Junior Murvin R.I.P.

Sad news that the great falsetto voice of Junior Murvin is no more. He passed away in Jamaica on 2 December 2013. Never a prolific singer, his version of 'Police & Thieves' is one of reggae's classic tunes and his other work with Lee Perry is very under-rated.Here's David Katz's Guardian obituary:

and here is an article by my good mate Dotun Adebayo about the song:

A couple of other photos of him with King Jammy from 1986 are here:
