Rest In Bass Robbie Shakespeare.

Rest In Bass Robbie Shakespeare. A massive heavyweight not only in reggae music, but bass playing in any genre. Half of the Sly & Robbie rhythm section / the Rhythm Twins, Robbie Shakespeare sadly passed away on Dec. 8th as a result of complications from kidney surgery. Let's enjoy a few of his basslines for an hour. Thank you for the music Robbie Shakespeare.
