Lee Scratch Perry

What would you say your contribution has been to the world?

—Happiness. There’s a thing here called stress that’s been sent here to test mankind - stress and distress, problem and trouble, and evil spirits. I have the power to chase the evil spirit away. I have the power to conquer the duppies. And I have the power to conquer evil. And I have the power to cast out stress, to cast out distress, destroy problems and destroy trouble. And destroy Satan and destroy the devil. I have the power to destroy everything that is evil. I can make the unhappy soul be a happy soul and I can make the unhappy spirit be a happy spirit. Start to clap. Start to drum and start to prance and start to dance. Give the power of happiness. The power of love. The power of fate. The power of truth. The power of the trees and the power of the root, the power of the jungle, the power of the animal.
