LEE SCRATCH PERRY BLACK ARK INTERVIEW 

So glad I got to see him in person. One of the most memorable days of my life!

Genius is the right word to describe this man. He is tuned differently. He is like a radio that can pick up certain frequency that other cannot

"To me what reggae mean, it interpret a dog that has a piece of cloth, tearing it up together. Have you ever seen a dog do that? That is reggae. It's not going to stop until it tear up the piece. So it's revolution, it's war!"

I want to challenge the writer of the script in the documentary on one point. When Perry made a little money and bought a bigger house for his family, it was in a modest neighborhood, Washington Gardens, which is not in the hills above Kingston, as stated in the video.. Any one can search and view the documentary on RU-vid about one of Perry's protoges, Junior Delgado, where he takes us on a drive to Perry's house at #5 Cardiff Crescent, Washington Gardens, with no hills or mansions in sight. It was not the heart of the ghetto, but it was also not a rich neighborhood. If you think Marley defied convention by living uptown at Hope Road, an actual rich area, imagine the scandal of Perry staging his revolutionary studio and bizarre paintings and graffiti, in an uptown community! He would have been run out of the neighborhood. Lee was in a neighborhood of fellow sufferers who had scraped their way out of the ghetto to a quasi- middle class area not too far from the actual ghetto. Other than that. Great job. Scratch came , saw and conquered.

This man is a giant. He could never be past tense

One of Jamaica 🇯🇲 greatest gone but not forgotten.

The one and only madman ❤️

What a man just listen to his early recordings from 1973 to 1975 at the black ark studio What a man 😊

RIP legend and thank you for the tons of music

These are the people who help put Jamaica on the map, not ''Andrew Foolishness" and people like him. Brilliant works. One love mi boss. ♥ 🇯🇲

Rest up Mr Perry, I am sad you have passed this mortal life but your creative works remain for ever. Thank you for sharing your originating and influential visions and positive vibrations, they will not die.

L$P The Upsetter - Thanks for the fine, fine music. Rest in Power!

I love when I come across these things by accident ❤ RIEP Mr. Perry

Thank you for the music! Grateful to see Lee Scratch Perry play live too🙏🏻👑

Thanks for posting this,I love. Lee. Scratch more than ever, I see you as a big tree,and from it are branches and leaves, but you are the foundation,and the branches and leaves are where others have been inspired by you,if that makes sense, long live. Reggae music,spiritual music♥️💛💚♥️💛💚

This was an amazing documentary, I learned so many things. Just want to add, though, that the Dub Syndicate stuff in the late 80s was HUGE, and that was his major return in the UK. Time Boom De Devil Dead eg. Massive.

i never see this until he passed but them confuse but i have know one to blame but my self because bob create reggae music in my present but he and scrash was realy close bob take i to see him in 78 , the words come from my name,

The congos Album brings me back through time and space into the Coffee Shop in Maastricht 40yrs ago.

Black Ark el único estudio de grabación abierto las 24 horas del día... Genio que no morirá jamás....

thank you for posting this, really enjoyed it all. Lee "Scratch" Perry, Rest In Dub. Once in a lifetime pioneer

Did not know anything about lee scratch Perry until seeing this interview with him respect brother rest in all peace

Such an honor to meet your greatness in Negril

I love Peter tosh and his energy he is really the strongest.

great doc... thanx for the upload. didn t was too much into perry later as a live act, but a magician in the studio. one of a kind.

This doc blew my mind… no Mr Lee Scratch Perry blew my mind. Musical genius. 💯🔥💪🏾💪🏾

He elevated every artist he worked with to superstar status,basically created reggae and was behind every killer song of reggae in the 70's was the Godfather of Dub,he really was channeled by God to bring us this music.Thank you Lee a true true genius.

His reasoning ability was below average but you just can't take away what's belongs to him, he was the master of dubs and a great producer and i say that unapologetically.

Very great effort mr Scratch, my only idol in my life!

The second deadliest train crash in the history of planet earth happened in Kendal Jamaica , on Sept 1st. 1957. Lee Perry was 20 years at the time and Kendal was his hometown and birthplace. it was miracle he wasn't on board. May seem like a random comment but imagine being from a tiny town out in the country and a train crashes in your town killing 179 people. That is an aspect of his life that very people know about... Wiki post is below: September 1, 1957 - British Jamaica - Apparently because a stopcock in the brake line is accidentally bumped by a coupler, the brakes fail on a heavily loaded 12-car church excursion train returning from Montego Bay to Kingston. The crew fails to detect and act on the problem until the train runs away and derails on a curve at Kendal. Five cars roll into a ditch and two become wedged in a narrow cutting; 179 people are killed and hundreds injured.[94][95]

Long live the Eccentric Genius!! A creator of visions and sounds, ahead of his time! Salute!!

when I first heard Bathroom skank, that's when i Realize this was something special, he created Rockers music

R.I.P. Legend Blessed Love 🙏🎶🔥❤️🇪🇹

He explained himself very well, bad people around him, because of the Studio, his studio created great rasta music call Rockers

I love the birth and rise this music. I proud to be identified with this sound a sound of freedom and redemption...

