It is with utter sadness that we just heard that Ranking Roger of The (English) Beat passed away after an illness tonight. For the founders of Easy Star, the three English Beat records were important introductions to reggae and ska. He’ll be greatly missed.#RankingRoger #RIP pic.twitter.com/6bSvSQTbqU
