Barry Brown (c. 1962, Jamaica — 29 May 2004) was a Jamaican reggae singer, initially coming to prominence in the 1970s with his work with Bunny Lee, but remaining popular throughout his career.

Barry Brown was one of a number of singers to find success in the 1970s under record producer Bunny Lee. After forming a short-lived group called The Aliens, with Rod Taylor and Johnny Lee, Brown went solo.
Although his first release, Girl You're Always on My Mind, had little impact, his vocal style soon found popularity, with his first hit single coming with 1979's Step It Up Youthman, which led to an album of the same name on Paradise Records. One of the most successful artists of the early dancehall era, Brown worked with some of Jamaica's top producers of the time, including Linval Thompson, Winston "Niney The Observer" Holness, Sugar Minott and Coxsone Dodd, as well as releasing self-produced material. He recorded for Studio One in 1983, including Far East.

After releasing eleven albums between 1979 and 1984, Brown's releases became more sporadic, although his work continued to feature prominently on sound systems such as those of Jah Shaka, who regularly played out discomix vocal and dub excursions like Scientist and King Tubby's engineered radical polemics, Separation, and Step it up Youthman, the spiritually conscious Enter the Kingdom of Zion ( also known as No Wicked Shall Enter ) and his recut of Linval Thompson 's Cool Down Your Temper, which Barry Brown retitled Cool Pon Your Corner and Natty Roots Man, of which the vocal was partially based on Johnny Clarke's Enter into His Gates With Praise , the dub being a recut of jazz standard Take Five, with Tommy McCook on flute .

In 1980, Barry Brown also released the Rockers discomix Natty Dread Nah Run on the Strong Like Samson label with Anthony Johnson (musician) of Mystic I, a musical disc which was in demand amongst the Roots reggae sound system fraternity at the time. In the same year, he teamed up with Jah Thomas to release the Scientist engineered Channel One Studios Discomix, Peace and Love on Keith Stone's Daddy Kool record label out of Dean Street.

In the 1990s, Brown's health deteriorated, suffering from asthma and substance abuse problems, and he died in May 2004 in Sone Waves recording studio in Kingston, Jamaica, after falling and hitting his head.

Hopeton Overton Brown better known as Scientist (born 18 April 1960 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a recording engineer and producer who rose to fame in the 1980s mixing dub music. A protégé of King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock), Scientist's contemporaries include several figures who, working at King Tubby's studio, had helped pioneer the genre in the 1970s: Ruddock, Bunny Lee, Philip Smart, Pat Kelly and Prince Jammy.

Scientist was introduced to electronics by his father, who worked as a television and radio repair technician. He began building his own amplifiers and would buy transformers from Tubby's Dromilly Road studio. While at the studio, Scientist asked Tubby to give him a chance at mixing. He was taken on at Tubby's as an assistant, performing tasks such as winding transformer coils, and began working as a mixer in the mid-1970s, initially creating dubs of reworked Studio One tracks for Don Mais's Roots Tradition label, given his chance when Prince Jammy cut short a mixing session for Mais because he was too tired to continue. His name originated from a comment by Bunny Lee to King Tubby, with regard to his technical proficiency, "Damn, this little boy must be a scientist."

The Roots Radics Band is a Jamaican reggae group / backing band, formed in 1978 by bass player Errol "Flabba" Holt, guitarist Eric "Bingy Bunny" Lamont and drummer Lincoln "Style" Scott. The nucleus of Holt and Lamont had previously worked together in the group The Morwells and in the backing band for Prince Far I called The Arabs. They were joined by many musicians, including guitarist Noel "Sowell" Bailey, Dwight Pinkney and Steve Golding, keyboard player Wycliffe "Steelie" Johnson, Pianist Gladstone "Gladdy" Anderson and saxophonist Headley Bennett. As a combined force the Roots Radics became a well-respected studio and stage band, which dominated the sound in the first half of the 1980s. In addition to their own catalogue, they have worked with artists such as Bunny Wailer, John Holt, Junior Reid, Yellowman, Gregory Isaacs, Michael Prophet, Eek-A-Mouse, Israel Vibration and Johnny Clarke and many others.
