Reggae artist Justin Hinds passed yesterday. He had been diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. Justin had a number of ska hits in the sixties most notably Carry Go Bring Come. He continued to record and perform over the years and was a close freind of Keith Richards and a member of the Wingless angels...RIP

Sorry to hear the sad news, Terry. That's two Angels who have earned their wings now. I'll be listening to Mr. Hinds on Crashbox Lust when I get home from work tonights in his memory.

Yes Rocky imagine the noise Justin & Bongo Jackie are now making together.

Small mention of Keith in Justin Hinds tribute on Trojan Records site.

In the early nineties, Dennis and Junior decided to cease performing and Justin teamed up with his friend and fellow musician, Jonathan Arthur to form the Revivers. Over the next few years, he recorded three more albums of original material, ‘Dance’, ‘Sweet Africa’ and ‘Jah Know Better’, and later joined the Wingless Angels, a group of Nyahbingi drummers. The group were later joined by Sister Maureen and with the help of Rolling Stone, Keith Richards, cut an album which saw release by Island Records in 1997. The same year, Justin performed on the Coyabalites’ ‘Unhinged’ album and embarked on a coast-to-coast US tour.
