Dennis Brown has to be considered one of the most prolific and popular reggae
artists ever. He was born in 1956 and started recording for producer Coxsone Dodd,
while still in his childhood. In the 70s and early 80s he established himself as a
major force in reggae music with numerous roots and lovers cuts for several leading
producers. In the nineties he remained a name always worth watching
out for. He passed away on July 1st, 1999. A whole generation of Jamaican’s and
reggae fans literally grew up with his
music. A devout Rastafarian and a member of the Twelve Tribes of Israel
Organization, Dennis Brown was a musical genius and he will
be dearly missed. No doubt Dennis Brown (also known as the Crown Prince of Reggae Music) was one of Jamaica's sweet-voiced singers, who has never limited himself to one style. Whether it is lovers rock, roots & culture or dancehall music, he truly can handle it all and the album "Let Me Be The One" proves it once again. This album was Dennis Brown's last work before his untimely passing and contains 14 brand new tracks, including singles like Keep Your Love A Coming, Never My Love, and the title track Let Me Be The One. Do not expect any innovative or shocking deliveries here, but this is Dennis Brown at his best : singing from the heart over some fine riddims. Producer Don C. Hewitt almost succeeded in producing the ultimate Dennis Brown crossover album !
