[Music] Robbie Shakespeare RIP

[Pogue Mahone]

I don’t normally do these, but it’s Robbie Shakespeare. Very sad. Utter legend.

 

[Gwylan]

That's sad news to wake up to: an absolute legend, played on so many great albums

 

[Jesus Gul]

Taxi to the Pearly Gates...RIP

Loved all S&R music (maybe apart from the odd Boops phase)

 

[B-right-on]

Only 68

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

RIP Robbie

 

[Machiavelli]

RIP Robbie
What a sound you created, and thank you for the music. A Dub Experience did it particularly for me.

 

[Trufflehound]

Another one of the greats gone.

Loved all his work with Black Uhuru

RIP

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

One of the big pluses of being a Clash/Joe Strummer fan was the door they/he opened to reggae. Black Uhuru being just one example who’ve been on my playlist for years.

 

[Gwylan]

Just flicked through my collection - the number of them that S&R played on is just incredible. A sad loss

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

RIP Robbie

I saw them play in Vancouver in the early 80s. Sly and Robbie, the ultimate riddim. RIP.
