Barrington Ainsworth Levy (born 30 April 1964)[1] is a reggae and dancehall artist from Jamaica. Levy was born in Clarendon, Jamaica. He formed a band called the Mighty Multitude, with his cousin, Everton Dacres; the pair released "My Black Girl" in 1977.[1][2] Levy established his solo career the next year with "A Long Time Since We Don't Have No Love";[2] though the single was a failure, the fourteen-year-old was a popular performer at Jamaican dancehalls.[3] In 1979, Levy met Henry "Junjo" Lawes and Hyman Wright, both record producers, and recorded several singles with the Roots Radics, including "Al Yah We Deh", "Looking My Love", "Englishman", "Skylarking", "Wedding Ring Aside" and "Collie Weed", all of which became hits and established Levy's career. Levy's next few singles were similarly successful, including "Shine Eye Girl", "Wicked Intention", "Jumpy Girl", "Disco Music", "Reggae Music", "Never Tear My Love Apart", "Jah", "You Made Me So Happy" and "When You're Young and in Love". Levy then recorded several duets with Toyan, Jah Thomas and Trinity, and appeared at Reggae Sunsplash in 1980 and 1981.[2] Although albums were not terribly important in Jamaica at the time, Levy released four albums before 1980: Shaolin Temple, Bounty Hunter, Shine Eye Gal (United Kingdom) and Englishman, a critically acclaimed record. His success led to many earlier studio and sound system performances being reissued without his consent, releases he described as "joke business".[2][4] By the time his 1980 album Robin Hood was released, Levy was one of the biggest Jamaican stars, and saw his international fame growing as well, especially in the United Kingdom. Taking a break from albums, Levy then released a series of hit singles, including "Mary Long Tongue", "In the Dark", "Too Poor", "I Have a Problem", "Even Tide Fire a Disaster", "I'm Not in Love", "You Have It", "Love of Jah", "Under Mi Sensi", "Tomorrow Is Another Day", "Robberman", "Black Roses", "My Woman" and "Money Move".[2] He began working with Paul "Jah Screw" Love and toured the UK in 1984, where he enjoyed a big hit on the reggae charts with "Under Mi Sensi", which was followed by the crossover hit "Here I Come", which reached number 41 in the UK Singles Chart in 1985.[5] He returned to LPs with Lifestyle and Money Move, followed by a British hit album called Here I Come; Levy received the Best Vocalist prize at the British Reggae Awards in 1984.[2] The late 1980s saw Levy, now in his twenties, slow down his recorded output, though he continued to perform and record regularly, and played at Sunsplash every year from 1987 to 1995.[2] His fortunes were revived by two cover versions of Bob Andy songs - "My Time" and "Too Experienced", both produced by Jah Screw,[1] and he was signed by Island Records in 1991 for the Divine album.[4] In 1991 he returned to the UK chart with "Tribal Base", a single by Rebel MC featuring Levy and Tenor Fly, which reached number 20.[2] In 1993, Levy tried to break in the United States with the Barrington album, produced by Lee Jaffe, Andre Betts and Sly & Robbie, but it failed to give him the breakthrough he wanted and his relationship with MCA Records was short-lived.[2] In the 1990s, Levy continued to release periodic hits in Jamaica, and more rarely in the UK, .Pure Love, Lovers Rock Reggae Mix, Best Reggae Lovers, Reggae Roots Songs, Mix Roots Reggae, Ultimate Old School Reggae Mix, Roots Music,Reggae roots culture,best old school culture reggae mix, roots rock reggae,reggae music,reggae mix, reggae instrumental,reggae mix 2014, dancehall 2014,dancehall mix..reggaeton,dancehall queen,Jamaican comedy, Jamaican movie,Jamaican music, JAMAICAN DANCE,JAMAICAN DANCE MOVES,JAMAICAN PLAY,jamaica ati weekend,sunfest2013 2014,rebel salute concert full 2014 2015,JUSTICE DA GREAT,JUSTICE SOUND,stone love anniversary 2014 2015,stone love mix,stone love sound,stone love souls mix,king addies, king addies vs bass odyssey,king addies 2014 2015,king addies vs lp,king addies vs body guard, king addies dub plate,tony matterhorn2014,bass adyssey 2013 2014,bass odyssey squingy,sting 2013 2014,sting jamaica live full 2013 2014,super cat interview,super cat vs ninja man, killamajaro sound clash,killamanjaro sound system,killamajaro vs bass odyssey,killamanjaro vs king addies, killamanjaro dubplate, killamanjaro remembers garnett silk,david rodigan vs mighty crown, david rodigan bbc,uk cup clash,world clash, mighty crown vs bass odyssey, mighty crown world clash,mighty crown mix,mighty crown vs supersonic,mighty crown vs tony matterhorn,mighty crown 2014,innocent sound,poison dart sound,..
