THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
952-Dennis Brown-Money In My Pocket.
1979-Number 14 single.
Best Bit- At 3.59. I am the very proud owner of this song on beautiful mint condition 12 inch vinyl. It probably isn’t worth anything, and besides I don’t even own a record player to play it on, but it’s lovely to look at.
Dennis Brown was born on February 1st, 1957, in Kingston, Jamaica, he died on the 1st July, 1999, also in Kingston, Jamaica. He was a prolific recording artist, releasing his first single at the age of 11, and recording more than 75 Albums in his lifetime. He was one of the leading protagonists in the genre of ‘Lovers Rock,’ a style of Reggae music noted for it’s romantic sound, and content. He is remembered as one of the most influential figures in Reggae music, Bob Marley cited Brown as his favourite singer, calling him ‘The Crown Prince of Reggae.’
‘Money in my Pocket’ was originally recorded in 1972, and was co-written by Brown, and the legendary Reggae producer Joe Gibbs (1942-2008.) In 1978 the specialist Reggae label ‘Lightning Records’ released a new version of the song, with the original ‘Dub’ version being replaced by the ‘Toasting’ of Prince Mohammed.
