Just got my old reggae 12inchers out which I haven't played for over 20 years since my record player bust😂. Forgot what a fantastic record this was. Dennis Brown's (RIP) wonderful velvet voice and Aswad at the controls. Classic

[@countrobbie3712]

One of the best roots tunes of all times! This song will never die, it will carry on to the end of time. Blessings!

[@BrinsleyForde]

Aswad released Love Fire on their CBS album, New Chapter in 1981, recorded in the CBS studios in London. Dennis Brown first heard the riddim during a sound check, Dennis had just returned from his vist to Ethiopia which inspired the song. Aswad along with Michael Campbell took Dennis to Basing Street Studio to record for Simba Productions in 1983 ❤

[@chukonwea5956]

The massively great Dennis Brown. No tribute paid to this late Hyper-Legend can adequately capture his unquantifiable contribution to roots reggae or do justice to his burgeoning talent. Even Bob Marley said this man was his favorite roots reggae artist. He was that huge. So huge in fact, that the day he was buried, Jamaica stood still....... May Jesus Christ grant him admission into the land promised to those who invest their talent to make the world a better place. Continue to rest in peace the massively great Dennis Brown. Amen.
