Alton Ellis, known as the "Godfather of rocksteady" and also one of my favorite reggae artists, died last month.
He left behind hundreds of wonderful songs and something like 20 children.
I just found out about this last week, so I wasn't able to attend the funeral/celebration at Scots Kirk on Duke Street. In case you missed it, too, the Jamaican Observer has the details, and I've got this classic tune by Mr. Ellis which you can listen to and enjoy.
Rocksteady.
