Biggs worked as an recording engineer and cameraman with the Jamaican Broadcasting Company, and also spent time as a member of the band the Astronauts, before becoming the lead singer for Byron Lee's Dragonaires.[1][3]
It was at Lee's Dynamic Sounds studio (where he also worked as a producer and engineer) that Biggs recorded his first Jamaican hit, a cover of The Osmonds' One Bad Apple.[1][3] He broke through to international success in 1976 with Work All Day, which had been recorded seven years earlier.[1][3] Biggs had six hit singles on the UK Singles Chart between 1976 and 1981, the most successful of these, Sideshow, reaching #3 in January 1977.[4] He recorded two songs with Bunny Lee; Sincerely and You're welcome which did well in reggae charts.[3] He topped the reggae chart in the UK with Wide Awake in a Dream and A Promise is a Comfort to a Fool.[3]
Many of Biggs' recordings were reggae cover versions of popular soul hits, including songs such as Stevie Wonder's - My Cherie Amour ,Sideshow and Three Ring Cicus by Blue Magic and others originally by The Chi-Lites, The Moonglows (Sincerely), and The Temptations (Just My Imagination).[5] Unlike many of his contemporaries, he avoided the political and Rasta themes then popular in Jamaica.[1]
Biggs continued to perform occasionally in the 2000s, notably at a service of thanksgiving for his former bandleader, Byron Lee, in 2008.[6]

(All the way down)
No sleep last night
Been dreaming of you
Please hold me tight
'Cause I can't help the way that I feel
I just can't help the way that I feel
Deep in the night
You took my heart
Now danger's in sight
'Cause I can't help the way that I feel
I just can't help the way that I feel
Do do dit dit dit dit dit dit do do do
Baby you make my love come down
You make my love come down
Make it come all the way down
Oh you make my love come down
Baby you make my love come down
You make my love come down
Can't do without your tender love
There's no way out
And I can't help the way that I feel
I just can't help the way that I feel
Your love has a force, got me under your spell
So take me, I'm yours
And I can't help the way the I feel
I just can't help the way that I feel
Shoo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, oh

The lyrics of "Love Come Down" by Barry Biggs are about the singer's infatuation with his lover. He starts with expressing how he could not sleep because he spent the night dreaming about his partner. He then says that his heart has been taken and that he feels like he is under his lover's spell. The chorus repeats the phrases "You make my love come down" and "Make it come all the way down," which are metaphors for an intense level of emotional and physical connection.
The second verse reiterates that the singer cannot do without his lover's love and that he feels like he is in danger because of how strong his emotions are. The bridge of the song emphasizes the idea that the singer is powerless against his lover's charms, and he offers himself entirely to them. The song then returns to the chorus, which is repeated several times to conclude the song.
Overall, "Love Come Down" is a song that expresses the intensity of being in love, the feeling that your partner has complete control over your emotions and desires.
