Barrington
Levy

With a slew of albums under
his belt, and in attaining
international popularity in
the 1980s, Barrington Levy has
become a cult figure in what
is now known termed as reggae
and dancehall music.

With albums not necessarily
that important in Jamaica, the
country he hails from, his
performances at an early stage
in his career started in the
Jamaican dancehalls. But that
did not deter him as he
released four albums before he
truly went international such
as Shaolin Temple, Shine Eye
Gal, Bounty Hunter and a
masterpiece known as
Englishman, and by the time
his 1980 album (known as Robin
Hood was released), Barrington
Levy had become one of the
biggest stars in reggae and
dancehall music at the time,
particularly in the United
Kingdom.

The 1990s saw a slew of
singles being released, and an
unsuccessful attempt to
penetrate the US market with
his album known as
‘Barrington’ apart,
although he continued to
record several hits which were
well accepted by music lovers
in his own country, Jamaica.

The release of the album
‘Living Dangerously’,
which found him collaborating
with Bounty Killer (one of
Jamaica’s most popular DJs)
and Snoop Dogg, and which
earned him the favorable
attention in the United States
as well.

Some of the successful singles
that Barrington Levy released
during his career are
“Reggae Music”, “Never
tear my love apart”,
“Jah”, “You made me so
happy”, “Disco Music”
and so on and so forth.

In the last few years, a
single of his known as ‘Here
I Come’ has found him hit
the charts in the UK along
with a couple of
collaborations with artists
such as Shyne, Jadakiss and so
on and so forth.
