Musical Youth
Musical Youth formed in 1979 at Duddeston Manor School in
Birmingham, England.
The pop/reggae group featured two sets of
brothers - Kelvin and Michael Grant, and Junior and Patrick Waite.
The Waites' father, Frederick Waite, had been a member of
Jamaican group The Techniques, and sang lead with Junior at the
start of the group's career in the late 1970s.
Musical Youth are best-remembered for their successful 1982
single, Pass the Dutchie, based on the Mighty
Diamonds' Pass The Kouchie (a song about cannabis!). The
title (and lyrics) were subtly altered to the patois "dutchie"
- referring to a type of pot used for cooking.
