Chow Lin On remembered today

A number of artistes have come in from abroad for today's funeral of music industry legend Ellis Chow Lin On. Among them are David Rudder, Carl Jacobs, Ralph Macdonald and Roger George. Unable to make it was his lifelong friend, Jamaican bandleader Byron Lee, with whom he linked up for the inception of Jamaica Carnival. Lee is ailing and undergoing treatment in Miami.

One of the highlights of the service today is expected to be a performance of "Memories" by Shurwayne Winchester and Rudder, whom Chow Lin On managed.
