Robert Warren Dale Shakespeare (27 September 1953 – 8 December 2021) was a Jamaican bass guitarist and record producer, best known as the one half of the reggaerhythm section and production duo Sly and Robbie, with drummer Sly Dunbar.
@AlanH I have to admit that the first time I heard of him was in the Sly & Robbie name drop in the lyrics of Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club, the line "Reggae's expanding with Sly and Robbie."
Aw no. I reckon he played bass with just about everybody. One of the coolest dudes around.
