Reggae Elder Sugar Minott Dies At 54
Reggae and dancehall pioneer Sugar Minott died Saturday at a hospital in Kingston, Jamaica, after suffering from a heart-related ailment. He was 54.
Lincoln Barrington “Sugar” Minott loved the music he helped create: When he’d perform, he’d shake his shoulders, bug out his eyes and then shut them tight with the music. When he smiled, which was often, an adorable gap would peek out between his teeth.
