Sad to learn Rico Rodriguez has died aged 80.
Trombone player with The Specials, he was an influential figure in the development of the British ska and 2 Tone movements in the 1970s and 80s after moving to England from Jamaica in the 1960s. He was awarded an MBE for services to music in 2007.
God bless.

There was mention of Rico on BBC 6Music following his death.
He was already in his 40s when The Specials had their big hits.
An essential part of their sound.
RIP Rico Rodriguez.
