Esteemed drummer, SlyDunbar, died last month.
Along with bassist Robbie Shakespeare he formed a rhythm section much in demand.
The list of people he played with or for is extensive (see link.)
This is possibly the earliest of his recordings I became aware of.
Dave and Ansel Collins: Double Barrel
Lowell Fillmore (Sly) Dunbar; 10/5/1952 – 26/1/2026. So it goes.

Also in the Guardian last week was the obituary of Robbie Shakespeare, one half of the rhythm section players Sly and Robbie.
Reggae wasn’t/isn’t my thing but I knew Sly and Robbie were well-regarded in the music business.
Another (private) blog I visit posted this, recorded when he was nineteen, as a tribute to Robbie.
Bob Marley and the Wailers: Midnight Ravers
Robert Warren Dale (Robbie) Shakespeare: 27/9/1953 – 8/12/2021. So it goes.
