Guyanese singer Johnny Braff was yesterday remembered as a “celebrity” performer, who lived life as a free spirit and brought joy to fans both at home and abroad for decades.

The singer, whose birth name was John Randolph Massiah Critchlow-Brathwaite, died at the age of 82 on August 29th at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

The life of Braff, known for songs such as “It Burns Inside” and “I Don’t Care,” was celebrated at a homegoing service held at the Franklin Talbot Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church in Festival City, North Ruimveldt.
