Rocksteady Fever hit Jamaica around 1966 when the jerky Ska rhythms slowed down to a more leisurely, sexy pace. Some say due to the extreme heat that hit the island that year, making frenzied dance routines of the earlier sounds seem like hard work in the all night Sound System Sessions. Others would say Reggaes beat is always evolving and changing into something slightly different and moving with the times.Whatever the reasons were, this two year period that ran until 1968, would see some of the power escape from then big three producers, Clemet Coxone Dodd, Prince Buster and Duke Reid, who ruled the airwaves. They had to finally make room for the new wave of up and coming producers who had something to say.
