YoungWillz 21,054 Posted April 26 Interesting one this. Report of the death of Harold "Bobby" Davis of reggae group The Sensations aged 77: https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/2024/04/24/sensations-singer-bobby-davis-dies-77/ Wiki has him as Aaron "Bobby" Davis. Apparently they travelled to the UK to promote the hit Double Barrel by Dave Barker and Ansel Collins and Davis was one of those who remained and settled in the UK.
