On this episode of Memphis Musicology, we explain how a little-known Memphis pianist named Rosco Gordon played a crucial (albeit accidental) role in the birth of ska and reggae in Jamaica. We also head to The Crate to dissect Toots Hibbert’s 1988 reggae classic “Toots in Memphis,” a soul-reggae hybrid that featured some of the best talent from two distinct but intertwined cultures. “Up up!”
