	ReggaeTrain.com...your portal to Reggae music...(Biography [Alton Ellis])
		In many ways he epitomizes the story of reggae vocalists: a start in the business at a very early age, massive popularity for a limited period, and a gradual decline in prominence while continuing to make excellent records.
		Ellis was born into a musical family, and he first recorded in the late 50s as part of a duo with singer Eddy Perkins for Randys and Studio One as Alton And Eddy.
		This 'cool' music gave singers far greater freedom to express themselves - they no longer had to battle against the frantic ska pace and 'noisiness', and Alton Ellis reigned supreme - his 'Get Ready - Rock Steady' was one of the first records actually to use the term.

	reggae music
		But reggae was simply the growth, the development, of what had been happening in Jamaican music.Beginning with ska, and then rock steady, the loudest island in the world had declared its real musical independence, and had already made an imprint on the world, albeit a small one.
		For them the music of choice was soul, but there was also a definite attraction to ska, with its irresistible beat, and also to the sharp looks of the rude boys, the most fashionable Jamaican youth.
		In the U.K. Trojan focused on the very commercial end of reggae, "music," noted writer Sebastian Clarke, "with a beat, a soft melody and strings behind it." It proved to be a potent combination.

		From Dancehall Reggae, SKA Music, Roots Reggae, Spanish Reggae, to Dub Reggae.
		In the 1960s the term reggae, pronounced "ray-gay", was used to refer to a "ragged" form of dance rhythm popular in Jamaica.
		No one is quite sure where the word "reggae" came from, but it may have come from a 1968 dance single by Toots and the Maytals called "Do the Raggay." Reggae music lyrics typically deal with poverty, politics, and Rastafarianism.

		Reggae is an African Caribbean style of music developed on the island of Jamaica and is closely linked to the religion Rastafarianism, though not universally popular among its members.
		Reggae is founded upon its rhythm style, which is characterized by regular chops on the backbeat, played by the rhythm guitarist.
		The style of reggae he made famous is called roots reggae or roots rock reggae, and was and is still used by many artists such as Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Culture, Prince Lincoln Thompson, Israel Vibration, Delroy Wilson, UB40, The Skatalites, and Toots and the Maytals.

		Reggae is the heartbeat of Jamaica - a brand of music as strongly identified with the island as RandB is with Detroit or jazz with New Orleans.
		Reggae evolved in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, born of the tensions and social protest simmering violently in the late 1960's.
		Reggae has influenced so many of today's marketing efforts with reggae jingles with its distinctive beat being heard on the radio and television around the world selling everything from laundry soap to soft drink.

		Rasta forms the base of reggae music, the vehicle that artists such as Bob Marley used to spread Rasta thought all over the world.
		(An archetypal example of nyahbingi is the three LP set from Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari.) "Roots" reggae explores the themes of the suffering of ghetto dwellers, slavery in Babylon, Haile Selassie as a living deity, and the hoped-for return to Africa.
		In mid-60s reggae evolved a slower and cooler mode called rocksteady which shifted emphasis to bass and drums.

		Though not strictly focusing on reggae, the title and the photo on the cover of this book (What reggae book doesn't have a picture of Bob Marley on it?) give a good indication that reggae is a major focus.
		Unfortunately, like the Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae, the albums are rated based on comparisons to the artist's other albums, so that an album that gets a 7 for one artist isn't necessarily considered better than another artist's 5.
		Again, I can't speak for calypso, soca, zouk, etc., but as for the reggae selections, there are few surprises; the usual suspects are accounted for.
