Lee “Scratch” Perry: Dead

[pedro]

Lee “Scratch” Perry, the monumental reggae singer, producer and studio wizard who pushed the boundaries of Jamaican music — and as a byproduct, rock, hip-hop and dance — with his explorations into dub, has died at the age of 85.
The Jamaican Observer reports that Perry died Sunday at the Noel Holmes Hospital in western Jamaica. Cause of death was unknown at press time.

And Ely Moyal, drummer for Trumans Water and Octagrape, also died on Saturday. Sucks.

Had no idea; I saw Trumans Water at my college's cafe in 1994. RIP.
