A legend in my eyes. Been riding around with DD and the Aces pumping from my car for the last two days in tribute.

Is your old man gutted too, Mick?

Yeah, though, and I don't mean this in a bad way, Dekker was more commercial--that is, accessible to non-reggae fans, too--than many other artists who've died and my dad's been gutted about.

Laurel Aitken died last July, too.
