DENNIS BROWN IS the second most popular Jamaican singer behind Bob Marley.

His tunes cover everything from roots reggae to lovers' rock, and he recorded approximately 400 godzillion songs — all of them seemingly hits: If you've ever been in a club when a Dennis Brown track is dropped, the shrieks of "Big chune!" can be deafening.

Also like Marley, Brown died young, but he was insanely prolific during the 42 years he spent on Planet Earth. Below are seven free Dennis Brown selections from Amazon; click on the song title, which will open up a new window and you can download the track gratis from the Internet megastore.
