Music Deaths: Ranking Roger of English Beat and General Public
RANKING ROGER, 56
Died March 26, 2019
English musician and member of English Beat and General Public. Had a big hit in 1985 with "Tenderness" (#27). This is a really great song. Give it a listen on You Tube under General Public.
Ska influenced and know for his Jamaican-style "Toasting" which is sort of rapping, but in a reggae style.
Be sure to listen to him as a member of English Beat doing "Full Stop," "Mirror in the Bathroom" and "Can't Get Used to Losing You."
