    I must admit he's another of those people I thought had died many years ago.  Just skimming his bio, I didn't realise he'd been so politically active, even in his later years.  RIP.

    Ditto to Philly really, I would have had no idea he had still been alive until recently or that he had been so busy in his career including We Are The World. Obviously a much loved and talented man. RIP.
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Unsung quietly diligent activist, actor & musician.
    Jump In The Line (Shake Senora) absolutely made the film 'Beetlejuice' for me :D
    RIP.

    Great guy, great singer. A well deserved full life.
    This is absurd.  You don’t know what you’re talking about.  It warrants combat.

    A legend and a hero. What a life! (even if he did steal popularise calypso music - Jump in the Line and even the Banana Boat song are classics and were introduced to a whole new generation with Beetlejuice).
    Ten years too late and still getting it wrong
