Can't remember if it says anything about him in the sleeve notes to the Trojan "Musical Fever" album. Will have a look over the weekend... unless that's where you've found the track of course.

Well, I can exclusively reveal that the sleeve notes to "Musical Fever", while being fairly informative in other respects, ...don't tell you anything about him at all.

dead or not?

[DJ Power Version]

His first song for Coxsone "Cherry Baby" recorded 1966 with The Soul Brothers is now circulating as a repress.
