Yesterday we learned of the death of Reggae pioneer Jimmy Cliff at the age of 81, due to a seizure followed by pneumonia. His wife, Latifa Chambers, posted on social media: "To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career." Cliff helped to popularize Reggae in the 1960s, and propelled it to an international stage… Meanwhile, drummer Jellybean Johnson, best known for being a founding member of Prince's band The Time, died suddenly on Friday night at the age of 69. "The family of Jellybean Johnson is deeply saddened by the passing of their beloved husband and father," they wrote in a statement. "Jellybean was an innovator of what became known across the world as the Minneapolis sound, [and] the only drummer The Time ever had from inception to the current day. Jellybean loved his family, his friends, and the city of Minneapolis."… Lastly, The Stone Roses and Primal Scream bass player Gary "Mani" Mounfield passed away last week at the age of 63. His death came just after he recently announced an in-conversation tour of U.K. venues, which would have seen him recount his experiences with the Stone Roses and Primal Scream. The Stone Roses were at the forefront of the "Madchester" Indie Rock scene of the late 1980s and early ‘90s. They released their seminal debut album in 1989.
