It has now got all too sad for me to hear your vibes so now I've switched to King Tubby. Now I have to hear 'Heavy Weight Style' again, listening with tears in my eyes.

A really weird thing just happened here!

I put Heavy Weight Style back on the turntable and turned it on full blast. About halfway through the track the the entire electrics in my home fused out!

Woah....

Jah Jah live

No time to lose, so I make haste
The effects of my haste..........an awful waste
In time..........(again) ....so here I am Where I began.....
Therefore, I belong Where I began!!

Deep meditation goes out to the Jumping Master on this saddest day in musical history.

RIP Mikey! You will be missed!

Sad news indeed, I thought he would make it through the cancer, saw him live a couple of years ago, great show where he actually took over the controls at the stage show because the bass wasn't loud enough for him and told the engineer he would buy new speakers if he destroyed them.

His music was full of life & "positive reality".

i rate him as radio dj and producer, not singer or deejay

he did so much good. mikey will be missed

RIP

very sad news. rip

HE WAS A GREAT/AWESOME PERSON.....

RIP - MIKEY DREAD - MICHAEL CAMPBELL.
