Ovenst\u00e5ende tekst\u00e5bning fra ‘Cry Tough’, denne sides absolutte yndlingssang med Alton Ellis, s\u00e5 k\u00f8ligt velsyngende pioner p\u00e5 Jamaica’s rocksteady-scene i midt-60’erne, har nu vist sig at indeholde trist meget selvprofeti. Ellis, der i sin storhedstid ogs\u00e5 havde store jamaicanske hits med is\u00e6r ‘Dance Crasher’, ‘Get Ready – Rock Steady’ og \u00a0‘(Girl) I’ve Got A Date’, d\u00f8de nemlig fredag i Hammersmith, London, efter l\u00e6ngere tids sygdom.<\/p>\n

Hans sublime ‘Cry Tough’ kan indtages og nydes lige her<\/a>.<\/p>\n
