Absolutely an interesting life and man. I read an "interview" with him in TapeOp some issues ago, there wasn't a lick of sense amidst all the words there.

Some great music also:

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

easily one of the most important producers in music history. 85 is a pretty respectable age, but quite a loss nevertheless.

:-*
It‘s been a while... but I had an intense Dub-phase some 10-13 years ago. And Lee Scratch Perry was amongst my all time favorites of that genre! I have even seen him and Max Romeo perform together on a festival in 2012.
So long! Rest in Peace!

I heard about this and listened to Return of the Super Ape right before Hurricane Ida took our power
