We lost a giant. Today, Reggae Hour honors the life and legacy of Stephen "Cat" Coore—the founding father of Third World and a true cultural ambassador. We explore why his humility was just as powerful as his guitar.
Body:
🕯️ A CALL TO HONOR
Before we dive into the history, we will ask you to join us in a shared moment of silence to send power to his journey home.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Cat Coore wasn't just a musician; he was an architect of the sound that carried Jamaica to the globe. From "96 Degrees in the Shade" to his cello performances, he bridged the gap between Roots and the World.
Join Mr. E and Zionya as we reason on:
Why Cat Coore is considered a "Prophet" of the music.
The impact of Third World on the Diaspora.
How to live with intention and leave the door open for the next generation.

💡 Zionya’s Final Polish Tips:
The Thumbnail: Use a classic, soulful photo of Cat Coore (perhaps with his Cello or Guitar). Text should just say "REST IN POWER" or "THE QUIET PROPHET."
