Its the 1st of February today and it would have been Dennis Brown's birthday. Thinking of you on this day Dennis...you'll always be in my heart. The Crown Prince of Reggae forever! XXX
Thank you BrowningBBW for posting this!! if krazeerrool calls himself as Dennis Brown fanatic, then i must be Dennis Brown CRAZY. Oh yes and to me he is the king of reggae!! His sweet golden beautiful soft mellow voice and music will live for ever as long as this world keeps rolling!! My loved DENNIS BROWN RIP!! so sad...
Browning, let me first declare myself. I'm not a Dennis Brown Fan, But a Dennis Brown FANATIC. Who has in his archive thirty five (35) DBrown albums and hundreds of singles. 'Someone Special' from the Spellbound LP is one of my favorite. And hey I Thought I was the only one who played it. Love That.
most artists names are fictitious... well not with 'DB or Bob ... pity you dropped Emmaunuel... it actually means 'God with us' peace... go figure... real godly stuff here
as dennis used to say be greatfull for the blessing that your getting,peace and love to all,never forget that love over comes hate,although hate will some times try to corrupt love,stick to what you feel is right,every man will be paid according to his works,blessings to all.
greetings from rhoden hall saint ann jamaica,lovers rock legend dennis brown is the master of sweet sticky catchy lovers rock,blessings to all,peace and love.
when it come to reggae raving....in the 1970s...early 80s...u had to play d brown...gregory isaacs...sugar minott....freddie mcgregor....dem was the boom in dat golden era...for us...
In years to come and years gone by, the prince has been elevated to the messiah of reggae/lovers and conscious music, Dennis Emannuel Brown will live on to eternity. Ps, this legaccy is a must to pass on to next generation and beyond. Otep
i luv all reggae and i am least likely person u wud think wud like it ...it gives me a release from the mundane life that i have ,, please carry on playing it ,,,
I love D Brown. He is definitely a legend. I can't count the amount music that man put out in his short time. And he went back and forth between Roots and Lovers. If anyone has a D Brown track called "Shirley," please post it. But Marley was one of the greatest artists ever. I was a Marley fan from age 6. I think his kids are mediocre though.
I refuse to get into who was the best vocalist debate but back in the day roots artist would only get commercial exposure for their love songs rather than roots and truth & rights material but I just love REGGAE music roots or lovers cause reggae has a song to suit every mood na true? So forget who's best just enjoy de music man, peace
that why i feel reggae is dead now!....man like d brown...gregory isaacs....sugar minott...freddie mcgregor....made classicial reggae...with the best musicians in reggaes history....look at the crap they make now!....even the old uk lovers rock is miles better...people so artificial now!
But that doesn't mean reggae is dead :P First of all, all that music lives forever, second of all, there are nuff good roots artists in the scene today!!!!
If you were a teen in the late 70's/80's, then D.Brown, Sugar Minott, Gregory Isaacs, meant more to us than Bob. I don't remember any sound system in London regularly playing Bob's music. Sometimes in Blues dance people would play it, but the youth wanted steppers/rockers or lovers, and the beat in a lot of BMW's music didn't have the real rub-a-dub feeling anymore. Don't get me wrong, it is still good music. It just was not that popular come party time. D.Brown was for all and any occasion
It is the truth of what I lived. The Wailers' earlier music was sound system music, but even back then D.Brwon was singing hits. Also, anyone that really knows reggae music, knows that"Wolves and Leapards" is every bit as revolutionary as anything BMW put out.
Which is right! Everything you say I agree with! People however tend to tiptoe round the whole BM artist, like you cyan seh him was not the greatest, which in my opinion he wasn't... what about greats like Dennis, Larry Marshall, all the artists out of lee scratch perry studios. I'll say it, Bob marley jus got lucky with PR and the fact that he had the type of face acceptable to babylon... I say Peter Tosh and the wailers, a dat mi seh!! (watch the red marks now...lol!) Big up!
sorry but dennis was a better singer than bob. even bob called him his favorite singer. dennis voice was superior to bob which wasnt near as sweet as dennis. too bad drugs have silenced many a voice. so sad..had he not been on crack he jus maybe still here..i am and i am one yr older..however never did crack and was not into cocaine. or herion or any hard drugs or alcohol..reckon thats why i am still here healthy and strong. weed is ok. crack is not.
makes my heart cry because you cant help but ask Jah why he would bless some one with such talent..bless the world with one of his angels..then take them back..well i guess so that his voice can be recorded to live on long after his short stay on earth. that was Jah's plan. to send dennis down to record..then scoop him back up to he heavens from whence he came..Jah always knows what he is doing thanks Jah for leaving Dennis' voice on Tape and image on YouTube!
Don't get me wrong, there are some of his tunes that I like, but I think there are many others that are more talented but were not as visually acceptable to reach the areas that he had access to.
It became Bob Marley and The Wailers, when I don't think he was the most talented, but could sell records.
i agree Bob was good and some amazing tunes but was other stuff like dennis brown, bim sherman, mighty diamonds, barry brown and nicky mannasseh radio show that turned me onto proper roots/dub.
Bob was Ok in his own right and definately was a legend intoducing reggae to the masses. Few people I know ever heard of Dennis. which is sad. But if I say Bob marley. most everyone I know have heard the name. But when it came to Writing and gut vocals..dennis Rose over Bob. and sounded better than some African americans on their own songs. that he covered.
sobbed my heart out when Bob died same with DEB. I skanked 2 every tune when I was boy way back then (London 1970+) 50 years old now though but still a young bwoy gotta love the wat it should be like the great P lincoln says !!! respect
Tuneeeeeeeeeeeeee Browning, I remember my 1st boyfriend (middle 80's) and he bought me this song. Den him turn teef so me haffi leave him, lol lol lol
