WATCH: Music fraternity pays final respects to Lieutenant Stitchie

Members of the musical fraternity gathered at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew on Saturday to bid farewell to veteran deejay Cleve Aman Laing, more popularly known as Lieutenant Stitchie.

Reggae artiste Tony Rebel, who was among the attendees, recalled his early years with Stitchie, describing his lyrical ability and the contribution he made to the music industry.

“Stitchie is an artist we rate from before we buss. We always see him at Stereo One, know say him lyrical bad, and when we buss, we have some youth where the whole of them used to go to Wolmer’s Prep and in the morning time when me and him buck up down there, it’s like we start to talk and them go in a class, and them come back home for break time at 11 and we still there to talk,” said Rebel.
