Alton Ellis Funeral

[7mosesanderson]

That last guy who sang the last song, my God when he came in he just ushered in a power of praise. I really felt that one, I had to hold my hand up and start praising God here on my bed. Jesus died for us, let us serve him everyone before he returns. He won't be long now. JESUS

The first gig I ever took my wife to was Alton Ellis in Southamptin circa 1970. Then met him in Dub Vendor about 1985 ish. Great humility, so polite and upfull. Simply the best male vocalist Jamaica has ever produced. RIP Mr. Ellis, you are sadly missed.

RIP Alton Ellis. I watched one of your last performances in Utrecht, Holland with the Dutch Band the High Notes. Incredible show!! I'm of Jamaican heritage and also coming up to the stage in life where the generation above me are leaving us. Jamaican people as you see celebrate someone's life and its so typical to have a funeral life this. Its the way I want to go out.

[Groundhog13]

R.I.P. Godfather ... I'm glad I have experienced him live before he passed

[selassie391]

[H1ghtm4r3]

@selassie391 the first one is "Joy in the morning" and then it's "My willow tree"

[italrel]

RIP King of Rock Steady; for me you're the greatest singer ever.

[howie2754]

Alton Ellis death was a great shock for me as I was in a coma in the hospital when he died. After coming out several months later , I just came across it by chance when I was googling something about him. I searched several sites before I believed. He was a singer I loved immensely, one of, if not, the best voice out o Jamaica. I have seen him a ew times and he never fails to deliver a class performance. RIP Godfather

R.I.P Mr Rock Steady King, Your missed but not forgotten. You still live on in ur son Christopher.
