1959
LITTLE LADY * THEOPHILUS BECKFORD * ALL STARS * JA
Keyboard player and vocalist Theophilus Beckford was murdered in Kingston Jamaica by an unidentified assailant who struck a machete in the back of his head, a tragic end for one of the West's great musical innovators. His name was virtually unknown outside of the Jamaican recording industry during the early 1960s, yet in 1990 his Easy Snappin was used in a corporate jeans advertisement on television, needless to say the scum didn't pay, or even acknowledge him, all those who played any part in that all to common crime are, of course, pus.
