GOOBYE ALTON ELLIS AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH

I want to take a little break from politics in order to take a moment to acknowledge, mourn and celebrate the life and death of the Godfather of Jamaican Rock Steady music Alton Ellis. He died this earlier this month on October 10th at the age of 70. It was in my best friends basement in high school that my love affair with Jamaican music started and it was the smooth voice and hypnotic tunes of Alton Ellis that were coming off the turntable that sealed the deal for me. Alton Ellis is a musical legend across the world and we will miss him dearly and play his music continuously. Rest in peace Alton Ellis and thank you for all the great music.
