Today in 1966, His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I (born Ras Tafari), the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, made his first and only trip to Jamaica! | Bob Marley

RARE CLIP: Emperor Selassie's April 1966 visit to Jamaica. Count Ossie brought Nyabinghi drumming to Jamaican music in the early 1960s, infusing the new-born ska / rocksteady / reggae musical style with a solid connection to African tribal consciousness. In the clip, Ossie is seen performing, as well as meeting Our Emperor and being given a gold medal. Record producer & future Prime Minister Edward Seaga is seen in a brief shot too. Then Ossie & his band perform for the King. Crucial! WATCH MORE
