This is the latest Podcast on the great Rocksteady duo - Keith & Tex. Herman Sang - Jamaica Way Reggae Podcast
Herman’s brother – Claude Sang Jr., formed a singing duo with Derrick Harriott, called The Jiving Juniors. Claude was a schoolmate of Derrick Harriott at Excelsior College in Jamaica and after the two entered and won the Vere John’s Talent Show at The Palace Theatre in 1957. Claude and Harriott enlisted Herman to play piano on all of their shows and eventually their recordings. Herman Sang comments, “I was still going to school at Kingston College and we would play in Kingston and also outside the area. ‘Claude and Harriott’ composed a song called ‘Lollipop Girl.’ That was a big hit! We went on to be very popular covering songs by The Coasters group. We had big shows where we opened for Lloyd Price, Fats Domino, and James Brown.” The Secret Origins of The Fencebeater – Colin Moore
 (l-r) Colin Moore, Ray Hurford
This podcast is taken from a March 1992 cassette interview by Ray Hurford (of Small Axe) with The Fencebeater. The Fencebeater is a man by the name of Colin Moore. Colin was a very active member of the London Reggae community, produced reggae on vinyl and CD (including Kendrick Andy’s CD “Another Night in The Ghetto”), and wrote for the reggae magazine “Small Axe.” Ray Hurford is the Editor of Small Axe and has been publishing books and magazines from the late 1970’s until present date. Colin Moore passed away at a young age from a heart attack a number of years ago.
We had been searching for the cassette used in this podcast for a few years and have just recently located it. The cassette is a rambling discussion between Hurford and Moore. The duo review years of music reviews by Moore in the pages of “Small Axe” and try to track the secret origins of the first use of the title “Fencebeater.” Moore also sent two cassette tapes with musical selections, a portion of which is included in this podcast. If there is demand, another podcast can be created which can include a full selection by The Fencebeater. Colin’s selections were influenced by this writer, so there are numerous Supercat and Michael Rose tracks. If you want more of Colin’s selections, we would just need some comments made in Podomatic. As you will discover in this podcast, Colin Moore has a great voice for radio and has great knowledge of Jamaican music. Whether you knew Colin Moore or not, there is a great deal to be learned from what is said in this podcast and also in his never-ending interest in Jamaican music and culture. Colin’s style and approach to the music is to be admired. He was a positive person, was generous and genuine. When I visited Colin in 1994, he gave me a big stack of his duplicate vinyl. We had a great discussion as we recorded a cassette as Colin relayed an ocean of details on each selection. This podcast is also a feature on the magazine and books by Small Axe. Many of which are available to this day. If you would like to purchase the magazines and books discussed in this podcast, just visit the Small Axe website: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/smallaxe/ We hope you enjoy this bit of history with a snapshot of The Fencebeater. Buju Banton Interview and MusicThis interview is the most viewed of all of our posted interviews on Youtube at the channel “Reggae Jamaica Way.” This podcast also features some of that interview. If it works well, we will feature more in this format (Your feedback is appreciated). Throughout the interview, Buju talks about his music, we thought a podcast would be perfect. During the interview, Buju maintained direct eye contact most all the time and was very short and to the point and I had to work to keep the proper flow. I always listen when people site a favorite artist and Buju is one of them. Early on “The Fencebeater” Colin Moore told me how great Buju Banton was and how big he was going to get. Colin was very knowledgeable and I listened and Colin was right! A friend told me about seeing Buju in a dance in Kingston in the 1980’s before Buju buss. He said Buju was just transitioning to the deep voice style, growling out his lyrics. My friend said that Buju dj’d for hours and was stepping to the side and actually spitting up blood. *True story. Whatever you think, Buju Banton is making a journey as an artist and as a man. Plenty of great music and stories along the way. If you like this one, we can set up another as Buju talked about many of his tunes.

SUMMARY This podcast features James Bond's association with the island of Jamaica. Jamaica is exotic, remote, and mysterious and that how it fits so well for Ian Fleming's novels. Fleming lived in Jamaica at Goldeneye and loved the island's culture, people, flora and fauna and much more. James Bond and Jamaica have had strong connections for over 50 years. This podcast focuses on that connection with discussions by Don Topping (Radio announcer and actor in To Live and let Die) and with Keith Lyn (Lead singer for Byron Lee and The Dragaonaires, also featured in Dr. No). We also supply numerous tunes from Dr. No and James Bond music with an Island flavor. Enjoy and please supply us with comments & feedback! Selections: James Bond theme - John Barry Orchestra Skatalites - James Bond - Keith Lyn Interview Jump Up - Eric Rodgers James bond Theme - Rolad Alphonso Don Topping Interview Mango Tree - Eric Rodgers James Bond Girl - The Cimarons Mento From Jamaica Part Two - JA Way
This is great Jamaican music from musical history. It is vivacious and fun and a fond memory to many of your relatives. There's so much that we can say, but listen to the Podcast and enjoy!
