Disco Song in Rockers (at the Uptown club)

[Samsuz]

I and I salute you brothers

Does anybody know the name of the disco song playing at the Uptown Club in the movie Rockers, when Horsemouth and Dirty Harry get in the club?

In the VHS version, it was "turn the beat around", but they replace it by another song in the DVD version, but what is the name of that song?

Thanks

Jah love

Think their talking about the tune before Mickey dread holes him self up in the DJ booth. I've been perfecting my Horsermouth dance since viewing the scene...

[I-Lion Tafari]

LOL Usually, people ask for the reggae song
And there´s no Mikey Dread in any booth...the man is Richard "Dirty Harry" Hall, a true hornsman (sax)

[jordandance]

Shit, I always thought was Mickey Dread. Noted.

It's that dam American disco & rnb, that forced and settled itself onto the youth of that time (eventually bringing about the end of the "golden era" and the beginning of the start of that bad bwoy dancehall/ragga/bashment crap!) Im not from that generation but I am a rasta passionately conscious, and I dnt mean to disrespect, but those were the type of recordings which brought about the beginning of the end of original roots culture, what turned the majority of JA and its vibe away from Africa and culture! towards American - (disco, rnb and eventually hip hop). Look carefully, see what's coming out of JA today (what a disgrace!) I bet Winston Rodney, Joseph Hill, Peter Tosh ect.. would think "what the f%&$ have they done to our music!"

big appreciation to the known soldiers who still record inna conscious style.

Im a youth man not even born from the golden era who is mad an sayin' what the f%&$ happened to the yute! Forgive the blow-out but it had to be said.

@ culture, better get your facts together.
r n b and soul/ funk /discohave always been very popular in the Dancehall.

the first jamaican popmusic was an immitation of American Rn B shuffles, which later turned into ska.

toasting was at first introduced by Jamaican soundsystem dj's trying to sound like American radio anouncers

the musical change in the usa from RnB to soul in the mid 60s (motown, stax) was followed jamaica by the change from ska to rock steady.

The beginning of funk and black consciousness in the late 60s USA (vietnam protests, black power, james brown) was followed in Jamaica by reggae and rasta lyrics

The disco/philly sound of the early 70s translated into the flying cymbals sounds and later into rockers and steppers.

since this is the musical era most people associate with roots, i guess most of your favourite songs have disco influences!

you can go on like that, the evolution of both Jamaican and American (black) music go hand in hand, Jamaica usually following its big cousin, but also leading sometimes (Jamaican dub and dj music was off course very influential in the development of rap, hip hop and dance)

culture, what on earth are you on about......?

[super ape]

sometimes disco is a lot of fun and musically underrated. people bitch about disco this and disco that, but the disco beat has been used in all kinds of music since it's birth.
get on up on the floor and shake your funky groove thang with the ladies!
