Another Founding Father of Reggae and the Dancehall Sadly left us Yesterday. Sugar Di Boom Boom Lincoln Barrington Minott and one of my ultimate favourite artists.
The original girls dem Sugar, he exploded onto the scene from the foundations of studio one as an apprentice to Coxon Dodd.
So many Great Songs to choose from 4 decades of music, he has such a unique beautiful voice and went on to give many many young performers their first platform on which to stand. and he was still recording, until his passing.
Rest in peace and thank you for providing some of the soundtrack to much of my life...xx
(25th May 1956 - 10th July 2010)

He did indeed Eugene. his discography was massive, and was right there at the beginnings of Reggae. A light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long... thank you eugene.x
