The reggae world is mourning the passing of acclaimed singer, songwriter, arranger, and producer Errol Organs, who transitioned on Thursday night at 10:30 p.m. in Jamaica after a long battle with illness. News of his passing was shared by his sister in a message to UK publicist Chez Ford, who confirmed the sad event.<\/p>\n

Organs, a beloved figure in reggae music and a proud son of Trench Town, the birthplace of root rock reggae, had been battling ill health for some time. Despite his struggles, he remained committed to his art and to spreading the authentic sound of Jamaica across the world.<\/p>\n

A prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Mrs. Cedella Marley Booker, the mother of reggae icon Bob Marley, Errol Organs was revered for his humility, musical craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication to the spiritual and cultural roots of reggae. His sound carried the essence of Marley\u2019s message\u2014music with consciousness, soul, and purpose.<\/p>\n

\"\"Over the years, Organs established himself as a singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and arranger of great depth. He produced several influential riddims, including \u201cFederal\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and \u201cRebel Reggae,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> featuring renowned artists such as Capleton, Anthony B, and George Nooks. His commitment to authentic reggae earned him respect among both peers and fans worldwide.<\/p>\n

Organs\u2019 first major performance came at Reggae Sumfest 1993 in Montego Bay, marking the beginning of a career that would take him to audiences across Jamaica, Africa, Australia, Europe, the United States, and Canada. Among his many performances, his appearance at the 45th Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in July 2011 stands out as one of his most memorable. His final major performance was at the Omaha Solstice Reggae and World Music Festival in Nebraska, USA, in June 2014.<\/p>\n

As a producer, Organs worked not only on his own music but also on projects for other respected artists such as Capleton, Natural Black, and Anthony B. His albums, including \u201cPeople Power\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and \u201cAsk, Seek, Knock,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> showcased his raw vocal power and deep spiritual messages. His singles \u2014 \u201cTrenchtown Experience,\u201d \u201cRebel Reggae,\u201d \u201cTrue Love,\u201d \u201cHave No Fear,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and \u201cForever Loving Jah\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 remain powerful testaments to his musical legacy.<\/p>\n

Errol Organs was based in Canada for many years but remained deeply connected to his Jamaican roots. He continued to record and perform, earning accolades such as The Bob Marley Memorial Award at the Toronto Reggae Music Awards.<\/p>\n

One of his most recent album, \u201cLet My People Go,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> featuring standout tracks \u201cLet My People Go\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and \u201cOn That Day,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> is available on major platforms including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and ReverbNation.<\/p>\n
