On the First Day of Reggae Music Month and Black History Month, A Legend is Honored
“One of the top 50 voices of the 20th Century”- NPR
“Known for his gentle, beseeching voice — one of the best of his generation state — he mixed soulful love songs with universal pleas calling for peace and harmony.”
– New York Times
Today VP Records remembers and celebrates “The Crown Prince Of Reggae” Dennis Brown Birthday. His birthday also marks the first day of Reggae Month and Black History Month.
Brown, known as one of the most influential vocalists among reggae musicians was also famously noted to be Bob Marley’s favorite singer. He was a spokesman for the people of Jamaica and the diaspora and his message is as vital today as when these songs were first recorded. His voice and his music are still in the hearts of many.
In 2016, VP Records released “We Remember Dennis Brown” with covers by Marsha Ambrosius, Christopher Martin, Romain Virgo, Jah Cure and more. His iconic status and pivotal place in the history of reggae music is highlighted by the range of artists and power in the musical selections on the album. The project blends romantic love songs and ballads with roots and revolutionary songs made famous and (mostly) written by Brown. This title joins over ten previous releases celebrating Brown under the label and its imprints over the years.
