Producer-musician Wycliffe "Steely" Johnson dead at 47

According to numerous media reports, Jamaican reggae producer Wycliffe "Steely" Johnson, has died in New York at age 47. Fellow producer-musician Cleveland "Clevie" Browne says Johnson died last week at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital on Long Island after having a heart attack.

Steely was diagnosed with kidney failure in New York last December. The same exam also revealed a blod clot on his brain.

During the 1980s and '90s, the Stevie & Clevie production duo created numerous hits and were regarded as one of the hottest production teams in Jamaica. Among the artists they collaborated with either collectively or individually include Bob Marley, Sean Paul, Super Cat, Caron Wheeler and No Doubt.
