Saturday Scratch #54 - Jimmy Riley

Saturday Scratch, an occasional series that shines a light on a selection with a Lee 'Scratch' Perry connection. 


And so we bid farewell to Jimmy Riley at 61, yet another musical great lost to cancer. His career was a long one, stretching back to the mid-1960s, during which time he worked with many legendary names in Jamaican music, including Bunny Lee, Sly & Robbie, Duke Reid and a brief stint with Lee Perry. Here are a couple of tunes produced by Scratch, who also duets with Jimmy on 'Yagga Yagga'. Rest easy Mr Riley.
