RIP....a true legend. Keith Richards once said of him "More than a producer, he knows how to inspire the artist’s soul. Like Phil Spector, he has a gift of not only hearing sounds that come from nowhere else, but also translating those sounds to the musicians. Scratch is a shaman."

Why, on earth, would Martin Bashir think he could handle Lee "scratch" Perry😅. He was clearly deluded. Scratch, was like an mad uncle to me. Met him in Jamaica 1977, on school holiday. He was close friends with my Grandfather. Scratch and his lady, taught me how to make gungu peas soup, with a few other Jamaican earthy dishes, not really made anymore. I will always remember him, coming to knock for me, to come out and tour Jamaica. That was the best 6 weeks holiday ever. ❤😢

Scratch is a one off original Genius, and any artist and musician who has worked with him will testify this. at 80 years of age in March 2016 he was with Coxone at Studio One, he had the Legendary Black Ark Studio, and is still touring, when so many have passed.

We send love into all hearts, forgive all those who are greedy, exercise power and make all positive healthy people sick with their dark doings, they have forgotten what their mission is ..... So they all have chose the dark side and does not find the way back into the light alone .... because the demon knew exactly what he was doing ........ that is why you signed in trust in ignorance so that you can own everything .. .. you have everything, autos wealth and power to keep ... only what you have overlooked is ........ under the signature is exactly what his conditions are ..... in very tiny small letters written .... that you can not find it with the largest magnifying glass .... the demon is happy and again he has a soul light that is prolonged in life ...... he is certain that he will win ..... He knows your weaknesses and you have agreed, he only wants your soul light that keeps him alive, nothing more ...... Die Truth is a plant and no matter how deep you have buried it, it will come to light one day ....... I am fully aware of what I am writing here, God's will is done ...... .love and respect all beings in all worlds ..... jah bless ... one love ... we are one
