History
Dennis Brown had one of the warmest voices in Jamaican music, a soft tenor that could carry a love song and a roots protest with the same ease. He started as a child singer and was cutting records before his teens were over, which is why his catalogue is so large and so varied: rocksteady covers, deep roots sides, lovers rock, and later productions from the dancehall era. Money in My Pocket was the record that broke him outside Jamaica, but the ones singers still study are Here I Come and Revolution, where the phrasing sits slightly behind the beat and the vocal stays gentle even when the lyric turns political. Bob Marley named him as his own favourite singer, and Jamaica called him the Crown Prince of Reggae, a title nobody has really claimed since. A listener recognises him by that unforced sweetness, by the light tremble he puts on a held note, and by the way he ornaments the ends of lines without ever pushing the volume up.
