                 Dennis Brown

 As 'Lips For Wine' was being recorded by what would become known as 'One of Reggae's greatest voices aside from Bob Marley,' its more than likely all present had some idea of the legacy Dennis Brown would leave behind. Sadly, this would not be 'The Crown Prince of Reggae's first release. Debut release duties would be claimed by Coxsone Dodd's legendary Studio One, with 'No Man Is An Island.'

Born February 1, 1957 Dennis Emanuel Brown's singing career began at age 9, eventually becoming a member of Byron Lee's Dragonaire's at age 12. His solo recordings would come a year later in 1970. His entire career would span 4 decades, recording 78 albums, and helping pioneer the 'Lover's Rock' style of Reggae. Dennis' voice would gain him the status of being Bob Marley's favorite singer. In turn, Marley titled Brown, 'The Crown Prince of Reggae.'

In addition to having recorded with legendary producers like Derrick Harriot and Coxsone Dodd, Dennis Brown also worked for such Reggae luminaries as Winston (Niney) Holness, Joe Gibbs, Herman Chin-Loy, Sidney Crooks, Prince Buster, Randy's, Phil Pratt, GG Ranglin, Big Youth, Junior Reid, Black Scorpio, Michael Bennett, Clive Hunt and Willie Lindo, Errol Thompson, Sly & Robbie, Gussie Clarke, Tad Dawkins, Trevor Bow, Bunny Lee and Delroy Wright.

July 1, 1999 Dennis Emanuel Brown died of pnuemonia. He is survived by a wife and 13 children.
