What Happened To Gold? Don Carlos Beloved Sidekick 

I got a complaint about there being no sound. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

He is currently at a Nursing home in Maypen. After the USA tragedy where he was at a store that was being robbed and he got shot and was injured, he was transferred by the hospital to Jamaica after being hospitalized for a while. He was visited by Carlos once in Maypen but hasn’t been in touch in ages. He laments the fact that no one really cares. Good to see this RU-vid Chanel caring enough to write about him. Blessings!

I met Gold at Sammy Dread's record shop on Nostrand Ave in Brooklyn, New York in 1985. He saw me looking at Harvest time album and he walked up to me and said, "buy it nuh" I was 16 yrs old. A very cool Bredda. Bless Up Gold!

Those albums are the soundtrack to my younger days

Gold has passed .. was in a care home, sadly dropped out due to ill health.. Rest In Zion..

Never heard news or information about Goldie. Don Carlos always "straight to the top" as the icon he is. Thank you for this video, keep the good work. Until next time: Jah Bless!

Give Thanks for the video,,, Blessed Love,, Rastafari,, 🇱🇨👊🏽🇯🇲👍🏽❤️

This music Reggae music is so full of tragedy

Great duo 👏 i just finished listening to their album raving tonight

Thanks another good one. Do a follow up.

The sound is excellent here in Jamaica's overseas colony. 👍🏼😂 Your video & the information are also super interesting, as usual. Thank you for sharing.

'Then never know natty dread have him credentials' is another one of the CD's that I fished out of the used bin at the college record store. I had never heard of DonCarlos and assumed 'Gold" was the name of the band, but they looked pretty rasta so I took a chance that it wouldn't be dancehall. Still one of my favourites to this day.

Another good video!...although sad to learn of Gold's hardship in life. Thank you Don for all the music over the years. Rest peacefully Gold.

R.A.S. is a source of REAL history, been there done there!!!...OH Happy Day🌹🤩🌿

I saw him in the early 2000's without Gold. Wish I had witnessed them together

Thanks so very much for that info! I am a very big fan of Don Carlos and Gold!

Thanks brother for the information Jay bless

Listen to Black Harmony by Don Carlos awesome tune the late great Jah Shacka used to play it in the Coop in Catford

I saw them both performed together at a Eastern Parkway night club, location in Brooklyn, New York (somewhere off Nostrand Avenue vicinity) in the very early 1980s! Sad for such tragedy to have occurred for anyone! Hope the survivor, Don Carlos, is still doing well and is in good health and living a satisfactory life with loved ones amongst him. Brigadier Jerry had performed on that same stage too around that time! I am not sure if I had seen them both on the same night or a separate night, however, they had both performed on the same stage where I first saw each of them in person. The spot was large and was packed every Weekend.

Great info....as always Nice one!!

Gold 💛

Jah blessings and guidance

Thank you for shading light on one of the forgotten star of the 1980's who was a part and parcel of the great Don Carlos. It is a bit unsettling that a gentleman of the caliber of McCarlos would just shy away from one of his friends from his youthful past who contributed meaningfully to his career to be the big star that he is today. I hope this is a case of lack of accurate information available.

Good sound this side......

Sad!

This is really hard to hear once again. A Reggae musician union that helps artists in need of support is long, long overdue. Much love to RAS for highlighting Gold's situation, of which a positive is to soon happen for Gold we ask. ❤️💛💚🖤

Love this video don and gold was a good combination by the way any chance you can do a vid of winston scotland he was a great dj in the early 70s

Saw Don Carlos & Gold in ‘83 in Brixton, absolutely wonderful together, great harmonies.

As I heard he is in a hospital or carehouse at the moment, very lonely and sad, depending on others to support him.

I remember back in my skool dazs in Brooklyn listening to Black Uhuru then Don Carlos & Gold......I remember the incident in DC.....Gold should be entitled to Royalties

Gold should have some good royalty for his music

I hope Don Carlos helped him and cared for his friends as much as he could, even up until today. Someone says Gold has since passed...not sure if its true?

No sound

I now write songs because of Goldie's inspiration @Fixxtunes!
