Errol T

=== Legendary engineer Errol Thompson passed away on Sunday November

14. He was one of Jamaica's greatest engineers, and his work with Joe

Gibbs produced some of reggae's finest music including classic works

from Peter Tosh, Culture, Dennis Brown, Black Uhuru and the Mighty

Diamonds. For a sample of Errol Thompson's work with Joe Gibbs, see

The Mighty 2: Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson. Heartbeat A&R Director

Chris Wilson reflects... Errol was one of the great and important

figures in Reggae, and I was fortunate to meet and work with him. He

was so instrumental in the evolution of Reggae Music that his loss is

incalculable. He was responsible for the recording of some of the

greatest music ever released in Jamaica, including Burning Spear's

Marcus Garvey sessions. He never enjoyed the fame so justly due him

and many of his works have been attributed to others, but because of

his tenure at Randy's studio and his later work with producer Joe

Gibbs, Errol will always be remembered as a true legend.