Simply a genius. I miss him. I feel him. I praise HIM

RIP Pipecock Jackson!!!

Genius. Original. Visionary. Artist The Upsetter!!!! The world is a less colorful place, impoverished by the loss of your originality and your fearlessness. Bless up mi bruddah!!! Heaven just got more colorful!!! Can't wait to hear what you and Bob,Tosh, Dennis, Garnett, Gregory all dem!!! It's gonna be Dub Tastic! Much 💗

I love these old roots style from long time ,just never knew who wrote them this is important to me ,thanks for sharing details abt this great man ,please share more

Bless up blessed love love and blessings

Exclusive and rare..! Lee scratch Perry the only one. See you again soon. Jah loves you 🇯🇲💢💯💬🎥❤️ Rastafari lives.

It's not a coincidence that these great men had to all be in Jamaica same time. Nature brought them together.

Greetings from UK. Thank you. This was a great watch. I was fortunate to have seen LSP perform here in B’ham @ the Custard Factory. He was brilliant!!

Look for me in the Holy Sky! Farewell Legend

Lee Scratch Perry is the GG Allin of reggae I thought about this for long and I just can't unsee it. I just can't. Both legends in their own way, both really... Out there, they total opposites but at the same time so so similar in many ways. Both didnt give a single, not a single single F about what other thought of them. Praise.

Rip to the Legend! Mr. Lee Scratch Perry

Thanks for uploading this! I remember watching this back in 2015 under 5z1.

GREAT documentary I learned so much, thank you

He is on the 7th Chakra all day every day

Loved you Rainford Hugh Perry but Jah loved you more. Rest in Power

Great documentary for real. I have worked around people who are actors, painting artists and who do sculptures/ physical art that can be viewed by the public and they are so creative that they can seem to be crazy when they explain their art. There minds are on a completely different wavelength to a so called logical 9 - 5 person and they could never work in a office setting wearing a suit n tie .There is definitely a thin line between madness and genius.

This man is a man from Zion church only Zion people can know an recognize this, Perry is a spiritual man

Who will tell the people the Truth now? Rest in peace, Mr Perry. Thank you for everything.

Long live Lee scratch Perry. The pioneer. You came and conquer many hears 💕.Rest well Sir.I will never forget how Bob Marley ended up with the song Trench Town Rock .You pulled it out of him Sir. So he wanted to hit you with piece of the rock from Trench Town 🤔 for selling his song..

The boss slappin vampire

"We love you Mr. Perry One god One faith One destiny child"

I had the pleasure of seeing him with Misty in roots in London at Town and Country club in late 90’s boy he was dynamic on stage wearing king’s crown on his head he is true king 👑 R.I.P

Rm.x words of power big up LA

Beste Scratch Doku💪😁❤️

Hard!!!

YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION FROM NOW AND FOREVER. PEOPLE SAID YOU ARE MAD, BUT THEY ARE CONFUSED AND IGNORANT OF THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE COLLIE. JAH KEEP YOUR SOUL ABOVE ALL THE REGGAE SOULS. YOU ARE A MIGHTY MIGHTY CREATION OF CREATION.

Can some one collect all the news about Lee Perry and make some books , that would create his legacy . when go to Trench Town most of what you see is just about Bob Marley. WHY.

GREAT 👍 HISTORY THE SAGA CONTINUES JAH KNOW THAT SEEN SEE 👀 👀

Legend Wish I got the chance to meet him

This is the most complete documentary of the legend himself, Lee "Scratch" Perry aka The Upsetter, aka Pipecock Jackson He IS a man of pure spirit, his creativity overflowed throughout his life. His goal was not a wordly one, his path was unique and not bound by any system of control. His African roots went deep and lit a fire of productivity few could match. I've been listening to his music since the early 80s, after being introduced to his music by a good friend of mine in Dublin.

Jah live 🙏 🇬🇧

How everyone doing 2day Lee Scratch Perry, one of the most music artist of all x's. Dub Dub master. I remember using his Dub track's chanting from the Bible I and Judah Law.

LONG LIVE THE CONGOS❤️🖤💚🔥🙏🔆💪

r i p legend

Lee Perry, sons of slave, Junior Delgado great work

YES JAH RASTAFARI TRUTH MY JAH BRO BIG RESPECT❤️💚💛😇🙏

Very interesting biography! Highlights the unhealed trauma of the Black Experience fueling the Rasta + Reggae movements. The ending was my favorite. Lee seemed to learn how to set personal boundaries, find healing; yet, still not before great loss and suffering. A poignant + informative watch.

He was a man of mysticism. If you listen to up until 1:56 you can identify the cadence and speech patterns of the ministers of the South.

I wanted to meet The Upsetter before I left this planet!!! We shall meet in the ethers!!!

Bless Up Scratch. We will release RAIN INNA BABYLON into the world soon! Music to change the world L$P

Awesome documentary, much thanks and praise! What is the music over the last shot?

one love

Yaaaaww!!! The disco devil!!!

Absolutely orsem the best hr of my fucken life
