Liner Note Author: Elena Oumano. First coming to prominence as a teen phenomenon with the Joe Gibbs-produced "Money in My Pocket" in 1972, Dennis Brown had a long career as one of Jamaica's best-loved singers until his untimely death in 1999. He encompassed various musical trends, including lover's rock, DJ, and dancehall, a good example of the latter here being the synth-heavy "Victory Is Mine." While it's impossible to summarize a recording career that covers over 100 albums with a single compilation, this edition of Trojan's THIS IS CRUCIAL REGGAE series covers some of the essentials. These include Brown's successfully updated 1978 hit remake of "Money in My Pocket," and several sides cut in his fruitful mid-'70s partnership with Winston "Niney The Observer" Holness. The rhythm of "Westbound Train" will be familiar to Lee Perry aficionados, while the rootsy "I Am the Conqueror" showcases Brown's talent for combining a variety of styles in one package. His serene vocal over the pop-reggae rhythm and infectious Syndrum pattern of 1980's "Sitting and Watching" remains a lover's rock delight.
