MIDNITE REGGAE BAND CO-FOUNDER VAUGHN “AKAE BEKA” BENJAMIN HAS PASSED AWAY AT 50
[Entertainment News\Reggae]
Vaughn Benjamin has made over 55 albums—likely much more if all of his collaborative efforts are counted. A look at his discography online will attest to this. It is worthy of noting that the Midnight Raver music website lists the 2000 “Jubilees of Zion” as the best album of the new millennium and the 2014 “Beauty for Ashes” as the third best album of the new millennium. Since the reformation of the group as Akae Beka, the Midnight Raver website referred to the group as “the most revered, influential and prolific reggae act in two decades.”
