[Jangle]

The artiste, whose real name is Fitzroy Edwards, died Saturday at the age of 62 at the May Pen Hospital in Clarendon.

Born in Chapelton, Clarendon, Edi Fitzroy was perhaps best known for the hit, Princess Black, done in celebration of the black female.

Edi Fitroy like his former friend Mikey "Dread" Campbell were to very cool, roots and down to earth rootsmen.

They would sit and talk to youths anywhere on any corner and was more concern about livity than the dollars.

Respect Edi, you and Mikey can link up in zion.

Real BIG man dat,and fully deserving to be a household name because of that tune.
Buju quickly became conscious because of the outcry his browning song evoked,and he made amends,will the bleacher entertainers apologize?
