History records that Garnett was sitting with a couple of friends at his mother’s house in Mandeville, Jamaica, on December 9, and a gun accidentally misfired, hitting a propane tank and setting the house ablaze. Garnett, his friends, and his two brothers made it out safely. However, Garnett’s mother was still inside. The loving son rushed back into the flames to save his mother, but they both perished. SO SAD
I was thinking I had to go and meet with his mother to tell her how much her son's songs have influenced and touches my soul but then I learned that she died with him during the fire. One day I know I will converse with them in Zion.I am overjoyed to discover that his son is carring on the message.His latestest record is," Let Ruben Live!" They can kill Garnet's body but his soul lives on for "iternity!" He is a message is the word of Jehovah which can never end. Touch NOT the Lord's annointed.
I too lost my Mother,at 97years young,may her soul rest in peace,and to all Mothers,I and I as Sons and daughters are missing that tender loving care our Mama has passed on to us all.Much love and rasspect to all Mothers.🌹💕🇧🇴

I've have looking for this song on a cd for over ten years now. Got a copy from a friend i baltimore. Sure miss this voice and lyrics. A fine man and human beeing. R.I.P
beautiful man .. my first nursery song was Splashing Dashing which was taught us on a council estate in south east london by Rasta who taught it to the nuns and so we all sang it every day.. later when Garnet Silk did it, it was so beautiful, he did it so so lovely.. it brought all those memories back of all those children, all different race, all singing and that to me is Garnet's legacy
A Legend is what he IS... i believe that if he were alive today the music industry wud have been totally different cuz i have no clue what they sing these days it jus have no substance hence the reason im here and not on a Vybz page...
i heard this tune years ago,couldnt remember his name...WICKED!!!!!the hair on the back off my neck r stood up an every thing man!!music dont make u feel like that no more man!!
