Sly and Robbie - David Letterman Show 1985 

Every album I've ever heard that had Sly & Robbie as the rhythm section has been brilliant. From Black Uhuru to Joe Cocker (Sheffield Steel), from Bob Dylan to the Taxi tours and albums. Horrible news that Robbie's gone.

Here, paying my respects to Robbie Shakespeare. RIP.

I was fortunate enough to meet Sly & Robbie after a show in Seattle in September 2009, when I was just twenty years old. Robbie Shakespeare in particular was really special to me, since he was one of the main reasons I became a bass player. Both guys couldn’t have been more gracious and easygoing. Even at 1:00 AM, they made time to chat with everyone who came to meet them.

Rest in Powers Mr Robbie Shakespeare give thanks for the vibes

Who Else Came Here After Hearing The Passing of the Legend Robbie Shakespeare? 💚💛❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Anyone hating on this is just clout chasing. This could have easily been on any of the late 80s Taxi Gang albums

R.I.P. Robbie Shakespeare. Sleep easy.

The 1985 hybrid drum kit!!!! Love it. This song is very emblematic of the 80’s Reggae, the synth sounds, the square rhythms very “cocaine vibe” as opposed to the 70’s herb based w/ horn section

Came here to say thanks for the music Robbie. Rip

Rest In Peace Robbie! Jah Bless
