George Nooks pays tribute to Dennis Brown
With the assistance of noted producer Tad A Dawkins, George Nooks has assembled an album which pays tribute to the late Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown. The album, titled George Nooks Sings Dennis Brown: The Voice Lives On, is due for release next month.
Nooks said that the album was something that he had wanted to put out for some time now. His friendship with Brown dates back to the mid-1970s when they both recorded for producer Joe Gibbs. "I met Dennis way back. We were rehearsing with Chinna Smith up at New Haven, and we just linked up from there," Nooks told the Observer. "I was always inspired by his talent and I used to sing like him. We developed a great friendship which lasted until he died. He was also the first artiste to produce me."
