LEROY SIBBLES shares his STORY (PT1) 

Leroy Sibbles is not an ordinary musician; from his days playing for Sir Dodd onwards, Sibbles is an icon. He's helped to define the sound of our music

I am perplexed why the Jamaican Government has not built a Museum for remarkable artists & Legacies that unquestionably attracted & contributed to singlehandedly put Jamaica on the Map even before Athletics … tourist abound ! Give kick backs to the artists who deserved the honors & their Heirs .

This man's finger prints are on some of dancehall's most accomplished lovers rock riddims🔥

72 years old and he looks amazing. This man is multi talented 👏🏾👏🏾

This man loves his family, he speaks so highly of his family.

"Book of the rules" I always play this song for my students. Enjoyed the interview.

A reggae music icon, blessings Mr. Sibbles , blessings Teach Dem, don't stop taking us on these musical journey and history. We have enjoyed these artists music for decades, to know their struggles and success makes us appreciate them even more.

Teach Dem you have to do the second part of the interview with Sir Leroy Sibbles . I must say you and your Team is doing a wonderful things with this program. The Jamaican people and the rest of the world need to know the TRUTH behind the music with these Artists, musicians and Producers. I tried watching other programs and I just could not another second of it, But you and your Team is doing a great job it’s soooo informative. Professionalism you bring to the program. I was born in 1970 under the clock , lol 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

I think every new school artists need to listen to this right here, that's golden, wow jackie mitto played 3 instruments at once, thats determination, talent, a lot of new schoolers have easy life inna de business today, with so much technology at their hands and still can't wow the audience, nothing special about their beats nor the lyrics or the songs.. Big up teach Dem and Leroy Sibbles.. I never know what I was doing when I wrote this one, I never know one riddim woulda last so long, mighty diamonds call it kutchie, now every DJ every singer wah touch it, lift up my hands to de almighty, who made me de original bassie.. So weh yuh sey.... I never make much money from dis one but I still feel gud

All I can say Leroy Sibbles seemed like he is well blessed🤔🤭🤗

Great interview one of the greatest to ever do it .

Good morning teach dem, you really doing a wonderful thing bringing the artists to the camera and giving us fans an up close and personal look. Still waiting to hear ya dub box🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent, excellent interview, as usual, Teach. At some point, you should consider sharing these rich historical reasonings with the National archives. I first met Leroy while living and Canada. He came to my brethren's apartment and was playing his guitar. It's as if he went into a trance while playing/singing, one of the strings broke, and he just tuned the five strings and continued playing, as if he was still playing with 6 strings. I was in awe, a real musical genius.

Legendary 🌹

Tell me about the fan belt!🤣 Love the reasoning! Here in Africa Nairobi 🇰🇪 watching right now! Give thanks for brothers like Leroy Sibbles. Much RASpect for his great contributions!

Very very special great and powerful interview mr Leroy big up your self teacher

Leroy (HEPTONES)Sibyls, the greatest ever come out of “STUDIO ONE” as a “Singer & Musician”, I love most of the groups in Jamaica, but the “HEPTONES” oh! Goodness, that Leroy “HEPTONES”, has played a great part in my first recording for “STUDIO ONE”. He was the one that okay✅ my song “CONTEMPLATED MIND”, also played that undoubtedly but “LOVERS ROCK BASS LINE” & also he attached his graciously talented voice of unforgettable “HARMONY” to my song, I have a personal love for that man, & his “GOD BLESSED” talent, was bestowed upon him. My the “GOD” I serve in “Spirit & in Truth” seage not his mercies upon, but continue the blessings upon him, I have to turn a bit just for a brief moment, but I just have to mention the same love & respect for my mentor “SIR. KEN BOOTHE”, who has encouraged my journey in the musical 🎤 journey. I’m Barrington Spence!!! Respect to you Mr. Teach Dem, I know not your name, but same love respect & blessings upon you too. Barrington Spence, My regards.

Biggup unnu self. Heptones is one of the greatest contributions to Reggae and the people who listen

Great interview with one of the foundations of the music! Looking forward to as many parts as you can get from the great man.Line up an interview with Horsemouth he has a lot to tell about the history of the music. If I'm recalling accurately I heard Leroy saying that it was around by Ambrook Lane off Hagley Park Road that he was cooling out when Barry came to him with the words for 'Book of Rules. The song was adopted from a poem named 'A Bag of Tools' by RL Sharpe.

Great entrrtainer who loves people and also well loved by the people....blessup legend

Looking forward to part 2 great memories.

Very talented and funny at the same time. 😂 Blessings Mr. Sibbles. ❤️

This man is a giant in the history of reggae music not only for his work with Heptones but also for the work he put in when it comes to arranging and playing instruments on some of the great songs in reggae music. Big respect to all the original musicians ( Horsemouth Wallace, Sly n Robbie, Flabba, too many to mention) out there who made the reggae music that we love. Many of them do not receive the publicity, money, etc that they truly deserve.

This man is living legend, respect and honor teach!!!!!

Another great interview! Teach Dem !

More power to you Teach Dem!! You have educated us so much about these wonderful Musicians! Thank you so much!!

Am so ready for part 2 … we as the younger generation never get to experience these musicians live when from in the 70s- 80s

As a lover of reggae music I truly appreciate this interview. I know every rhythm. The man is a legend! Blessings Mr Sibbles
