Today would have been the birthday of Reggae Legend Dennis Brown. He was born on this day in 1957 in Kingston, Jamaica. He died on 1st July 1999 after a period of illness no doubt relating to his addiction to crack.
The Crown Prince of Reggae recorded more than 75 albums and a few of them I'll provide links to at the end of this.
His biggest hit for which he is known worldwide was 'Money in my Pocket', originally released in 1977.
