[@anduzevisuals8214]

I was fortunate enough to work with Vaughn and his brother Ronnie. Growing up with their music from the Midnite days had a very big influence on me. But to be in the presence of Vaughn (Akae Beka) and to talk to him 1 on 1 has been the most powerful and spiritual experience of my life.

[@FedericoGPena]

I was so saddened to hear about Vaughn's passing; a true loss for the music community and the world at large, and most importantly for all those whom he personally touched with the music and the message. I'm sure many on this concert might have been delighted to being treated to a spontaneous hang with Vaughn after the show and the way he loved to hold court on the street, sitting on the curb [or wherever] and just kickin' a vibe. We met as young men in St. Croix - I was passing by with a group for about 11 days and we met during our last night there - and continued to grow our bond in DC when he and Ronnie moved here. The music took us on different paths and we saw each other less in the last 20 years. I built a family and was on the road for much of the time, as was he. He had that mission that he held so dear. No matter how much time went by we always connected like brothers and the distance always evaporated immediately. I'm proud to call him my friend. R.I.P. beautiful brother.

[@EmpressRosalindVBrown]

That is so BEAUTIFUL keep those memories forever with you...Selassie I bless...🤲🏾👑👸🏾💝👁🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@FedericoGPena]

@@EmpressRosalindVBrown I produced and arranged a song he wrote - it was never released as it was not Roots Reggae and was more aligned with another side Vaughn had...where he wrote these singer-songwriter [almost anthemic] tunes. Some of them even had an R&B tinge to them - and undercurrent that ran even through his Reggae stuff....(there's definitely echoes of R&B in the history of Reggae, especially very early on. These two styles are cousins for sure). I don't want to just air-out Vaughn's tune without his permission, but I know he would love for the world to hear what we did. Through the years he would always remark, "That was a detailed piece of work!!", and I know he was very proud of that session we did at my friend's basement during the DC blizzard of 1996. Look to my KZbin channel. I may try and reach out to his family somehow and see if we let it go....Thank you for your reply!!

Listening to this today stirs so many emotions. Was such an upful night. I had so much fun mixing this show as we had so much analog gear at miners foundry outboard gear I knew well and knew we would accomplish the new sound of Akae Beka. I recalled someone during soundcheck telling me he had heard that the Akae Beka sound was a little different than Midnite and I smiled and asked how. He said it was a bit more jazzy and had a lot more effects. I said let me know your thoughts later tonight after the show and he did come by the desk later and asked if we were recording as he would love a copy. I said I was recording and would share it when I got a moment. I was gifted the video by a long time brother and fan of Midnite. So I added the mix to the video and gifted it to the world here on KZbin. So much gratitude for you Arch Angel. You changed my life in so many ways. Thank you for the many lessons you were a giant amongst us. Rastafari liveth.
