== Keeping Up Appearances tables ==

U-Roy's musical career began in [[1961]] (see [[1961 in music]]) when he began [[DJ]]ing at various [[sound system]]s, eventually working with [[King Tubby]]. Tubby was then experimenting with his equipment, in the process of inventing [[dub music]]. With U-Roy as his most prominent DJ, King Tubby's new sound became extraordinarily popular and U-Roy became a Jamaican celebrity. He recorded ''Dynamic Fashion Way'', his first recording, in [[1969]] (see [[1969 in music]]). He then worked with [[Lee Perry]], [[Peter Tosh]], [[Bunny Lee]] and [[Lloyd Daley]].

Hi Mathew its Edito*Magic (also known as Chris C. Nichols)

In [[1970]] (see [[1970 in music]]), Jamaican singer [[John Holt]] became enamored of U-Roy's technique. Working with [[Duke Reid]], U-Roy's fame grew through a series of singles, including "Wake the Town" and "Wear You to the Ball".

I know you were one of the people who agreed with me on the discussion page that one neat table with all the Keeping Up Appearances specials together would look better than several separate tables per episodes, littered all over the page. I’m glad that you can see sense like I can. Hopefully we can make Updown see sense aswell. Please join in the debate further on the [[Wikipedia talk:Television episodes]]. Thanks!

U-Roy's success continued throughout the [[1970s]] and he had become one of the island's biggest stars by the early [[1980s]], also garnering significant acclaim in the [[United Kingdom]]. His latest album is [[2000]]'s ''[[Serious Matter]]'' (see [[2000 in music]]).
