Rock steady only lasted for a brief period from 1966 to 1968, but its significance to the subsequent development of Jamaican music is incalculable and it went on to shape each successive musical movement over the next four decades.
Providing a bridge between ska and reggae, rock steady slowed the pace of Jamaican music down and added soulful vocals to the mix.
Deejays and dancehall producers all stepped to the tune and pace of rhythms whose origins were grounded in the rock steady beat and it is impossible to ever overstate its importance, or its beauty.
