Mr Downie and the iconic shots of him, (wearing the lime-green cheesecloth dashiki and drenched in sweat (Live at the Lyceum) which were my first introduction to him, even before the music will remain forever in ny memory. A truly gifted keyboardist who added that extra finesse to the music of his band leader & the Wailers. Rest in Peace!
