One of the best that Jamaica has ever produced. He is well missed. I love all his songs.
I had the fortunate of meeting this man IN PERSON at Daddy Kool Records in Soho, London in the early noughties. I knew I was in the presence of greatness, but he was so humble, didn't act the big star, and he was still in contact with Coxsone Dodd, who was still alive that time. A huge, huge legend who is still sorely missed.

Very rare talent. One in a million.
A typical man of his time, a true gentleman in life and in his music
Love this man's music. A true artist and gentleman
What a great man! Thank God for his children keeping his music alive. This man did so much for music......
This man contributed so much to reggae music. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his seeds a.ka. Christopher Ellis, live in his music, and carry on what his father has moulded over the decades. One ALTON ELLIS. Iive up.
This was and is a true legend, king of rocksteady.
MAN FROM MY STREET IN TRENCH TOWN WITH HIS SISTER- HORTENSE. HOW CAN I FORGET. MULTIPLE MYELOMA IS A DEADLY BONE MARROW CANCER. JAH KNOWS BEST. R.I.P MY BRETHREN- MY ROCKSTEADY. SADLY MISSED.
He set the bar of excellence in reggae music, most artists like Dennis Brown will you, to meet Alton Ellis in a studio is like "Going to college", he were very respected along with Ken Boothe. Cut like "like live and learn" manifest his talent, I wanna thank Alton for a job well done, a great legacy. R.I.P....Peace..............................
I LOVE REGGAE Music and i bow down in Restpect to ALL Great Reggae STARS like Alton Ellis!!! RIP!
A mighty, mighty man. Long live Alton!!!
Greater than greatest, you made me so very happy. Miss you a lot Alton
I discovered ska, rocksteady and reggae music through the British-based "Two-Tone" movement in 1980 (when I was 14) . A few years later I started collecting the original Jamaican records including Alton Ellis's fabulous tracks like "Dance Crasher", "The Preacher" and "Cry Tough". Rest in power Alton Ellis!

All the great singers gone
Alton Ellis was a tremendous and unique talent, of the upper eschelon of reggae greats who made an indelible stamp on the genre, and in fact was one of its founders. Sadly, despite his healthful appearance and optimistic outlook at the time of this interview (if the date posted is when the interview took place), he would pass just over one month later on October, 10 2008.
this is lovely, RIP ★★★★★
Real big man,my respect sir
You gave us love in the morning
And more love in the evening
Now that you're gone
We're striving hard to continue
Without you
Through your music.
We love and miss you ALTON ELLIS.....The greatest Rocksteady entertainer in history! A Real Trench Town Rock. RIP legend!
rest in peace alton ellis,king of rocksteady
You will be missed.
R.I.P Mr Ellis, truly beautiful artist
Thank you for the music. Rest in Peace.xxx
Alton Ellis is the best singer ever and ever 🙂👍
Of course the Dr, had to give him optimistic out look.Some patients would want to hear the truth .
ALTON ELLIS LEGEND🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🎤🎤
Still listening to his music in 2022…
Beautiful voice and tunes ❤
Class act - makes me proud.
Blessings to his family and Respect to his hard work and contribution to this world with his tremendous art. Creator of the Rocksteady reggae music, so Nice to listen it.
thanks for this.rip mr.ellis
On a side note, the doctor must have stretched the truth to him to make him feel hopeful. My mom died of multiple myleoma in relatively short order. There is no way the facts back up 50% of patients surviving. It also spreads through the bone. It is not contained. But that is a separate topic for another day. Blessings to his fam and living supporters of his music.
He died a month after this interview ..RIP legend
One of the nicest men I've ever met.
Que Deus o tenha em um bom lugar rei do ROCKSTEADY
One of the first internationally recognize rock-steady/ reggae songs was, Get ready, come do rocksteady, you've to do it right, like uncle Freddy,,, BY ALTON ELLIS, who remember that song? apart from recording a with Coxone he had quite a fine body of work with Duke Reid too, I'm very upset when I go to even Jamaican Hotels and all they play is Bob Marley, when they are so many other good singers from that era,, dem also stereo typing the genre by making the Marleys win reggae Grammy every Year,, I didn't want to say this, but I often wonder if this has anything to do with skin color,
Possible skin tone may be partly a reason even tho not that significant of a reason in my opinion.
I more so focus on the bigger picture where our people need to be more actively involved on the business level of the music industry so we can make the decisions and own distribution companies. We have all the talent but other races control our own art and culture. Why is it we can not have our own music hall of fame whether foreign or locally. Reggae artist have been robbed of their talent and hard work and received little compensation for it over decades . Not forgetting soul legends also in the USA that set the pace for newer artists today .
jah bless you forever
A true great!
HON ALTON ELLIS
