From Yoruba Singers

It is with shock and deep regret I opened your email today 
13th October 2003 and learned of the death of Papa!

Its difficult for me to reply directly to this news but 
this I can say; I have never met him personally but I 
always regarded him as a Father Figure one who is very 
caring.  I will always remember how excited he was about 
the new Membership from Guyana which happen to be my group 
the Yoruba Singers Band, it was as if we were his Children 
encouraging, giving advice and wishing the best for us.

It took us 4 years to do another Reggae Album and we were 
awaiting his review so it is good to know that he was 
still excited about the group and we are glad at least he 
got the chance to hear the Album, moreso that he had liked 
it.  We will always remember him and will strive to be 
ambassadors always.

On behalf of the Yoruba singers Band we would like to send 
our deep condolances to any surviving relative and the 
family of Raw on his passing; we know he will be greatly 
missed, but his time on earth was well spent.  He has left 
a legacy that is rich and will benifit many more to come 
though he is not around.

Yours truly

Ms Charmaine Blackman
