It's becoming like 1999 again, artists dropping out left & right. R.I.P. Claudius an underated artist that had put out early roots classics, it's a shame.

Although being a Reggae listener all my life I had never come across Claudius Linton until a few days back when I stumbled over some youtube-videos featuring his singing and playing. What a great voice and song-writing.
Very sad to hear of his passing away.

Only track I know of this guy was "Baccra Massa" which is a pretty good tune.

Sad to hear of yet another passing.

I'll stop passing by RA forum, each time is another sad news... Why are they all diseappearing ? well, claudius linton had a very hard life and was a real sufferer, it is not surprising he trepasses now. At least he had re-released his old "roots master" tunes and even recorded a new album before dying.
