RIP Lucky Dube: 1964-2007
October 19th, 2007 by Pete - - Posted in Reggae, World |
The world loses another great musician. In a senseless & random act of violence, South African reggae star Lucky Dube was shot and killed outside of Johannesburg yesterday in an attempted carjacking - in front of his children, mind you. What a wonderful world we live in…
Lucky isn’t too well known here in the U.S. (at least on the mainstream side of things), but on the other side of the world, the man is HUGE (including Seychelles, where my wife is from).
RIP Lucky Dube.

I know he has been blessed wherever he is now. May God nerver take his eyes off you. You will forever be a blessing to my life. I only wish I knew you in person. Your music always keeps me moving when my spirit is down.
