Holding On To Jah Tribute To Sugar Minott
Watch Roger Landon Hall's video where Sugar explains his music and message.
The reggae world has been in mourning for passing of Lincoln Sugar Minott, singer, performer and talent spotter extraordinaire.

In swift response to the legendary vocalist’s demise, Landon Hall has assembled this video tribute from the many hours of footage shot for the movie. We invite you to watch, listen to and celebrate Sugar Minott during this sad time.

| In the roll call of Jamaican reggae artists, Sugar Minott will go down as having one of the greatest voices the island has ever produced (as good as, or better, than the likes of Cornell Campbell, Ken Boothe, Alton Ellis, Freddie McGregor and Beres Hammond to name handful of the best). More importantly was his absolute dedication to the craft of conscious roots reggae, unmoved by the faddishness of JA's music scene or the pitiful rewards, and his unselfish commitment to promoting young artists. JA has lost so many of its great pioneering reggae artists. Sugar Minott's passing is as big a loss for reggae as were the deaths of Coxsone, Augustus Pablo and King Tubby - all of them absolute originators of Jah's music. Forward on to Zion Sugar! | |

| It's not the dread upon yu head/ weh make yu be a rastaman/ them coulda tall till them touch the ground/ if you nah praisin Jah you're livin like a clown; you'll go down...- Sugar Minott. The prolific writer, the Honarable Lincoln Booga Sugar Minott wrote and sang the sweetest most melodic reggae, lover's rock, and dancehall songs. AND he was intelligent, humorous and cool. Check out songs like Jammin in the Streets, You've Got the Love I Need, Easy Sqeeze, Nice it Up, and Loving Jah [big respect to Minnie Ripperton]. Long Live the Energy of Sugar Minott. Peace and love to his family, and the conscious community at large! | |

| Rest In Peace Sugar Minott one of my musical heroes who when I first visited Easy Street Studios, London welcomed me with open arms. You took my band Musical Youth under your wing and spent many a time hanging out with us when we were in Jamaica filming videos and recording at studio 1. You will be missed by all of the remaining members of the band and please look after our bredren Patrick when you meet him wherever you maybe. Gone but not forgotten from all of Musical Youth. | |

| Even Though we are extremely sad to see the passing of another legend as Sugar Minott, I personally believe we should take this opportunity to spread the message this great artist has always stood for. He was one to speak Highly of the need to spread a good message, ensuring the music was for the healing of the soul. A student of STUDIO 1 now is the time to take out the old songs and go down memory lane, enjoy ourself, Sugar Minott made enough good tunes to last us a few weeks, this should enlighten the young ones about how brilliant this man was and the impact he had on reggae music. Has it happens I only reacently bought one of his old CD he was also on the Studio 1 story of the origins of reggae music, let the world knows how influential he was and his contribution to reggae music, because of great men like Sugar, these young now have a ready made music audience. We must always talk about how good these musicians were, the legacy will always be there for us and others to enjoy. |
