Obituaries: Jamaican-Canadian Reggae Star Ernie Smith, Taylor Kirk of Timber Timbre

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Traffic co-founder Dave Mason, Delta 72 frontman Gregg Foreman and Alan Osmond, oldest brother in the family band The Osmonds.

Ernie Smith (born Glenroy Anthony Michael Archangelo Smith), a Jamaican-Canadian reggae singer, guitarist and songwriter who found major success in the '70s, died on April 16, at age 80.

As a kid, the Jamaican-born Smith was influenced by his father’s music and guitar-playing. After high school, he played as lead guitarist for The Vandals a band he put together himself.
