Ernie Smith, whose easy-listening songs ruled Jamaican airwaves during the 1970s, has died. The singer-songwriter, who was ill for some time, passed away at the University of Miami Hospital on Thursday, according to his manager, Joanna Marie Robinson.

Smith’s wife, Claudette Bailey Smith, told Observer Online that he died shortly after suffering “cardiac incidents”. Early this week, she disclosed that he underwent a “surgical procedure” on April 9, two days after being admitted to the hospital
