Hello Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners,

More sad news to share with you this week as foundation songwriter Renford “Rennie” Cogle, who was also known as “Hit Maker” passed away a few days ago. We send our deepest respects to Rennie’s family and friends as we honor him in the second hour of this week’s program. Renford wrote many of The Melodians early hits like “Sweet Sensation,” “It’s My Delight,” and “Sweet Rose” as well as sensational tracks for Brent Dowe, who Rennie co-wrote many songs with, Marcia Griffiths, Sharon Black and Delroy Wilson. Rest in peace Rennie. XO Generoso and Lily
