has left us with a vast repertoire of songs which will continue to satisfy the hearts and minds of us all for generations to come." Dennis Brown's brother Leroy Clarke spoke about his brother as follows; "I just give Jah thanks and praise for Dennis’ life and what he has contributed to the world through the root of music, regardless of the rumors out there about him, he has done a lot.

Legacy Dennis Brown was an inspiration and influence for many reggae singers from the late 1970s through to the 2000s, including Barrington Levy, Junior Reid, Frankie Paul, Luciano, Bushman, and Richie Stephens.
