Me and U . . .
Finally got to meet Daddy U Roy: "The Teacher", "The Originator", etc!
The most popular of the founding fathers of the Jamaican DJ scene (said to be the inspiration/catalyst for Rap) and still on great form, despite his 65 years.
He played a great upbeat set of most of his classics from the last 30+ years.
Last saw him in '73-ish at Hammersmith Palais when he was really at his peak and he totally stormed the place.
U Roy held Number 1, 2 and 3 for twelve consecutive weeks (!) in the Jamaican charts back in 1970 a feat that has never, nor is likely to be matched, anywhere in the world.
