Born in 1957 in Kingston, Dennis Emmanuel Brown loved music from childhood.
The young fan who then favored American popular singers, especially the smooth
tones of Nat King Cole, could not have known that one day he would own an
impressive list of reggae credentials. He began performing as a child, at one point
promoted by bandleader Byron Lee as “The Boy Wonder”. In 1969, aged twelve,
he began his recording career as a youth singer at Studio One. He had hits with his
first singles, ‘Lips Of Wine’ and ‘No Man Is An Island’. Many, many more would
follow, and Brown would grow to become one of reggae’s biggest stars, gaining
the moniker “The Crown Prince of Reggae”. He was prolific, releasing over 60
albums and well over 200 singles, with numerous hits throughout each phase of
his career. He was one of the most beloved singers ever in Jamaica, his popularity
rivaling Bob Marley. Speaking of Marley, he and Brown were good friends, and he
consistently named Brown as his favorite singer. That wasn’t nepotism, because
Dennis Brown was gifted with a fabulous singing voice.
