It is without a doubt that Ghana has lost an asset who has contributed immensely to the music industry.
While alive, Crentsil opened a 16-track recording studio in 1990. “Devil†is among his best-known songs.Â
He simultaneously worked as an electrician and played with the Strollers Band owned by one Kwesi Donkor.
