@caribbeandad: John Holt sang it first… then half of Jamaica wanted a piece of the riddim. 🇯🇲🔥 “Sweetie Come Brush Me” arrived around 1982, produced by the legendary Junjo Lawes. But the real story is what happened next. The rhythm became a foundation for songs from Yellowman, Sister Nancy, Frankie Paul, Toyan, Don Carlos and many more. That's one of the things that makes Jamaican music so special: One rhythm can become 10, 20, 30 different stories. ➡️ Swipe through the history behind this John Holt classic.
