Last Thursday, Fitzroy 'Bunny Diamond' Simpson, reggae stalwart and one-third of the legendary reggae band Mighty Diamond was laid to rest. The funeral service for the accomplished singer was held at the Boulevard Baptist Church (St. Andrew) with solid support from the local music fraternity, all of whom came out to bid farewell to one of Jamaica's greatest music virtuosos. Bunny Diamond died on April 1 at the National Chest Hospital after a prolonged battle with an undisclosed illness. Bunny's passing came only days after the death of bandleader Donald "Tabby" Shaw, who was unfortunately gunned down by unknown assailants. Receiving the shocking news Culture Minister Olivia 'Babsy' Grange said, "It's devastating to lose Fitzroy' Bunny' Simpson and Donald "Tabby" Shaw in the same week. It is hard to believe that two Mighty Diamonds would die within days of each other." Tributes in words and songs were delivered by several noted members of the entertainment fraternity.

En apenas tres días han fallecido dos componentes de The Mighty Diamonds, Donald ‘Tabby Diamond’ Shaw en un tiroteo, y Fitzroy ‘Bunny Diamond’ Simpson por culpa de su diabetes. “Pass The Kouchie” de 1982 fue su tema más popular, en parte por la gran versión que hicieron poco después los niños Musical Youth, con letra cambiada sin referencias a las drogas y bajo el título “Pass The Dutchie”.

As we are coming up to the eve of Donald :Tabby Diamond" Shaw being laid to rest. We want to remember Tabby not just a man with a beautiful voice, but a family man, who has lived an amazing family life in love and harmony. Take a listen to his song "This World is going up in Flames " and remember his family in your prayers. The world did not just lose a precious artist. But a family has lost a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle and brother. Nuff Love to the Shaw family and all the derivatives, Henry, Cole and so forth. May JAH love cover you all with strength and guide you through the next two days...Soon come Friday May 20, Tabby will get to finally rest peacefully. ❤ Nuff love from our Family to yours the Warrens, Thomas, Allen's, Browns of Jamaica and Jobes, Njie, Sarr, Faal's of The Gambia.
