Music is my forte--i know music(VBG:) The creation of what they call B/W(Black/White) Ska in UK at the same time as Punk in mid 70s went a long way in MAJORLY deflating racism in England. Max

Gone to expose you to just one more video of what i consider one the vitalist music movements in English history: two-tone or b/w Ska and am going to introduce you to i think to a great talent, one Pauline Black, who first performed this at age 18, and here she is at about age 42! The song, the reggae masterpiece written by Toots of Toots and the Maytals in 1971(a record i am glad to brag i bought in 1971--when virtually no one knew of him), the song is "Too Much Pressure" and has been covered and released by maybe 100s of groups(The Clash had a huge hit doing it). Ska of course originated in Jamaica, and was the forerunner of Reggae, the UK however took it step further, with groups oft moving all around in rapid two step(skip) dance as they played--in this one they are not doing that. So here is Pauline Black at about age 42 performing live "Too Much Pressure" youtube.com
