R.I.P. Joe Gibbs – Reggae In Paradise

February 27th, 2008

Reggae music lost another champion of the island sound: Joe Gibbs, legendary producer, recording engineer, label founder and manager died of a heart attack at the age of 65. Gibbs created one of my favorite reggae tunes of all time – “Two Sevens Clash” – recorded by Culture in 1977.
