I am the magnificent
I'm backed by the shack of a soul boast
Most turning storming sound soul
I am double-U, O, O, O
And I'm still up here again
Hey
Work, work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Work it up one time
Work it on baby
Much, much, much, much
Give me one time
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh
Break it up
Push your hips now
You're fine, baby
You're fine
I am the magnificent, double-U, O, O, O
Good God, too much, I like it
Soul party
Work it up one time, work it two time
Shack it, back it
I am the magnificent baby, double-U, O, O, O
Enter the shack at the back of your soul, baby
Work it out, huh
Hit me one time
Two time now

This song was produced by my dad (The Late Winston Riley) formally of the reggae iconic group "The Techniques"
Héhé ❤
Wow get YOU ! kewwlll!!! ❤
Pretty amazing as this song has had such a legacy, influential for so many decades.
one of the songs of my childhood. your dad is a legend
Nice one
Everyone on my council estate had this album and was playing it all summer long in 1971. Trojan reggae brought white and black youth together. Spirit of ‘69.
Classic reggae!!
Yup, true, i was there, northbank Highbury etc
When the spirit of 69 flowed through us all - right down to the toes of my Cherry Reds 👍
Yes!!!!! I was stompin' to it too in Derby England in 1970 .
Creo q toda canción trae recuerdos de as lgo en la vida,No importa el ldioma q hablemos,La música así como nuestro CREADOR....Es universal !! ❤😊❤
Pure geniuis from Dave and Ansel. A simple melody but so many creative touches, beyond perfection!!!!
Hit me one time
I thought my copy was warped when he says " one time", till I realised he says it on my Club Reggae album as well.......Dave's obviously chosen the American vernacular where "more" is less required..... I wonder if Daft Punk thought the same! 🤔
It doesn't seem like 50 years since this was a big hit in the UK, a real classic.
this tune in the U.S. stalled at # 15 on billboards hot 100 in the summer of 1971, this tune did get local air play, and I loved this tune when it hit the airwaves. I still have the "SINGLE" too!!!.( released on "BIG TREE" records--- the B side was the instrumental of the same tune).you know it is a great tune when you play it 52 years later, and never get tired of hearing it!!!
Soul power
We still here in '24....W.O.O.O..magnificent
I wish I had been the magnificent W.O.O.O. My life would have been much more fun.
Levis stay press,docers,ben sherman,braces and harrington jacket.Those were the days.
Sharp… what about a crombie?
If you could afford that stuff
Two Tone suit green and black...cromber or sheep skin...and clockwork orange.
I was 8 years old, the first song I really loved, don't know why, but it's never left me. Came looking today 52 years later.
Theresa Pierre Louis, Grandma Mayo Pierre, John Baptise Louis, Rudy Amedie, Mowis, Billa, Uncle Gee!, Priscilla Amedie, Uncle, Rainaz Octave R.I.P. This track was played a lot during that period of their lives 1971. That is 53 years ago to date 8.6.2024. Wow! That is over half a century in time that has flown by.
Classic song. Imaginative animation.
I am 42 years old, I have known this song since I was a simple little boy. My uncle always played this music at family parties. Here in Brazil, this song is known in all the peripheries.
11 years old when it came out and first reggae tune I ever had heard ...life changer...opened my eyes to new musical possibilities and I’ve loved world music ever since.
My thoughts exactly!
I got the original
Double barrel
Ansell brothers
Found it in Florida the late 80s- early 90s
And I loved it
Today was listening to the scratch perry essentials and recognized the music style of double barrel
To my surprise it was produced by none other then
Trojan records!
Wow
So this time predates your discovery date !
It’s ok it shows how amazing it actually is !
Timeless almost !
John “the spinning needle”
Gorzo
Yep, fantastic ain't it! I was 10½ years old so not far behind you
Thank you for NOT spoiling this song with Ads and letting it play through, I enjoyed it in FULL :)
“I am the magnificent…W OOO….”
pure, unadulterated magic
Always used to hear this at the funfair on the switchback ride.
I've just been blasted back into 1971 awesome
I was around 10 years old when this track came out
Reminds me of the summer of 1971, and hearing it on Southport Fair.
This magnificent reggae song was a huge hit in Chicago in 1971. I was 8 years old, and this tune has remained in my head for all these years.Thank you Collins Brothers, for your wonderful music!
Don't ever stop being the Magnificent W-O-O-O!
Lubertdas. Not trying to be a "know it all".......even though the Artistes are listed as Dave and Ansel Collins,the first listed Artiste was named as Dave Barker(real name,David John Crook)......Ansel Collins (keyboardist)was His cousin.....
