Having just googled him,discovered it was him who penned "Tide is high"which was a huge Blondie hit in the 80's RIP.

Didn't know him, but sad all the same. RIP John.

Oh no :( One of the original reggae legends, he was brilliant and I have loads of his tracks.

I'm not sure who's providing your figures, puternut, but there have been considerably more than two deaths today.

[Daffy6543]

No need for pedantry douglas, we all know what he meant.
