Throughout his storied 60-year career, Clifton “Jackie” Jackson played in some of the world’s biggest arenas. In Jamaica, the legendary bassist found solace among the brethren at St James Parish Church in Montego Bay, where he was a long-standing member.
It was there that relatives and colleagues gathered for his thanksgiving service on October 31.
Jackson, known for playing on some of reggae’s most revered songs, also had a 50-year association with Toots and The Maytals. He died on September 23 at age 79 at Cornwall Regional Hospital in Montego Bay.
