'Death A Come': R.I.P. Lloyd 'Cuss Cuss' Robinson

By Jah Rebel

With the falling of the leaves we also have to say goodbye to a couple of Jamaican reggae heroes; last month The Melodians' Tony Brevett already passed away and on November 5 Lloyd Robinson also left us.

Robinson was a long-time member of The Tartans (see Cedric Myton) and together with Devon Russell he was the duo Lloyd and Devon. He also worked together with Coxsone Dodd as well as with Duke Reid (and a bunch of other producers), but it is mainly that one song, the immortal 'Cuss Cuss' produced by Harry J and recorded in Studio one, that the entire reggae community will be eternally grateful for. If you want to read more on Robinson, best check out this interview from 2012.
