Midnite singer VaughnBenjamin honored as impactful force in reggae
Renowned for his prolific output and complex, spiritually instructive lyrics as lead singer with the Rastafarian roots reggae band Midnite and later Akae Beka,at Tradition Medical Center, Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Vaughn has released an estimated 1,500 songs; his spellbinding words, steeped in Biblical verse, historical injustices, African liberation and the teachings of Ethiopian emperor and Rastafarian Divinity, Haile Selassie I were intended to help build a more cognizant and compassionate society. He has left a profoundly influential, distinctive legacy.
Tippy recalls Vaughn’s tireless passion for his work.

He planted millions of seeds of ideas around the world that have inspired people to think about something they hadn’t considered.
