Film-maker, actor, musician and reggae aficionado Don Letts pays tribute to Trojan Records, which since the late 1960s has been hugely instrumental in exposing Jamaican rocksteady and reggae music to the British public. The label's roster has included Jimmy Cliff (Wonderful World, Beautiful People), John Holt (Help Me Make It through the Night), Ken Boothe (Everything I Own), Bob and Marcia (Pied Piper), and Dave and Ansel Collins (Double Barrel).
