His best known single was the cover version of Sting‘s “Englishman In New York“, re-titled as “Jamaican In New York” (1993). It reached #30 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1993.[1] Thesingle featured on the Sidewalk University album.

He is largely credited as being one of the original acts to cross hip-hop with reggae music, now known as reggae fusion, with songs such as “Try My Love” in 1992.[2]

by Podcasts, reggae • Tags: , , , , , , ,

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of May 4, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

To my mother Beverley, without you none of these mixes would be possible. To Jen, my wife and best friend, and Karin my sister, both huge parts of Highlanda’s success. To all the mothers in my family, extended family, and community. To the loving memory of those mothers who are no longer with us.

This is an extremely deep display of crucial selection containing many of my favorite songs, and some of the top rated one drop anthems of the ages. Every single song in the mix is a dedication to the mother, or deals with love, family values, and overcoming stuggle. The featured reggae vault classics range from the 1970s to the early 2000s.

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of April 20, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

Dennis Emmanuel Brown (February 1, 1957 – July 1, 1999) recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the pioneers of the lovers rock sub-genre of reggae. Bob Marley cited Brown as his favorite singer, and dubbed him “The Crown Prince of Reggae.” D. Brown also is my favorite singer of all time so in tribute I have compiled a mix consisting of 20 songs. The subject matter of the selected music here is varied and some tracks were commercially successful, whereas some are old dusty vault classics that give me goosebumps and I wanted to feature. This is only part 1, so fans of the Crown Prince please make sure to download this one and subscribe to the podcast for automatic updates.
