From The Huffington Post:
Jimmy Little, one of Australia’s most famous Aboriginal musicians, died Monday after a long illness, his family said. He was 75.
The iconic artist died at his home in the city of Dubbo, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Sydney, after a long struggle with diabetes, kidney problems and a heart condition, his family said in a statement.
Little was one of the first indigenous artists to win mainstream success in Australia, playing everything from country to reggae across a nearly 60-year career.
