Wow, the world of music lost some amazing people in 2008. Here is a special nod to a few whose music I hold dear to my heart...
Bill Coday (May 10, 1942 - June 7, 2008). My pick: Sixty Minute Teaser, Part 1 and Part 2 on Crajon records.
Byron Lee (June 27, 1935 - November 4, 2008). My pick: Soul Ska. There is so much soul in this tune.
Alton Ellis (September 1, 1938 - October 10, 2008). My pick: Remember That Sunday b/w Sunday Gravy. Now that's rocksteady folks.
Cliff Nobles (1944 - October 12, 2008). My pick: Love Is All Right.
Larry Levine (May 8, 1928 - May 8, 2008). Producer of the amazing Pet Sounds.
Jimmy McGriff (April 3, 1936 - May 24, 2008). My pick: Electric Funk.
Isaac Hayes (August 20, 1942 - August 10, 2008). My pick: Hot Buttered Soul
DJ Mikey Dread (June 4, 1954 - March 15, 2008). Producer of Bankrobber by the Clash.
... you will all be missed and never forgotten.
