In the late 1980's, Barrington Levy began
working with producer Jah Screw, and together they created some of
reggae's most memorable recordings...
There was the classic album of Barrington's
greatest hits dubbed Broader Than Broadway, which is one of
the best reggae collections ever created. This was released on the
pioneering hip-hop label Profile, which helped Barrington to become more
recognizable in the crossover market.
After a stunning performance on the 1993
Sunsplash, Barrington was signed to MCA Records, but quickly parted ways
with the label and began working with Jah Screw to make the Duets
album, where Levy teamed with all the hottest DJs from Beenie Man
to Lady Saw.
He came back larger than life with Bounti
Killer on the song "Living Dangerously" - undisputedly the
biggest reggae song of 1996, both in Jamaica and the United States, and
for months held the #1 spot on the dancehall charts worldwide.
Barrington was lifted to the top of the
charts, his career in full swing again, and continues to remain at the top
of playlists on every radio station in Jamaica, and dancehalls
throughout the world.
