CLICK TO DONATE TO GREG LEE MEMORIAL FUND GOFUNDME
The Los Angeles and worldwide ska reggae scene is mourning the sudden passing of vocalist, Greg Lee, of LA ska traditionalists, Hepcat on March 19th. Lee (53) suffered an aneurysm and cardiac arrest on late Sunday, March 17th at his home in Paramount, CA and was placed on life support until his passing. Greg was an inspiration and a legend of California music. You knew it was Greg on the mic when his voice entered any tune and his presence onstage was unmatched. If you were lucky enough to catch the band live, you know what I'm talking about. The tributes will continue to roll out and my eyes are filled with tears as I write this. Rest in Eternal Riddim, Greg! Respect.
Episode contains the Hepcat songs, "Lovin' Man", "I Can't Wait", and "Dance Wid' Me". Also contains an audio excerpt from the band's 1998 appearance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien".
