Happy Birthday to the late Roy Shirley

Ainsworth Roy Rushton Shirley (18 July 1944 – July 2008), better known simply as Roy Shirley, and also known as King Roy Shirley and The High Priest, was a Jamaican singer whose career spanned the ska, rocksteady and reggae eras, and whose “Hold Them” is regarded by some as the first ever rocksteady song. He was also one of the original members of The Uniques.
