I guess I knew Ska as Blue Beat at the time (from the label) but according to Maureen Cleave it was Chris Blackwell (founder of Island Records) who called it Ska. He lived in Jamaica before making his fortune in the UK.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534654679371832525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-1138130689363194052006-01-24T19:24:00.000+00:002006-01-24T19:24:00.000+00:00Given the title of the 64 record you have and the ...Given the title of the 64 record you have and the fact that the title feels so similar to a whole host of dance, reggae and other records I've come across over the years I would be inclined to suppose that 'ska' was seen as a dance style as well as a musical style at the time - in fact perhaps almost as a dance style first and before being recognised as a durable musical genre (as I guess it later became). That said it isn't titled Lets Do The Ska but that doesn't necessarily mean anything... intriguing!<BR/><BR/>When does Balderdash suggest it first appearing as a term - the article might be the first (or earliest surviving) written record but most things are in the vernacular of underground culture for a LONG while before that.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698825582028906689noreply@blogger.com
