He started out in the mid-1980s deejaying on various sound systems and even recording the occasional track under the moniker "Little Bimbo". By the first part of the 90s, his locks had grown out and he went from deejay to singer, changing his name to Garnett Silk.
Silk was born Garnett Daymon Smith (2 April, 1966) in the Brumalia district of Mandeville, Jamaica. He was taken under the wing of Rasta deejay Tony Rebel and introduced to Sugar Minott's Youthman Promotion sound system, which had a hand in recruiting many young acts who later became international stars.
Along with Rebel, Silk reintroduced Rastafarianism into a dancehall scene which by 1992 had become nearly overwrought with X-rated and violent lyrics. He burst on the scene recording many hit tunes and albums, including "Nothing Can Divide Us", "It's Growing" and "100% Silk".
Tragically a fire at his mother's house on 9 December 1994 killed both Garnett and his mother (with Garnett first escaping then giving up his own life trying to save his mother's). The Jamaican reggae scene was shocked by his death and it is a testament to his talent and his amazing voice that his music is still selling worldwide today, possibly stronger now than it did before his untimely demise.
All the Woman I need
Garnett Silk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that was all before she came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But she's here it's not the same
It's not the same
She fills me up
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
But she's all the woman that I need
And in the morning when I kiss her eyes
She takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
She holds me close and won't let go
She fills me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
She fills me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
But She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before she came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now she's here it's not the same
It's not the same
She fills me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
But She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
She fills me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
But She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need
She fills me up
She gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
She's all I got
But She's all I got in this world
And she's all the woman that I need

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
Before meeting this woman, I was very unhappy and cried myself to sleep every night
But that was all before she came
Since meeting her, my life has changed significantly for the better
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right

But she's here it's not the same
Now that she's in my life, I realize that love can be fulfilling and joyful without any pain
She fills me up
She makes me feel complete and satisfied

More love than I've ever seen
The amount of love she gives me is overwhelming and surpasses anything I've experienced before
She's all I got
She's the only thing that truly matters in my life
But she's all the woman that I need
I don't need anyone else as long as I have her
And in the morning when I kiss her eyes
When I wake up and see her, I feel so grateful and in love
She takes me down and rocks me slow
She comforts me and makes me feel safe and secure
And in the evening when the moon is high
Even as the day ends, my love for her never fades
She holds me close and won't let go
She embraces me tightly and never wants to let me go
But She's all I got in this world
No matter what else happens, she's the only thing that truly matters
