Tributes are flowing for Jamaican deejay Stitchie, remembered for a career that connected two worlds of Jamaican music. The entertainer, born Cleveland Laing, rose to prominence in dancehall before a widely followed conversion to Christianity that led him to become one of the leading voices in gospel reggae. Observers in Jamaica are reflecting on how his work bridged the secular and spiritual sides of the island's musical tradition.
Why now: Readers in Jamaica and the diaspora are marking the death or passing of a beloved entertainer whose career spanned dancehall and gospel.
