Reggae legend Desmond Dekker has died suddenly from a heart attack, his manager has announced.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Sad to hear that.

Good thing I got to see him play live in the 80s sometime. A memorable experience.

RIP.

If I change my way of living, and if I pave my streets with good times, will the mountain keep on giving…

Today is a sad day. 007 (Shanty Town) was one of the greatest songs ever.
