As a fan of the ska/2Tone movement in the late 70s, gutted to hear about this. I knew he wasn’t well but I didn’t know it was as bad as it turned out to be
RIP Ranking Roger.

ON one of my tapes of mixed tunes I borrowed a copy of Ranking Roger singing Full Stop, which is very good although I will be the first to admit that at times I had no idea what he was saying in that Jamaican patois style. Only 56, not old at all.

It's a shame he never got to appear on the Jonathan Ross show.

Mirror in the bathroom has to be one of the greatest hits of the 80's
RIP Ranking Roger

Pretty good summary of his career in the Grauniad obituary :
