From a report by the BBC:
Reggae star Alton Ellis, known as "the Godfather of rocksteady", has died at the age of 70.The Jamaican-born singer, who moved to Britain in the 1970s, achieved fame with a number of hits, including "I'm Still in Love" and "I'm Just a Guy."
He was a leading pioneer of the more laid-back "rocksteady" sound, which came out of Jamaica in the 1960s.
Ellis was still performing until August this year, when he collapsed after a concert in central London.
