When we heard the news that the great ghetto champion Lincoln "Sugar" Minott had passed we were devastated. He was truly the champion of ghetto people everywhere and carried the history of Jamaican music with him through his songs, his voice, his productions, his label, his soundsystem and virtually everything else he touched. We will miss him. He visited us once at Eastvillageradio.com (09.28.09) and his infectious energy blessed us with one our favorite shows and fortunately we recorded a few moments of this wonderful event. Sugar Minott - Rest In Peace. (via Deadly Dragon blog)
Queen Majesty pays tribute to Sugar with some favorite tunes of his for the first hour, then is joined in the second hour by Fadda T from King Ryukyu Sound System out of Okinawa who was passing through New York City this week. He treated us to a show that only he can - a Super Soul Show! Killer soul originals of BIG reggae tunes as well as some soul dubplates - must haffi check the archive...
