I think you're wrong about the level of name recognition for Benjamin Zephania.

Although I agree most people won't know much or anything about him - a black poet, musician and activist that has never appeared on Strictly - many do. I first noticed his name in the early 80s when 'Rasta' was released.

I hope and expect that Villa will do something to mark his passing at the game against Arsenal tomorrow.
