is the Barbadian Jackie Opel (who of course lived in Jamaica and was an integral part of the early development of the reggae movement) - this is one badass piece of music.
That is why you got to cry!
You should have seen us performing this when we were young

9. Jackie Opel's real name was Dalton Sinclair Bishop. My family in Bim are his distant relations.

In 1781 Henry Bishop bequeathed Boscobel plantation in to his son, William Bishop. They are my ancient ancestors on mummy's side.

The area in St Peter is now spelt Boscobelle, but some places keep the old spelling.

We are also related to Garfield Sobers (met him multiple times when I was a wee one, all us kids called him Uncle Gary).
