Lee 'Scratch' Perry: The Last Visit With The Legend

Lee “Scratch” Perry, the pioneering dub producer and musician who tore open the sound of reggae, passed away at the age of 85 on August 29th, 2021. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Perry had returned to his home of Negril, a beach town in western Jamaica, from Switzerland, where he had lived since 1989. Rolling Stone visited Perry in Negril just weeks before he passed away.

God Bless You, Mr. Perry, for giving me 44 years of the most excellent music, many, many laughs and happiness. You helped me shape my life and influenced me, and countless others for the better. Give thanks and praise for man from Hanover Jamaica. You were like a friend to me, but I don't have to worry about you, because you are safely in the arms of the Almighty God. Rest in Heavenly Peace, Mr. Lee "Scratch" Perry. Peace and Love Simon Chowins.

[@mobilesoundexperiments3719]

RIP Scratch, you'll always be remembered.
1:49 OMG hahahah, a Magic the Gathering water card xD

[@danielmazurek7203]

thanks for this. scratch was scratch, life is not the same without him and he is missed. I saw him 3 or 4 times in the last few years before covid and he was awesome, I never had that feeling anywhere else and it is really sad my life won't have that again, and I know so many people feel the same. rip

[@voice_from_pizza]

True legend - his poetry was underrated; overshadowed by his raw sound talent, and the genius of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Desmond Dekker, Toots, etc. but his poetry was great. My number one Jamaican producer. Even when he was insane I think he was always a little bit sane (so was I.) Scratch The Upsetters Again and Dry Acid are must have compilations, among all his other work. Who else worked with Coxsone, Gibbs AND Tubby AND Marley?? I Know A Place......

[@jackson-ch]

Lee Perry is a true legend and has left behind so much magic.

[@bouncygangsta]

1:48 I bet Scratch lived so long since he played mono blue control. But a man can keep the devils damnation from resolving only so long until you run out of win conditions. RIP great dub warrior, forever in our hearts

[@chevycolombo5007]

How did he die though? I still cannot find a true answer or any answer at all. Could It possibly be another one of his tricks? Love Perry's music.

no wonder they killed him after this

[@nunyabizz50]

Sad to see that he went insane.

[@petemartin6155]

I don't see insanity. I see poetry.

[@deanl0]

Just shows who is the sad sack jo
Lee always been doing his poetry on another level . and forever will..

[@biggasmelly]

My friend, Lee Perry was not insane at all. He was a free thinker and a super conscious individual. He was supremely spiritual and psychic, nothing he says was from an insane mind.

[@JohnR32111]

People typically fear and criticize what they don’t understand. Insane is just a word conceived by limited human perception and language. Scratch transcended conceptual limitations and expanded and vibrated in the quantum field masterfully and lovingly with no fucks given to naysayers.

[@possiblykombuchaslim9339]

this is a man completely void of societal conditioning. A man completely in control of his thoughts. Was John the baptist not seen as insane in his time?
