Re: Junior Delgado Tribute
Does anyone know what caused his death?
Fact is that in 1999 he again released an excellent album called "Reasons". This was one of the better roots albums from the late nineties. A masterpiece. He proved that he was able to continue releasing high quality material, through the decades. Too bad that this has to come to an end.

Re: Junior Delgado Tribute
Real bad, mon, one of the most distinctive singers gone. Be it roots or lovers, almost everything he did had a sure fine quality, even the later records of the 90s.
Good to know that he began reissuing his own catalogue in the last years, so everybody not so familiar can get hold of his own classic albums like 'Effort', 'Dance A Dub' (a classic dub in its own right), 'Taste of a young heart' or 'More she love it'. All are highly recommended to all latecomers.
