He died in a recording studio.
Barry Brown was one of a number of singers to find success in the 1970's under producer Bunny Lee. Although his first release, 'Girl You're Always On My Mind', had little impact, his vocal style soon found popularity, with his first hit coming with 1979's 'Step It Up Youthman', which led to an album of the same name on Third World 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. 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.
In the 1990's, Brown's health deteriorated, suffering with 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.
