Lee “Scratch” Perry, one of the towering figures in reggae music, died Sunday at a hospital in Lucea, Jamaica at age 85. No cause of death was immediately given. The news was confirmed …
as “patriarch of the hypnotic and weirdly seductive style of dub — one of Jamaica’s biggest contributions to the lexicon of popular music.Perry became one of the most iconic figures in Jamaican music on the strength of his collaborations with the Wailers in the late ’60s and the visionary productions recorded during the ’70s in his own Black Ark studio, which he literally burned to the ground in 1980. He’s always been more of a producer than a singer… But Perry is more than just a voice.
Of his association with Bob Marley, Perry told NME, “We worked like brothers ‘til Chris Blackwell saw it was something great and came like a big hawk and grab Bob Marley up. … If he had listened to Scratch, the idiot, the shit, the madman, he wouldn’t have died.” When he was 60, he worked with the Beastie Boys on the “Hello Nasty” album. “It was great, great fun,” he recalled of the collaboration. “They were nice Jewish boys and they were clean inside. Very lovely. They called me ‘Dr. Lee, PhD’ because they could feel that I loved them. They were very good boys, wonderful.”
