RIP to one of reggae's finest lead vocalist, Tabby Diamond. Your spirit will forever live in the consciousness of the millions that you positively impacted. Your work will forever shine like a diamond.
RIP Tabby. You were the reason why I dived deep into reggae in the early 80's, a journey that changed my musical life. Album called CHANGES. I sang with you in my car, circa 1999 or 2000 in Geneva, Switzerland. Truly reggae's sweetest voice and oh so 'spot on'. You asked me to drive you downtown for a post concert dinner. I asked you if you'd ever considered going solo? Your reply: "the Diamonds are and will always be the trinity". True, one can spot a few Tabby gone solo 7" and 12" , but that's it. Despite you had the voice and charisma to go solo, you stayed loyal to your Mighty Diamond 'brothers' for most of your career. Unbelievable what just happened...RIP

I WENT TO THE MIGHTY DIAMOND SHOW IN FLORIDA IT'S WAS A BEAUTIFUL SHOW NEVER FORGET THE CROWD WAS SAYING WE WANT DIAMOND MY FIRST TIME TO A SHOW THAT'S WHEN I KNOW JAMAICAN HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL COUPLES
I loved this group right from my childhood days, I am 55yrs old now and am surprised that it's still the same music and voices. Though age is telling on their physical bodies but not on their voices. Love you mighty diamonds. Live for ever.
Mighty Diamonds! ...Angels on assignment. They're great and their songs shall forever be evergreen. I remembered hearing most of their songs as a child not knowing they were the voices behind those beautiful songs! Now i am 46! I love them!
Sad and shocked, two Diamonds have passed away in four days 😢 RIP Fitzroy "Bunny Diamond" Simpson and Donald "Tabby Diamond" Shaw. My condolences to family and friends. Thanks Rototom for sharing this concert.

Nice to see these legends are still kicking it after so many years in the business. Tabby's voice hasn't changed at all since the 70s when they did pass the kouchie.
Wow, This is "bad". Sound good. I am jigging. Listening to these guys from I am in my teens. I havent listened to them in a long time. RIP Tabby Diamond.
So good to see Tabby still singing sweet and bringing the Mighty Diamond sound after all these years ! I was with them at Reggae Sunplash '81 (the Bob Marley tribute) with the band that backed them there -- Phone Bill, from Berkeley, California ! "We got to live some life ... before we go ! "
Have mercy,it's the Mighty Diamonds.Bless up to the three of you.Rastafarei lives and so do your music.It always help me thru good an bad times of my livety.Jah bless an guide you all.
This is such a blow to reggae music and Jamaica as well. To lose members of this profoundingly outstanding band is just beggars belief am still in shock. Rip to you both, will be truly missed. I grew up on these music and to see he was one of the few icons still living and ti be taken out like this...shows the great disregard for life in Jamaica. The world is watching while Jamaica and it's government sit back and allow these hoodlums to take over.
TAbby was a very Homely man he loved he’s grand Children plus he’s Family grew up listening to The Mighty Diamond s The Best Song they was Close to you. Your music will live on forever Why did they have to murder Tabby he was having a dance with he’s friends then he was murdered Rest Internal Peace Tabby🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Certainly, no one is eternal, even the greatest reggae artists in Jamaica... #Tabby Diamond was one of them, a great Jamaican artist, and he was killed yesterday by the side of a road! He will remain among us through his songs and his group "The Mighty Diamond". RIP #Orlando "Tabby" Shaw 😢😢

'Time waits for no man', the saying goes and so very true. I have just discovered them and in a few minutes they have gone from young men in their twenties to middle aged or older men. There is one thing that does not change and that is the sound of the voice unless one has or had a cyst, cancer or encountered strain on the voice box. I am listening on my headphones. I was listening to the lead singer, singing Pass The Dutchie, made famous by the UK's Musical Youth youngsters. He was a young man full of energy. This show had finished so I had to refresh it and now I see him as a very mature man. I never could have guessed his age from a distance. And I can still see his personality I saw in that first video. I have to order their music on Amazon, now. The songs are so soothe. Maturity is in the body but youthfulness can remain in the head if your memory remains.
Rest In Zion Tabby and Bunny Diamond. Your music will live on. To the remaining Diamond Judge, blessings. My confidences to you. May you one day find peace to come to terms with your loss. To Tabby’s and Bunny’s family and friends condolences to you also.
Migthy diamonds the legends, one of my favorite groups. but i miss songs like gang war.The best voice har monies and best leader vocalist and the best dance hall dancer.Long live migthy diamonds.
Biggest fan ever of the great mighty dimonds, this group helped mold my life for the last 49 years and helped clam down my soul with their majestic sounds through troubled times. myself and tabby are the same age of 66..myself and the whole of Brooklyn NY are in mourning of this godly kings passing..RIP..🤲🙏🏻🤲👏

How sad to see so little public to hear a legendary group that contributed to making the history of Roots Rasta Reggae,in the sense that they deserve much larger crowds. I don't love all their works, but we all know the modern evolution of reggae. The fact remains that their original music and their lyrics will forever remain in cultural history of the Reggae epic far beyond the Caribbean borders. JAH guide
THE VOICES ARE AND STILLS REMAIN AND MAJOR PART AND TITEL OF DI MIGHTY DIAMONDS ! THIS UNIQE QUALITY OF THIS TRIO EVEN THOUGH THE HAVE TRAGICAL CHANGES IN THEIR FORMATION BUT THIS EVER SO POWERFUL LEÄD VOCAL IT LIKE MONUMENT INORESERVATION ! LIVE ON MI LION
Icons of Reggae’s rhythms and vibes, my life would not be full without knowing their music and vocals. My thanks and peace to all my fellow Mighty Diamonds community xx i
