The Prince of Reggae Dennis Brown
Dennis Emmanuel Brown known as Dennis Brown was born February 1, 1957 and laid to rest on July 1, 1999. He was a Jamaican reggae singer born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. During his prolific career, which began in the late 1960s when he was aged eleven, he recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the major stars of lovers rock, a sub-genre of reggae. Bob Marley cited Brown as his favourite singer, dubbing him "The Crown Prince of Reggae", and Brown would prove hugely influential on future generations of reggae singers.
Many people quoted this:
"If they say that Bob Marley is the king of reggae music, then Dennis Brown is the crown prince."
Dennis Brown is truly a great reggae artist, he brings all his soul and energy into his music, and for that we listen to the masterpiece he creates in each song his sings.
In the playlist I have provided you guys with three of my favorite songs from Dennis Brown. The first one is a live performance from Dennis Brown "Revolution". The second song is "Rub a dub Style" and the last one is another version of "Rub a dub Style". Enjoy the Irie sounds and let the music drift you away.

The Legendary Bob Marley
Out of all the posts I have put up so far, this post is my favorite one. Bob Marley is one of my favorite artist of all time, his words really heal the healing of a persons heart.
Bob Marley was born as Nesta Robert Marley, he was born and raised in Jamaica, Saint Ann Parish. He was born on February 6, 1945 and rested on May 11, 1981. Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer/songwriter and a musician. He died from a tumor that was found in his foot and for religious reason he did not want to amputated it. The cancer then started to spread and went straight to his head. He had the cancer in him for about two years.
Bob Marley faced questions about his own racial identity throughout his life. He once reflected:
"I don't have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white."- Bob Marley
Bob Marley has always defended this often maligned herb. He equated condemnation of this natural herb with blasphemy.
How could a plant created by God be made illegal by humans? "You mean they can tell God that it's not legal?" he once asked a Canadian journalist. If growing cannabis is to be a crime then by man's laws God who made all plants was a criminal too. Bob was not surprized that people who smoke the weed were persecuted by "Babylon", the ruling system, reminding people: "Them crucify Christ, remember?"- Bob Marley