They weren't brothers. It's Dave Barker on vocals, along with Ansil Collins.
In '71 I was 12 when this came on the radio...I wasn't use to this...I was listening to everything too ten...and it was great...but when Double Barrel came on... everything about it was completely new to me...the reverb and the WORK- WORK-WORK and MUSH- MUSH-MUSH... and the piano was so simple but meaningful...8 months ago my Bible study guy also into this era of music ( a whitey ...😮😂 ) asked about it and couldn't remember much of it...but his saying W-OOO totally brought it back instantly to me ...a no brainer...so I told him the title and I told him it was a huge favorite since I was a kid...I have the original 45 of course....doesn't everyone....!!
I'm here, 67 years old and I love reggae as much now as when I was 15 dancing at the Howard Mallet in Cambridge. How I miss yesterday's music. Absolute rubbish nowadays!
Bishop's Stortford lad myself, born 1956 and like you loved reggae all my life. Live in tye Caribbean for 3 years as well, I'm spoilt :)
Me too I was 14. Great times . And music. Tamla Motown soul never be a time like it again. ❤️❤️
As a young middle class White Kid, I always smiled quietly to myself when my mates started going-on about Bob Marley!
Like, as I was into this "Reggae Music" ( I know it's strictly SKA , ok ) - about 5 years before he came on the Scene in the UK 😊 and when it was some "funny kind of Rock Music" by this group called The Wailers.
What a reggae anthem to celebrate in the year of 2021
Hey, did you realize this song is 50 years old? Good tune then and it's still a good one now!
I remember them being on Top Of The Pops. Pure.🔥🔥🔥🔥
This made air play when I was in high school. Some of the hardest days of my life. I bought the 45 rpm copy of this and when I was at my lowest, I would play this as loud as my record changer would go, and covered the lyrics as loud as I could. Then, I felt much, much better about life.
Music is a great healer !!! I've used songs that way all my life. Music will be your best friend if no person is willing or able to do so.
Still got all of my 45s, this one included.
It also did well in the USA peaking at #22 in the awesome hot summer of 1971. The song is indeed magnificent !
Skinhead dance floor classic. Strobe lighting. Boots and Braces.
Late 60s Early 70s.
Skinheads Life Would Never Be The Same.
When i was a kid, my older brothers would have all the neighborhood friends over. All were 15-17 and seemed bigger than life to me. They always played this song before going out and terrorizing the neighborhood. I always loved the piano in it
I've spent 48+ years trying to find this song. I just heard it on an old American Top 40. I'm so happy!
I know what you mean, I have been trying to find it for years also. So glad I found it. Never could remember the name.
I even forgot it had lyrics, I was thinking it was just instrumental until I heard; "I am the magnificent!"
Then it all came back to me.
Fifty years ? To me it seems like yesterday when I first heard this !
Ive known this tune years but only found it recently thanks to my sister thanks sis loves ya and what a tune!
Can't beat the classics, I remember getting this tune to play in a radio show in secondary school, weeks later it was number one. it's a tune I never get tired of hearing.
What a good summer with this tune... Spirit of 69
71
Sorry Boss, 1969 was a good year for tunes....... but this is from 1971!
30 yrs later and never knew this was even a sample lol
Sly Dunbar On The Drums ♥️💛💚
Good to know, Sly has been lickin' these drums for some time now
Loved it, iwas 12. Rushed home after school every night to hear "Yorkie" - Lionel York - and his top ten on 3AK. That station doesnt exist anymore. /(Melb. Aust.)
Wow! Was HE? Well, contrary to the comments on here, this is a VALUED snippet of information....nuff thanks!!
Reggae / ska . This is THE tune . 👍
Grew up in Kings Heath Birmingham, listening to these classics lol. Looked forward to Top of the Pops every Thursday and would dance away in the living room lol. Good memories. Back when it seemed people got along….
I was 12 years old when this song was released and it was #1 in my personal charts for weeks. Completely forgot about it till just now when i heard a little piece playing in the background on a tv series. Brings back memories of me in my room playing singles on my first pick up 🔊🎹🎤🎶🎶
I was 14 when this song came out i am sixty seven now still love this song makes me feel young again !😅😅😅
Time to address the elephant in the room.
In the intro, Dave says...
"I'm backed WITH the shack of a soul boast. . . most *THUNDERING...* storming... sound of Soul!"
Also, in the third stanza, he says "Work it ON ME one time..."
Just had to make it known. LONG LIVE THE MAGNIFICENTS!
Love it, still got the album.
Top Rank Saturday mornings for under 18’s Cardiff 14 at time - so good ❤
Absolutely brilliant
Bass is right on this one.
