Singer and producer Glenmore Brown was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1944. In the 1960s he launched his music career as a vocalist with Sonny Bradshaw's jazz group, later recording vocals for producers Duke Reid, Hopeton Lewis and Derrick Harriott. The 1970s would see Brown's career turn to production. He ran two labels: Pantomime and South East Music, and produced tracks for the likes of Prince Buster, Leslie Kong, Gregory Isaacs, Prince Jazzbo, Johnny Clarke, Wayne Jarrett and Sylford Walker.

In some circles Brown was know as the Rhythm Master and God Son. According to The Gleaner, he was nicknamed Rhythm Master for his ability to create catchy melodies, while God Son referred to his time working as a mentor for artists including Sugar Minott, General Lee and Joseph Cotton.

“He treated all musicians like friends and accepted the role of father to so many of them, therefore, he deserved the title,” his eldest daughter Rosemarie Macklin told The Gleaner. “But now he has gone home to the real Father.”

Brown died, aged 75, on 4 October at the Far Rockaway Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, New York.
