Local music legend Prince Paul passed away in December following a battle with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). That he chose Duluth as his home years back after leaving Jamaica is something for which area reggae fans have been grateful, and his passing still saddens those who loved what he and the band The Conscious Party brought to our ears.
Caribbean Roots host David Woodward was able to have a conversation with him last fall. David describes this interview with Prince Paul as one where, despite the progression of his illness, he still emanated a positive vibration and happiness for the music he was able to create.
