Never have there being a band with so many members famous singers, truly epic band with so much credentials.
Sandra “PUMA” Jones was a friend of mine I remember going to visit her when she lived on Convent Ave bet 140 & 141st St and I lived on 142nd and Convert. She was a very down to earth person I am grateful that I had got to know her RIH Sister.
I wish i could meet her too.
I don't know how i feel every time i look at puma's face
Puma was a social worker by profession and would come to Africa House on Lenox Avenue near 125th Street to Hail Up, Empress the owner. Oh, how Puma was loved, admired, and respected. Nobody could copy her African dance moves and impeccable style.
Love forever Black Uhuru,
So many legendary singers
and Sly and Robbie at the controls
INCREDIBLE BAND!
Greetings, I am deeply saddened to hear of Robbie's passing. My condolences to his wife, family & fans.
Robbie was a wonderfully irie bredrin & I was honoured to have toured with him & Sly Dunbar during my time as a Black Uhuru member.

Second:
I had the pleasure to attend the Black Uhuru reunion tour in Santa Cruz Ca. The tour was to promote their Now LP, which I ended up buying the cassette format at the concert and still have it.
I think i should listen to it before calling it a night . Rest In Peace Star

We attempted to put together a short time line of the success of the Black Uhuru band, but got some imagery incorrect. We hope to be more accurate in the future. May Jah bless you in all you do.

Bro. Brixton grew up on their sound and many others. Always wanted to know where these people are now. Now I no longer live in Brixton. But love the vibe. Ps I am a dinosaur. 57yrs young, white etc but boys in Brixton kept me sweet. Thanks for the update. Love and respect. Jerome.
I still playing black Uhuru Derek Simpson you always my friend we gettin old
Saw them reunited in a concert in San Juan Puerto Rico, in the 90’s. Great performance
At one point the crowd got into the stage dancing around the band… then some fool stole the drummer’s hat s they stopped the music for a minute. Very disrespectful. The band was great
I was heavily stoned on Christmas day to say the least thank you for all the wonderful years
Kings of Kings & Queens of Queens Jah bless!
What about janet "Olafunke" Reid ? JR's Ried's sister who also sang with the band. if fact on the album she was on. Her name was listed as Olafunke
Greetings. Many apologies for leaving out some of the past members of the Black Uhuru band 🎹🎹🎹
I never realized that was Jr Reid's sister!
Don carlos 20 years in that pic? No way! That picture was taken in 1994, Don was around his 40’s!!!
Good work general
Michael, Sly and Puma best stack
I born 1963 too and I never know that Junior is same as me? Wow!!!
Keep up the great musical work Errol🎶
OH REST IN PEACE SANDRA PUMA JONES REST IN PEACE A ND ROBBIE SHAKESPEARE REST IN PEACE ELDER RASTA JAH RASTAFARI 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🦁🦁🦁
Was never the same for me after Michael left.
Michael rose 20 years in that photo? Are you crazy? He was at least 38!!!
The group's strongest period was definitely between 1977-84 with Michael Rose at the helm...But wait a minute..! Funny..Where are Sly Dunbar and Janet Olakfunde... Lol !!!l
KLGMEDIA would like to apologise for any omission of past band members
RIP. Robby 😘
If Robbie Shakespeare is mentioned, how comes Sly Dunbar wasn't mentioned.??
Please listen to TRY IT and tell me if this is not where the SLENG TENG RIDDIM came from

I love you!
RIP Robbie

Black Uhuru is currently signed with LAW RECORDS
Sounds like someone needs to work harder on trying to speak jamaican patois, as well as getting all info right😅
All legendary vocalist, but Duckie shoulda ended the band after Mike left Puma died and shoulda got success under another name.
