DESCRIPTION:It's Rocksteady Cool Thursday agin!\n\nSo shake your way down Orange St..(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJD7MUUKt0w)  oh..  wait... I mean Byward St\, to Bar 56\n\nBoss DJ Mark is the featured guest with Ska-t and they'll be throwin down the vintage JA grooves to make ya move ... wreck ya pum pum.\n\n\n"Rocksteady is a music genre that was most popular in Jamaica\, starting around 1966\, and its reggae successor was established around 1968.[1]\n\nThe term rocksteady comes from a dance style that was mentioned in the Alton Ellis song "Rock Steady". A successor to Jamaican ska\, and a precursor to reggae\, rocksteady was performed by Jamaican vocal harmony groups such as The Gaylads\, The Kingstonians\, The Maytals and The Paragons. Dances performed to rocksteady were less energetic than the earlier ska dance moves. Rocksteady differs from ska musically as the tempo is slower and more relaxed. The bass is heavier and more prominent in the mix and in addition\, the bass lines abandon the earlier "walking" style of the ska period in favor of more broken\, syncopated figures. The ska-style back beat and the emphasis on the offbeat carried over into rocksteady." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocksteady
