Born in 1962 in Kingston, Jamaica (Passed May 2004 in Kingston), Barry Brown came of age during reggae’s golden era. Drawn into the music through Kingston’s sound system culture, he cut his first single, “Girl You’re Always on My Mind,” in 1977 for Sonic Sounds. His big break came with Bunny “Striker” Lee, releasing “Step It Up Youthman” in 1979, a hit that became the title of his debut album on Paradise Records. Over the next few years, he voiced sessions for nearly every major Kingston producer, moving between roots reggae and the emerging rub-a-dub dancehall sound.

With an estimated 200,000 recordings over their career, it’d be an impossible task to encapsulate the decades-long career of Sly & Robbie and the impact they had not only on reggae but on music overall. Their drum & bass lines transformed, revolutionized, and influenced fans and musicians across the globe. Sly Dunbar (drummer) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass) — affectionately known as The Riddim Twins — are widely recognized as the most influential rhythm section and production duo in Jamaican music history. Their sound has powered countless hits from the golden age of roots reggae through to digital dancehall and international pop.

From Ice-Cream Parlour to Record Label In the early 1960s, the Kong family ran Beverley’s Restaurant, Ice-Cream Parlour & Record Shop at 135A Orange Street, Kingston—a hub in Jamaica’s emerging music scene.
