I remember hearing Dennis Brown for the first time round my mate's house, we were listening to his dad's vinyl, I'd never heard a voice like it at the time.

Dennis Brown was influential due to how dynamic he was...roots reggae fans and lovers rock fans gravitated to his music. Bob on the other hand was the music and on a planet of his own. On a mission to fight Babylon with music... Occasionally he showed us he could be dynamic and drop some music for the Sisthrens. But let's not get things mixed up... The King still reigns. Jah bless his soul.

Pat Kelly,Slim Smith,Toots Hibbert,Alton Ellis, and Delroy Wilson were Dennis Brown contemporaries who were great singers in their own right. Dennis, however, has a special place in Jamaican music history for his unique style that influenced many reggae artists. It's sad that we never got to see more of him and Bob Marley because they both passed at a young age. 😢🎶🇯🇲

Very good clip. Love the list. I would argue Bob was the most influential Reggae artist while Dennis was the most influential vocalist. So many people started their own bands because of Bob but as this list proves, so many fantastic vocal performers can be attributed to Dennis' incredible style. They are both kings in my opinion.

As an African born and raised in Africa, my feeling is that what sets Bob Marley apart from other Jamaican artists is that he was much less fascinated by America and American culture. He did not seek to imitate American singers. After reading and listening to several interviews with Mr. Marley, I noticed that every time journalists asked him which artists he preferred and who inspired him the most, he systematically and exclusively cited Jamaican artists (Joe Higgs, Denis Brown, Desmond Dekker, Burning Spear, ...). Journalists had to insist that he cite American artists, generally always the same ones: James Brown, Stevie Wonder and of course Curtis Mayfield. To the same question, Jimmy Cliff, Toots Hibbert, Bunny Wailer, Earl Wire Lindo or Max Romeo only cited American artists (Bob Dylan, Elvis, Sinatra, Otis, Sam Cook,..), Peter Tosh even often cited the Comodores. In doing so, they promoted American artists who did not need it, instead of drawing the world's attention to other Jamaican artists. When I listen to Toots, Bunny Wailer, Denis Brown, Jimmy Cliff or Alton Ellis, I hear American R&B singers. When I listen to Bob Marley, I hear... Bob Marley. Mr. Marley had an identity and cultural pride that most Jamaican artists do not have. And this fascination of Jamaican artists for America continues today. Jamaican artists are more obsessed with getting a Grammy Award than American artists themselves.

Yes...Dennis Brown is one of a trio of MOST INFLUENTIAL REGGAE ARTIST In history along with Bob Marley of course...But no doubt the great foundation DJ U-Roy has to be included here for the sheer number of deejays and other aspirants he influenced: Al capone, I-Roy, Big Youth, Scotty, Prince Jazzbo, Winston Scotland, and later Tappa Zukie, U Brown, Dillinger, Trinity....Gosh!!! Too many to name here..... And way beyond the 70s and 80s

Dennis Brown may have been a very influential voice within the reggae universe, but Bob Marley's impact went way much beyond that. Same goes for U-Roy, who can be seen as the originator of rap music. Musically, there's only one Jamaican artist who may have been even more influential, and that's Lee Scratch Perry! (Btw, it's not the vocal qualities that define one's influence: Dennis had a great singing voice indeed, but is only known by reggae fans; nor is it the unique sound and delivery style - as for that matter, the number 1 would be Prince Far I - but that does not yet make him 'influential')
