From The New York Times:
Philip Burrell, one of the most prolific and influential Jamaican record producers of the last 20 years, died on Dec. 3 in Kingston, Jamaica. He was 57.
The cause was a heart attack, said his wife, Carmelita Bailey Burrell.
Mr. Burrell churned out two decades’ worth of hit records and championed future reggae stars like Sanchez, Pinchers, Luciano and Sizzla. But his most important achievement was upholding the music’s great sonic and spiritual traditions.
