I Just Can’t Stop It: My Life in the Beat
Ranking Roger, Daniel Rachel
This is the story of one of the UK’s biggest 2-Tone bands, The Beat, who at the height of their fame in the early 80’s, had three top-selling UK albums & like the Specials, epitomized the 2-tone multi-racial approach to music & life in urban Britain.
The story begins in 1979, when 16 year-old Birmingham school boy Roger – a punk fan – was invited to appear on stage at a local pub with the newly formed ska band, The Beat. Roger’s energetic style & Jamaican-influenced vocals, paired with Dave Wakeling's angelic pop vocals, immediately distinguished the band from the other ska bands making waves, The Specials, Selecter & Madness.
Now back recording new albums, & playing sell-out international dates, The Beat – fronted by Ranking Roger – tell, for the first time, their extraordinary story with acclaimed music writer Daniel Rachel (‘Walls Come Tumbling Down’).
