So diabetes then.  It was Brazil, not Mexico that I saw the footage of him.  Apparently thats when they realised something wasn't quite right.

The ludicrous thing though, while he rotted away in a partly built house in poverty in Jamaica, his records from 1968 to 1970 often sell for over £100 a time...Kingstonians sales on Ebay for just one year must be over £5000

I am as guilty of spunking money on vinyl recorded by artists that live or have died in extreme poverty...it is a sad world we live in

 

I had seen some pictures of Jackie living in what can only be described as squalor, with incontinence problems, and his dentures had been stolen in a recent hospital visit..it was enough to make me do something (which wasn't much to be honest) if only to make me feel less guilty
