Late last night, I found out that Joseph Israel died on March 2nd of this year.
I was first exposed to the music of Joseph Israel over a decade ago. A longtime fan of reggae myself, a friend of mine in Wisconsin had given me a CD of his to check out. While I did enjoy it at the time, it wasn't until recently that I actually began really listening to his music. After hearing him mention Arkansas in an interview I was watching on YouTube last night, I decided to google his name to find out more information about him. It was at that time I learned that he had just died. In the video below, I share some of my thoughts and reflections.
MY REACTION AND THOUGHTS
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY JOSEPH ISRAEL
"Gone are the Days" was the album that I first heard from Joseph Israel. Lately I've been checking out some of his other music on YouTube and enjoying a lot of what I hear. While it is sad to reflect that his musical ministry on earth has ended, the music and the message will continue, and Joseph finished his race here. These are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy.
Until next time…
