We need to protect our artist , no Nitty, no Bob, we miss them all Tenor Saw and most of all Garnet Silk....

It's not a matter of protecting our artists half of them get into a lot of things and lie about them on tour in NY my youth each of them just have to stay focus on the right thing

So you mention Tenor Saw and leave out Nitty Gritty? What about Dirtsman, Panhead, Gregory Peck, Major Worries, Turbo Belly, Captain Barkey, Alton Black, Louie Ranking aka Teddy Bruk Shut, The Doctor Early B, Toyan, Lee Van Cliff, Billy Boyo, Louie Lepkie, Massive Dread, Dirty Harry, Henry Junjo Lawes, Winston Riley, Assailant, O'neil from Voicemail, Kentucky Kid, Bunny Rugs from Third World Band, Yvonne Sterling, The Legendary King Tubby, Slim Smith, Ranking Trevor, Jah Benji, Risto Benji, Papa Richie, Jim Kelly, Django from Stereophonic Sound, Hugh Mundell and Errol Shorter plus more??

Had to cut it to 10. no disrespect to them. They all contributed greatly to the music.

[@hungchung2726]

@@jamaicaworldwide But some of these i mention are bigger names than some you mention. For example King Tubby and Junjo Lawes were bigger Producers by far than Roach, As these were known to a wider Population worldwide and all over Europe, Roach was only know to the Younger Generation, Tubby and Junjo have a bigger Music Catalouge.

[@richardwilliams3839]

Crazy

[@nomalilumsden2018]

The slack lyrics and gun lyrics of some dancehall artists hurt the poor of Jamaica the worst. In this sense dancehall artists who sing these lyrics are enemies of their own family, friends and communities. They truly know better but corrupt their fans for the money. Having grown up poor it is understandable that they do this, but still results in an act of mental violence against their own friends, family and community.

I Grow Up on This Music These Episodes Where constantly repeated By The Elders I Met In New York Peter Tosh, General Echo, Killer Miller And Tennor Saw., Unsulved MYSTERIES!

[@AS-wj1du]

The great Garnett Silk, Peter Tosh and Tenor Saw. Tenor's stutter was very cute. He was so talented. I learned about him growing up. They said if he'd had a manager he wouldn't have been killed. They blamed Nitty Gritty for getting him involved with dodgy people. Nitty Gritty was also killed allegedly by another well known Jamaican artist

[@jamaicaworldwide]

The story about Nitty Gritty is on the channel

[@dj_colombian_dread9901]

That Peter Tosh case was crazy

[@jasmineclark1670]

@dj_colombian_dread9901 That's not how it go. I knew Peter very well. I can't say too much in this open forum. I lived about 10 blocks from his house at the time. It was a revenge killing.

[@AS-wj1du]

Why because he apparently said he'd pay the killer for a crime he committed then went back on it? That's been around from the start. I was born a few weeks before Peter died and always heard that. Edit, a few weeks after

[@nightrider12soul]

@@jasmineclark1670 I used too sell vinyl in Portobello Rd London.Once a Rasta guy bought some vinyl and told me that some people did jail time for Peter Tosh and he never offer them a help.

Word on the street is that Laban took the fall for a gun found in a car with Tosh,. Tosh apparently promised to take care of him after he came out of prison but did not do so. Laban was was upset and took revenge by killing Tosh September 11.

You forgot Junior Braitwaite from the Original WAILERS who was murdered in Kingston after returning from living in Chicago, USA. Also Carton Barrett fantastic drummer for the WAILERS who was murdered by a man hired by his wife. Evangelist Roger Mansour former manager of Junior Braitwaite

[@jasmineclark1670]

I knew Carlton Barrett and Junior Braitwaite. Braitwaite was killed by the same "entities" who killed Bob to prevent him from making any claims to Bob's $$$. Closer than you think. That's all I am going to say. Karma a lick dem now though.