Piano is over the top!
Definitely turn this one up and drop the bass.
My all time favorite reggae tunes!
Epic tune 👍🏼🇬🇬
this reminds me of the Ilford palaise on a friday night Kevo, pisea
When my lil bro & I were younger we must have picked up 25-30 copies of this 45 in Kentucky alone. I used to play it on the radio, dancefloors & rolly-ride systems constantly. One of the first US Jamaican break throughs
One of the strangest vocals on any record. But also so memorable!
Alltime skinhead favorit! Think back about many many great nighters. I‘m in a dancing mood…again! 😎
The sound of my youth right there :)
My first ever 45 rpm record purchase 50p 1970 A classic sound!!😎🤟
I love this song takes me back to my teenage years
I was 4 years old when this was released and it's my earliest memory of music on tv. A wonderful, exciting record that remains as cool as ever. Thank you, Dave and Ansel. (And Sly!)
I was oh, 11-12 years old, and would play this in the jukebox at the local pool-room EVERY time. Still a BRILLIANT sound today-
I AM THE MAGNIFICENT WOOO!
Thank God for youtube when you want to find memories
Love it
Played a v.a cassette from the 70's on my tape deck today and it brought me here! Nice song
I've always loved this song, reminds me of when i use to buy weed from Prof in Brixton,i always think of him,a real good man,is he still of this world ? i dont know,but im sure i'll meet him on the next one.Thanks for the upload.
Tonic suits box tops & loafers and this magic music I am love it....
25 anos, Guarulhos-SP... Fui longe!
Used to listen to this in the car on an 8-track when we drove through Europe back in 1970s.
My mum worked in a youth club and this was played constantly. Aww brings back great memories. Hume Manchester
I was six years old when this was in the charts 'can even remember the house we were living in when it was it being played on the radio' I have always liked this song. Thank you for such fantastic music Dave and Ansell Collins.
Pião de Vida Loka - 🇧🇷
Thanks Dave for the joys this song has given me over the years.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Pure happiness in a tune love it 💚💚🔥🔥🔥
My funeral song!!
2nd reggae UK Number 1 - after Israelites by Desmond Dekker and The Aces.
First time I've ever heard this song yesterday and absolutely love it
SE VIDA LOKA ...
dave was dave barker, a fine falsetto singer who also specialized in vocal interjections, the keyboardist was ansell collins, and a young sly dunbar was on drums.
Kentish town, camden, on the road to Madness.
Never ending best groove ever since the 70's. Shave your head skank your feet and hold this shiny smile high enough so it can reverb all around.
WOOO
Music is - by far - the greatest man has created... and this a beatufull example... ONE LOVE!
A fantastic video tribute to such a great and seminal reggae song.
Thanks Trojan Records.
TRILHA SONORA DO GUETO UM PIÃO DE VIDA LOKA
So many pp says I'm too young to like me this kind of music but...
What else can I do?
This is real music, this is Trojan Records
Cracking video 💥👍🏽💥
Besides my 1911 this was the favorite 45 ever for this 1980s Los Angeles Rude Boy, Untouchables🏁🇧🇴🇯🇲🇺🇸
Real music they don't make music like this no more brilliant majestic
Can't begin to describe my amazement when I first heard this choon coming over the airwaves of Fab 208 on my tinny tranny but, suffice it to say, I have never heard anything quite like it since.......................stunning. The DJs on Luxy referred to it as both "Italian Reggae" and "Japanese Reggae" - neither one accurate, of course!! Even my dad, God bless him, who loved classical music, was in awe of Ansel Collins playing TWO keyboards on TOTP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
classic tune! love it
A boss tune this! A must on the dancefloor
Stand out track/ lyric. Was then (a while ago) ! Still is.
Wicked wicked tune, thanks for uploading.
this is a really cool song, remember it when it was on the radio...
Thank you mum and dad!!
I love this song ❤memories Classic Music !!!
Dit was onze intro van onze drive in discotheek
Thanks to you father dave broughs got your yelping so great. You ate always the magnificent in our hearts happy fifiteth anniversary.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
perfection in 167 seconds - if you're not dancing to this you're never dancing to anything
I couldn't agree more!
Ahhh. Back in the day when radio was king. This got a LOT of airplay in the summer of '71, along with the AM top 40 rock. But this one...was Rock Steady!
I was a skinhead back in the day....this reminds me of them great times!!!!
Love it love it
Que padre y alegre canción de los 70s, gracias por subirla
Man, this shit was so weird for me when I was twelve or so. My parents listened to nothing but country music. Then I heard Dave and Ansel on the radio. WOW.
Proper music
