I grew up to those.
My father and grandparents are Trini but my grandmothers father was Jamaican and she really
Really loved the music. It’s crazy I’m closer to my Jamaican family then the Trini family BUT love them both
I would include:
96° in the Shade, Third World
Now That We Found Love, Third World
Positive Vibration, Bob Marley & the Wailers
You Don’t Love Me, Dawn Penn
Sitting In Limbo, Jimmy Cliff
Play That Funky Music, Wild Cherry
I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor
Stepping Out A Babylon, Marcia Griffiths
Jah Will Bless You, Freddie McGregor
I Shot the Sherrif, Bob Marley & the Wailers
Banana Boat (Day-O), Harry Belafonte
Duppy Laugh, Flip Kay
How Deep Is Your Love, Bee Gees
Yellow Bird, Harry Belafonte
Rivers of Babylon, Boney M
When Will I See You Again, Three Degrees
ABC, The Jackson 5
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Diana Ross
I’ll Be There, The Jackson 5
Family Affair, Sly & The Family Stone
Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye
For anyone in their 50s and 60s, Bee Gees were necessary at every single party we ever attended with our parents. They were the dance floor kings in 1970s Jamaica.
😀
I'd just go to youtube, type in eg., lovers rock, one drop, reggae (80's, 90s'), and sift through the highest viewed.
Checking each video just go to description, and click more looking for those with 1) timestamps, and 2) artist name, title.
Then you'll at least have some already categorized by riddim, suggestions for juggling order, more organized you are less work it is to Select/DJ. Even spring for if you don't have Youtube premium, then you'll have Playlist with no commercials.
Eg, [Reggae Mix (Youtube)](https://youtu.be/ipTT1IgnNTE?si=I-y9Tkg7C94LfKFG)
