I was gutted to read late on Monday that Sly Dunbar has passed.
I've been unable to pull together a Dubhed selection in time for today's post - it will come this weekend - so for now here's a link to my tribute to partner Robbie Shakespeare in December 2021.
Not only one of the greatest musicians in his chosen discipline but, as Sly & Robbie, one of the most inspirational, genre defining and genre defying musical partnerships there has ever been, and ever will be.
Legend is a word that is tossed around far too often, though it's completely applicable in Sly's case. We'll not see his like again.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, TS. Icon is another overused and misused word that sprang to mind as appropriate in Sly's case.
