Sugar Minott Passes Away

Lincoln Barrington "Sugar" Minott (May 25, 1956 – July 10, 2010)

Mr. Minott passed away at 54, leaving behind a rich legacy of Jamaican music. According to Howard Campbell of the associated Press, he passed on Saturday at the University Hospital of the West Indies in Jamaica's capital, Kingston. Although the cause of death is undisclosed at the time of death, he had canceled shows earlier due to chest pains. He was most notably remembered for his cover of The Jackson Five's "Good Thing Going".

LIVE in 83



The InCiters were scheduled to play with him this Thursday in San Francisco. The fact that I just missed my opportunity to share a bill with him is a deeply felt loss. 

May his soul have happiness and his family find the comfort they will surely need during this time of mourning. 


AND long may the music live.
