I’m almost two years late. Joe Gibbs was one of my favourite producers growing up. “Boxing” Cornell Campbell, “My Woman” Barrington Levy, “Let Me Love You” Dennis Brown, just to name a few. He had a great sound. Since being introduced to Afrobella my reggae roots have been revived.

Wow, small world. I found your site after seeing you had linked to a Joseph Hill video featuring a recording in Joe Gibbs’ studio. I scroll down the page and see your image was a image I did for a Joe Gibbs podcast I did some time ago…

Indeed, rest in peace Baba Gibbs.

…I don’t know much about Gibbs, but since he’s had a direct hand in all the reggae greats you referenced then I’ve been touched by his genius…sorry to hear about his passing.

I love the work of Joseph Hill/Culture…Two seven clash is a great album, the title track is a favorite of mine and I also love I’m not ashamed.

You shook the dust off a good one; if any of your readers are interested in a good vintage reggae session tune into http://www.cbc.bb/index.pl/radio1 on Sundays at 2:00 p.m eastern time.

P.s great show on News & Notes!

My favorite Joe Gibbs tune is Fist to Fist Rub a Dub by Kojak and Liza.

RIP, Joe.

Two of my favorite tracks that ‘Sir Gibs’ produced, Culture’s “Black Starliner Must Come” and Dennis Brown’s “Ain’t That Loving You.”

Thanks for word of his passing.
