Barry Brown - Steppin Up Dub Wise '2013/2003

Tracks list

Barry Brown (c.1962, Jamaica - May 28, 2004) was a Jamaican reggae singer,
initially coming to prominence in the 1970's with his work with Bunny Lee, but
remaining popular throughout his career. He died in a recording studio.

Barry Brown was one of a number of singers to find success in the 1970's under
producer Bunny Lee. Although his first release, 'Girl You're Always On My Mind',
had little impact, his vocal style soon found popularity, with his first hit
coming with 1979's 'Step It Up Youthman', which led to an album of the same name
on Third World records. One of the most successful artists of the early
dancehall era, Brown worked with some of Jamaica's top producers of the time,
including Linval Thompson, Winston "Niney The Observer" Holness, Sugar Minott
and Coxsone Dodd, as well as releasing self-produced material. After releasing
eleven albums between 1979 and 1984, Brown's releases became more sporadic,
although his work continued to feature prominently on sound systems such as
those of Jah Shaka.

In the 1990's, Brown's health deteriorated, suffering with asthma and substance
abuse problems, and he died in May 2004 in Sone Waves Recording Studio in
Kingston, Jamaica, after falling and hitting his head.
