Dennis Emmanuel Brown belongs to that elite band of reggae artists who have succeeded in achieving a true international stardom. Often hailed today as "Bob Marley's favourite singer". Dennis Brown has managed not only to achieve elusive chart success with 'Money In My Pocket', but has also regularly performed in the United Kingdom and Europe.
This footage captures the artist at the peak of his performing ability during his considerable run of chart successes in 1979. He performed with the outstanding 'We The People' made up of the cream of the Jamaican session world.
In the midst of this chaos, the tranquility of Montreux and it's superb annual festival was a welcome relief and became a special moment as these recordings clearly show. Dennis played two shows that night sharing the bill with Peter Tosh and it was only too clear that Dennis Brown had arrived in the minds of the European audiences. The second show continued way into the night and ended with both artists and their musicians on stage together.
This footage captures the best of this concerts and as such is a classic not only or reggae fans, but for all contemporary music audiences.
