Noooooo!!!!!
Wow. This makes me so sad. I had the great honor of meeting him one night at Roots Bamboo just before he took the stage. What charisma. I will never forget the energy I felt. He was an amazing talent and will be terribly missed. My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.
So very sad. Third World was one of my first reggae concerts (1985). RIP William "Bunny Ruggs" Clarke.
RIP (Bunny Ruggs) They were the first reggae concert I went too also.
Bob Marley and the Wailers was my first reggae concert in 1976 and then Peter Tosh in 1983 both in the US but in Jamaica in 1988 I had the pleasure of seeing Third World and Garnett Silk in their hometown of Mandeville.
It was a life changing moment in time. May Bunny and Garnett make beautiful music wherever the are!
Peace and Guidance

Garnett and Bunny were both incredible singers. I saw a video once of Third World at a Great House in Jamaica. Trying to remember what that was. Would love to watch it again. Mystical aura to it. Wish I could remember it. Can't find it online anywhere.
Third World played MxIII after the marathon Dec 2008 it was one of the best I have seen.
The Spirit Lives, one of my favorites, from the 2010 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival.
Jam all the way to Zion, Bunny Rugs. Jah knows the spirit lives. Jah know it will never die.

Love that one too. Sax on it is beautiful! And makes me miss Irie Jamaica.
I believe that is Dean Fraser on the sax, love that guy. I believe he mainly tours with Tarrus Riley now if you want to hear more reggae with his sax.
Thought about you today jsteil, after picking up a copy of Tarrus Riley's new album called "Love Situation". Came out on iTunes on 2/4. Started groovin' on that sax player again and looked it up. It is definitely Dean Fraser. The new album is very good. Check it out.
I love his voice. Remember seeing them in Philly and was mesmerized by his voice when he come on stage blowing this song...Sleep peacefully William "Bunny Rugs" Clarke

Just an amazing version, *vi*. One of the best I've heard. Thanks for sharing!
I purchased it 2/5 from Itunes. Only listened to half the album so far. The album will grow on me as I listen to it several times. My wife love, love, loves Tarrus Riley.Quote:
