond Dekker , the Israelites 👍🏻😎
Thx for bring this rare tape on the net 🤗.. Love and peace ✌️.. Lion of Africa, desmond!, 👌
Never heard this song before. I love ❤️ it !!! 😊
You need to check out the soundtrack to ‘The Harder They Come’

Who are the 57 simpletons who disliked this ?
I don't know, but "57 Simpletons" is a good name for an all-white ska band.
@@giuseppelogiurato5718 good name for any band......maybe even an orchestra.
jamaicans that thought dislike was dis i like

The first time I heard this was in the film "The Harder They Come" ❤
I felt as though I was in a time machine. What a trip.
Im from New Zealand and our best ever movie "Once were warriors"went global a huge hit in film the sequel had this song in it, it was nostalgia overload,took me awhile to find out who it was 😅
007 Licensed to kill - Absolutely fantastic video and obviously a killer tune.
What a great classic tune, totally timeless, and I love that early footage of Jamaica☝️
I heard this music first time in 80s, a very young teenager. It melts my heart. Very touching. God bless you guys ❤❤❤
Lovely tribute to Desmond just now on Cerys Matthew's fab Sunday show on Bbc6music today! Great to hear 007, Israelites, and my fave, It Mek!
Fantastic clip !!!!!!👍
The rude boys and rude girls a skanking. What a heat! Major classic from Dekker and the Aces. *Rest In Power.*
Nostalgia. My childhood.
Awesome enough said
came here after reading about Keenan Milton certainly the best skateboarder of an era choosing this song for a video. He died in a freak accident 5 July 2001
Oh, I'm on the good music side of UA-cam.
