Really sad news: an absolute colossus in the history of reggae but he was involved in so many other different music genres as well and worked with a really eclectic mix of artists. RIP.

Ah no. One of the best rhythm sections ever now gone. Loved the Grace Jones stuff.

RIP.

Smells like a trout farm in here

Very sad news . Black Uhuru were a cracking band and they were the heartbeat of the Grace jones tracks. RIP

Was fortunate to see Sly and Robbie on a few occasions with various guises - Black Uhuru a couple of times, but my favourite show was with them as the drum and bass behind Ernest Ranglin at an intimate Jazz Cafe show. Three absolute masters of their craft... RIP.

Walking in the rain is superb . He plays the bass here as the lead instrument. Snake like . Awesome .

Apologies this was in relation to his partner in crime Robbie Shakespeare.

I saw them at the Brixton Academy in the late 80s when they were touring with the Taxi Gang. It was their label, and they were part of the backing band but what was eye-popping was a 20 minute session in the middle featuring just those two playing some kind of amazing fusion of reggae, dub, jazz and soul.

About 35 years later, I saw them again at the Jazz Cafe this time playing with Nils Petter Molvær (Nordic jazz trumpet) and some bloke playing around live with an entire mixing desk. Stunning.

I actually bumped into Robbie after the show - he was having a smoke outside. I said hello and got to shake his hand.

Legends the pair of them. RIP :-(
