Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, quick introduction to Rockers, the film

Here is Leroy Wallace, also known as Horsemouth. Aside from a genuine skill in imitating a horse neighing, he's also a fantastic drummer who has played on countless recordings.

Here's a quick picture of him, taken from the film Rockers (1978). The highly acclaimed film, made by Greek producer Ted Bafaloukos, holds a legendary place in reggae due to its cast being, for the majority, the actual singers and artists of the moment.

Horsemouth is a key figure in the film as he's the main actor, selling records around Kingston on his motorbike (see picture) until the day it was stolen and he beggins tracking the thieves down.
