Who would have been great if still alive?

[Raw D]

Hi all

I want to start a topic which has been on my mind for so long and i know that it will be interesting.
According to us all who is the artist who passed away while still very active musically who could have been a legend by now and why?

Bob Marley - Sky was the limit for him. He could do no wrong

Jacob Miller - The biggest rival Bob Marley would have had was this man. I love his music so much.

Hugh Mundell - This guy had a very promising career and what he achieved with Augutus Pablo was classic all along

Garnett Silk - A workhorse who had so much quality stuff

Peter Tosh - You all know that this man is an icon

King Tubby - King of Dub who really brought the game to a new level

Don Drummond - If it was not for his action maybe we could have enjoyed so musical Gem from this guy

Prince Far I - One of the greats who we are missing

That should set it nicely

Respect

Early B would have been of the greatest deejays. I do firmly believe that.

For those of you who haven´t heard the late and great Garnett Silk, it is time to listen to his work. He would surely been a superstar.

Well..

1. Bob Marley - I seen recently the Santa Barbara DVD, and i went crazy whith the kind of performance that the wailers band did.

2. Hugh Mundell - Like his music.

Deborah Glasgowe - had one the sweetest voices i've heard. gutted to find find out that she died (shame that there is only a few albums of hers out there)

General Echo - could have controlled the dances and would have surpassed yellowman
(shame that there is only a few albums of his out there)
