Toots and the Maytals - Pressure Drop

This is a very nice little documentary, especially if you’re a ska-rocksteady-reggae nerd like me.
There are interviews with lots of old reggae gods, several of whom are no longer with us five years later (Toots, Lee Perry, Bunny Lee).
Dandy Livingstone, aged 74, features throughout because he's so good to listen to. He has a beautiful speaking voice, is very composed and happy to share memories. At one point, he sits down at his keyboard and sings a bit of 'A Message to You, Rudy', and it's just wonderful.
There are dramatizations of Jamaicans in London in the 60s and 70s that are low key and not jarring or cringey like you might expect.
'If that shuffle not in the music, it's not reggae' - Bunny Lee

The fantastic Toots Hibbert and The Maytals. Consistently one of my favorite songs ever. Plus an excellent cover of it by The Clash. Which is where I first heard it.

I've loved ska and reggae for a lotta years but now I'm going and really listening to Toots and the Maytals and they're just amazing. Toots sadly passed at the beginning of the pandemic for pandemic reasons.
But like. Listen to this song.

This rules so hard.
And there are cover versions by The Specials (UK two-tone ska) and The Clash and I'm excited to listen to them.
Also, they did a big collaboration album with lots of famous musicians in the mid-2000s, where they re-recorded a bunch of their hits. The album has The Skatalites and Shaggy and Willie Nelson and Reba McEntire, among others!! ... and Eric Clapton for some reason. He was on this song!
I wanna cover it too. I wonder if we can get a good Hammond organ sound out of the keyboard.
