00:00As a matter of fact, we have to rush her to the hospital again today.
00:04Her pressure keeps escalating since this happens, so we are hoping that the doctors are able to keep her calm
00:09and keep her stable, you know, so that she doesn't suffer another stroke.
00:16Sister of OSC-B, Astrid Benjamin, as she spoke with TV6 News before Sunday's benefit concert, honoring her brother.
00:25Ms. Benjamin made a plea to Tobogonians to take care of their health.
00:31I want Tobogonians to start partnering with their doctors, taking care of themselves, knowing their numbers.
00:40You know, it's not just about, oh, I have sugar. You need to know your number.
00:43You need to know what your blood pressure is. You need to know what your cholesterol is.
00:48You know, we need to really, really pay attention to our bodies and pay attention to the way we feel.
00:54If you don't feel right, you're probably not right.
00:57According to the Division of Tourism, OSC-B was more than an accomplished entertainer.
01:03He was a proud Tobogonian, whose remarkable career reflected the creativity, resilience, and cultural richness of our island.
01:11From his early beginnings in the Signal Hill Alumni Choir, to his years as lead vocalist,
01:18with the legendary Byron Lee and the Dragonairs.
01:21My fondest memory of him is when he was selected to go to youth camp.
01:30He said to me, sis, mommy didn't want me to go to Trinidad, and I thought I'd find a way
01:35to go.
01:35You know, that was his way of getting to Trinidad and getting into his music.
01:40Main organizer of the event, Angela Cooper, told the TV6 News it was a bittersweet day.
01:47As Trinidad didn't mention, he just dropped his, is it the first boss spell, right?
01:52It's the first boss spell, yeah.
01:53And the title of it is Hold On.
01:57And how profound could that be?
