It was a real honour to sit down with Copeland Forbes in Jamaica. He is one of the most consequential figures in the history of modern Jamaican music. Through his roles as personal and tour manager for some of the most iconic personalities in music, including Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Mighty Diamonds, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs and Luciano. Forbes has been a witness to and a participant in some of the most intriguing dramas in the annals of modern popular music and shares his personal opinions on why The Wailers broke up, accompanying Peter Tosh to visit a bush doctor in Africa, the story behind Electric Boogie and so much more!
His highly anticipated book, Reggae My Life Is has been more than a decade in the making and is the first-ever to be published under the auspices of Downsound Books, the new literary publishing arm of businessman Joe Bogdanovich’s Downsound Entertainment, promoters of Reggae Sumfest.

I know Copeland very well. I was able to be his assistant when The Third World Band was given the "Sense Of Purpose" Tour by Epic Records. Copeland is such a stellar person and he always uplifted everyone around him. A legend! A visionary! A gentleman! I salute you Copie! I love you dearly! Respect! ❤
That's my Dad. Great Man.
Here is tĥe authentic Jamaican music/ reggae historian. Along with your experiences and exposure, you are in an undeniable position, where you can effect the reggae narrative as it relates to the country of Jamaica, where the music was originated.
Knowledgeable man history Jamaican will never forget
WISH I WAS DOING HIS JOB , MEETING ALL THESE PEOPLE AND TRAVELLING
Maximum respect to Copeland Forbes. I have such high esteem for him personally and professionally.
Copeland is a wealth of information. Anytime I have spent around him has always been a great education. He is truly a legend 🎉
I heard about this guy before, but I never met him in person. I realized that everyone is trying to be the first about, reggae music. Which it just started in the late 1960s, but the original Jamaican music fraternity is mento and. All the other music came from mento and, it is around for hundreds of years. Any Jamaican that is old enough will tell you, that the man who started the searching for Jamaican singers is. A man named Vere John opportunities show long before this guy was born,where he found the wailers, John Holt, Alton Ellis, Millie Small, Dobby Dobson, Derrick Morgan, just to mentioned a few of the names them. I knew him in the 1960s,he is the foundation member of the Jamaican music fraternity. Also the very first Jamaican who recommended a song was Harry Belanfonte songs,I remembered as a schoolboy. They used his songs in dancing classes,it was called folks songs.Man like Duke Ried is the 1950s playing sound system,I was a boy in the 1950s. There is a lot of elderly people like Joe Higgs from Trench town, also Joe Gibbs who was a producer, Prince Buster, Coxene. Reggae music is very young comparing to ska, rockstead, reggae music only came in 1968. There is a lot of controversies about who first and, from my understanding. Because I was old enough to know about music in 1968, when Larry Marshall did a song named Narry Goat 🐐 version. I heard that he went by Coxene and,he asked him to do the song. Because the person who was supposed to do it, didn't turned up. So Larry Marshall did the song in 1968 and,it was credited to him as the very first reggae song. I useto lived near to King 👑 Tubbys studio and sound system, so I know a lot of singers. Anyway the foundation member of the modern music fraternity in Jamaica,is Vere John opportunities show. I useto listened to him on RJR radio station 🚉,he died in 1966 same year Hail Selassie came to Jamaica. A house cannot built without a foundation, but a lot of credit should go to Vere John opportunities show, Harry Belanfonte songs. Vere John opportunities show is doing music from 1924 in New York City promoting music, and returned to Jamaica in 1939. Before a lot of them was born and, he started recruiting people to sing. Then Duke Ried also Coxene useto competed, for singers. I remembered the days when Derrick Morgan and Prince Buster in the 1960s, having their musical wars. That the pm Hugh Shearer called up both of them and asked,both of them to stop it. They were the most popular singers in Jamaica, during those days I remember those days in the 1960s.

Thank you so much for this! Both of you are great at your job! Mr. Forbes, thank you for sharing these stories! I want to know so much more about Peter Tosh! I will get your book!
The interviewer should have just let him flow for x-amount of hours. Then he would've at least captured ALL the knowledge and ALL of these gems for posterity. He could then break them down into multiple parts and release it as a series.
Copeland has so many stories, it would take days, not hours to capture all of his knowledge! There is a part 2 coming up! 👊🏽
There are levels to this game and you just unlocked another level 🔥⚡

52:00 Judy Mowatt has claimed that she saw the stigmata in Haile Selassie’s hand. I wish Copeland spoke on that.
Was Judy lying, embellishing or was it true? Did Copeland see stigmata?
