Dennis Emmanuel Brown, the 'Crown Prince of Reggae Music' as he's known, began his 
career as a child growing up in Kingston, Jamaica. That start began in the famed 
Kingston based Studio One studios with producer, Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd, in 1969 at 
the age of 12. Studio One was the hotbed of many artists careers including Bob Marley, 
Alton Ellis, Wailing Souls, and countless others since the early 60's. 'Coxsone' took this 
young man and made him a star with his first hit called "No Man Is An Island" that year 
with a singing style that was sweet and uniquely his own. In the early 70's he worked 
with a number of producers including Lloyd 'Matador' Daley, Clive Chin's Impact! label, 
and Herman Chin Loy's Aquarius label. The albums that came out in the early 70's were 
collections of his singles, and his voice began to mature as he became a young adult. 
Then he moved on to work with Winston 'Niney' Holness's Observer label where he 
recorded two classic albums for him. 'Just Dennis' and 'Wolves and Leopards' in 1972 
and 1975, and established Dennis on the international reggae scene on his way to 
becoming a superstar. Joe Gibbs was the next producer he worked with along with his 
partner Errol 'ET' Thompson, and they worked together from the mid-70's until 1982 
recording more that half a dozen albums for Joe Gibbs. It was during this time, that 
Dennis had hits like "Money In My Pocket", and due to that Brown received attention 
in the United States, and was signed to the major label, A&M Records, in 1983, and did 
two albums for them. At that same time he started his own labels, DEB Music and 
Yvonne's Special (named after his wife) and spent a bit of time living in London, 
England in addition. The 'digital' dancehall sound of reggae was hitting then too, but 
Brown continued recording lover's rock and culturally based songs with classic roots 
songs like "Here I Come," "Promised Land," and "Revolution" for Sly and Robbie's 
Taxi label. It was towards the late 80's that Brown moved into working with some of 
the dancehall regge producers as King Jammys and 'Gussie' Clark's Music Works studio. 
He recorded albums for them and in 1989, recorded a duet with Gregory Isaacs for 
Music Works called "Big All Around" that hit worldwide. Since then Dennis has worked 
with virtually every producer in reggae and has toured the world over many times. His 
legacy of music continues to grow, and this CD includes his work he did with the great 
Lloyd 'King Jammys' James at his humble Waterhouse area Kingston studio throughout 
the late 80's and here in the 90's. His voice and talent teamed up with 'Jammys and an 
array of the best musicians here shows his rightful place in reggae royalty.
