Friends and fans are mourning the death of Cape Breton composer Leon Dubinsky, who wrote the island’s unofficial anthem, “Rise Again.”
The song was first recorded for “The Rise and Follies of Cape Breton Island,” back in the 1980s, and then made famous by The Rankin Family, with the group’s late singer Raylene Rankin making it her own.
Comedian Bette MacDonald worked with Dubinsky many times over the years, including for “The Cape Breton Summertime Revue.” Singer-songwriter Jordan Musycsyn teamed up with Dubinsky at a Celtic Colours songwriters camp a few years ago."I didn't have to think about it. I said, ‘I'd love to do it with Leon Dubinsky, if he was up for it,’” he says.
