“Here I come, with love and not hatred,” sang Dennis Emmanuel Brown on his 1977 classic “Here I Come,” a.k.a. “Love & Hate,” one of the songs that earned him the title the Crown Prince of Reggae. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow I,” Dennis went on, “all the days of I life.”
His musical mantra rings truer than ever in these crazy times and especially during Reggae Month, the annual celebration that coincides with a pair of royal birthdays during the first week of February. The Crown Prince’s earthstrong begins the month Dennis was born Feb. 1, 1957 followed five days later by the King of Reggae himself, Robert Nesta Marley, born Feb. 6, 1945.
