R.I.P LEE
These two clips from the documentary film 'Dark Days'[2000] make up one lovely scene with these two great charactors; ? and Lee. This is the only scene in the film with Lee in it.
It is told that Director Marc Singer found Lee one day, over the course of his years of exploring, filming and living in the tunnels of New York's subways system.
He was far down one of the deepest tunnels. He was sitting cross legged and with his eyes closed, in the middle of a live rail track. When asked what he was doing he replied, "Waiting for the train." Marc talked him off the track and filmed this scene with him that evening.
The next day Lee was found dead. He had been hit by a train on the same piece of track where Marc had found him the day before.

90's UK ragga Don-Gar-Gan Cutty Ranks. A important figure in UK Mc history. His acapellas are often used in old school jungle tunes and his original ragga tunes included in sets by contempory DJS in the current London dance and bass music scenes.
