[Music] Rest in peace, Johnny Clegg

[Juan Albion]

We've lost a wonderful human being. Not the strongest singer in the world, but the singer of some of the strongest songs. I will miss him very much. If you've been to one of his gigs, you will understand. He made happiness on stage.

Juluka - Scatterlings Of Africa is one of my all time favourite albums.

RIP Johnny Clegg

That is terrible news.

He was an absolute legend.

Going to play my shaped picture disc of Scatterlings of Africa in tribute.

RIP Johnny

Some amateur clips from the last time I got to see Johnny, 2016.

12 Tribes of Israel Rastafarian organisation in London do an event each year, and any artist who is 12 tribe member is sort of obliged to perform, which is cool, saw a few stars free of charge, anyway, they also had guest artists, a and he showed up one year with his band when I was there late 80s or early 90s. Amazing energy. rip

I remember when he was banned from playing in the UK because he was South African and it was the apartheid era. I still think it was a stupid decision. Anyway, he was born near Rochdale, a fact which won me two tickets to see him in Nottingham once.

Sad news. A great man.

Bloody good album that - loved it. Never really followed up on his later work though - though if I'd ever produced an album as good as that I probably wouldn't have bothered trying to better it.
Johnny Clegg was a gentleman worthy of an RIP though, so here is one from me, unreservedly. RIP ..............................

And Johnny didn't know Nelson was coming on.
