Heavy rain and an islandwide power outage could not darken the mood for ‘Celebration of Life’, an event saluting the legacy of singer-songwriter Glenroy Anthony “Ernie” Smith.

It took place on June 5 at Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew.

Just over 100 people attended, with family and fellow artistes paying tribute to Smith, who died on April 16 in Miami at age 80.
