Johnny Ringo R.I.P.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sad news reaches us via Rootsman on the B&F board. Apparently veteran deejay Johnny Ringo passed away earlier today.<\/p>\n

Readers of this blog will be familiar with his work through the Lyric Maker mix<\/a>, where his tracks \u201cDedicated to Jah\u201d, \u201cNew Yorker\u201d and \u201cNice and Easy\u201d battled it out with some Asher Senator tunes on the same riddims.<\/p>\n

The album from which these were taken was recorded whilst Ringo was in the UK in 1983 with Gemini Sound. Ringo is probably also quite well known for his classic \u201cWorking Class\u201d<\/a>, which appeared on the Pressure Sounds\u2019 Hitbound Selection: When The Dances Were Changing<\/em><\/a> compilation of early Channel One dancehall productions.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something very wrong with a world in which talents like Ringo not only die early, but die without their contributions to the world being fully recognised. All we can do is offer our thanks in retrospect and think good thoughts when the records are played \u2013 and played they will be\u2026<\/p>\n
