Pass the Dutchie: global No. 1, and the question of who gets paid

What was argued

Two documented positions on reggae's cross-border hits, stated neutrally. One view celebrates 'Pass the Dutchie' as a showcase that carried Jamaican music and a Studio One rhythm to a worldwide audience; another emphasises the unresolved credit and publishing questions for the originators of 'Pass the Kouchie' and its rhythm source - a matter producer Gussie Clarke has publicly said pushed him toward music publishing. Neutral framing; no verdict, and no allegation against any individual.
