Hello Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners,
It is with great sadness that we must report that legendary vocalist, Arthur “Bunny” Robinson has passed away only three months after the passing of his longtime singing partner, Noel “Scully” Simms. Bunny Robinson passed away on Wednesday, May 10th, at the age of 81 at the University of the West Indies Hospital after a four year battle with bone cancer. Our memorial for Bunny begins midway through this week’s program, with many of the tracks that he recorded with Noel Simms, as well as Robinson’s solo work and his cuts with other artists such as Claudelle Clark, Rudolph “Ruddy” Redwood, and The Messengers, where Bunny sang with Lloyd Charmers, Busty Brown, BB Seaton, and Ken Boothe. We extend our deepest sympathies to Bunny’s family and friends, and to the many musicians he worked with over his long career. Rest in peace Bunny. Love, Generoso and Lily
