Alton Ellis

Good bye my freind

Never knew rock steady could sound so good. I am now a huge fan of Alton Ellis O D. I have just purchased an album by the great man dated 1970 and can't wait until I receive it in the post. His song willow tree brings years to my eyes. Voice of an angel. I watched his concert with his son Christopher in 2008. It was so moving the way he helped his father knowing he was ill. Christopher if you read this you are a great son and the the respect you have for your dad is pleasing to see. You carry the baton for your da. Respect Alton! I am now a true fan and will be eternally. R.I.P.

Rest in peace Alton you were one of true legends .R.Menzies

I grew up in the 1960's with the magnificent ROCK-STEADY maestro.I still play those great hits in my car nearly a half of a century later.

god bless you alton. thanks for the music. i will never forget you.

A Great Man and a Great Singer. I only got to see you once, but I had a awesome time at the show in Hollywood. I had Great time drinking and dancing to your music. And I will continue to drink and dance to your music. SHARP for LIFE

Sing on forever Alton ... you are only sleeping. I have only to turn on my system or go to a dance and your voice pours out. Your impact on my generation of Jamaicans and Rocksteady lovers cannot be measured. To The World !!

I am deeply saddened by Alton's passing. There isn't a week that goes by where I do not listen to Alton Ellis. He will truly be missed.

Thanks for the music and the impact on reggae. You leave many dear love ones and fans with wonderful memories. Despite his tragic lost there is still a reason for hope. Jesus said at John 5:28, 29 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life." What a wonderful time it will be when all families and friends are reunited until perfect conditions.

Rest in peace and thank you for the music.

REST IN PEACE ALTON ELLIS
