Reggae drumming legend Sly Dunbar dead at 73

Born Lowell Fillmore Dunbar in 1952 in Kingston, Jamaica, Dunbar was a teen drum prodigy who played on Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters' 1969 single "Night Doctor" and Dave and Ansel Collins' LP "Double Barrel," whose title track topped the U.K. singles chart. After meeting bassist Robbie Shakespeare in 1972, the pair built distinct rhythms such as the insistent "Rockers" groove that bolstered canonical reggae tracks.
