I suggest:
respect mr. Ellis, don't spread the rumour about his so-called dead but give him all the power he needs.

I was Alton's Bass player on his last Uk shows and anyone that was there witnessed that he was not very well,he should not have been onstage that night but refused to let the paying punters down.

While Alton rested between tunes, his son Chris kept the vibes flowing and anyone that was there witnessed a night to remember.

I will miss Alton dearly but i'm sure Chris will continue to fly the flag.

R.I.P Alton

Very sad indeed.
I've always been touched by the music Alton Ellis made and luckily i saw him last year on stage - for the first and last time.
I put together a short memorial mix (bout half an hour) with some of his songs; just my way to say: Thank you Alton! May you rest in peace!

I was never fortunate enough to see Alton live, but this album over the years has had a real impact on me.

[cover=3189,2027]

A truly wonderful album by a masterful artist.

RIP Mr Ellis, you have started a New Day in another place but your music will remain here with us always.

Respect always

Dave
