- Official Garnett Silk Live Performance 1994
One of the most exciting young talents to arise out of the '80s dancehall scene, Garnett Silk began his career as a child toaster, but ended it as one of Jamaica's most astonishing singers; with a rich and emotive voice, he took the nation by storm. He seemed destined for international stardom, when his career was cut cruelly short by his death in 1994.
Born Garnett Damoin Smith in Jamaica's Manchester parish on April 2, 1966, the young DJ-to-be, had decided on his career choice as a small child. Encouraged by family and friends, Silk first took the stage at the Soul Remembrance sound system at the tender age of 12, under the moniker Little Bimbo. The tiny toaster so impressed the audience that he swiftly began DJ'ing regularly, first at Soul Remembrance, and then as the decade turned, at Pepper's Disco, Stereophonic, and then Destiny Outernational. It was at this latter sound system where the teen first met Tony Rebel, another Manchester native. Rebel was making a name for himself as a cultural toaster and went on to become a major influence on the dancehall scene, and on Little Bimbo himself. The DJ was still in his teens when he cut his first song, 1985's "Ram Dance Master"; he may have recorded others, but none have yet surfaced. It was another two years before Little Bimbo's debut single, "Problems Everywhere," appeared. Cut with producer Delroy Collins, the posthumous Journey album features not just the single, but an album's worth of material recorded by the two at this time.
Garnett Silk Meets the Conquering LionIn 1987, Little Bimbo linked up with Sugar Minott and recorded the "No Disrespect" single for the older man's Youth Promotion label. Coincidentally, Tony Rebel was at this time the star DJ for Minott's Youth Promotion sound system, and he and Little Bimbo immediately hooked back up. The pair began performing as a duo around the sound systems to much acclaim. The Garnett Silk Meets the Conquering Lion: A Dub Plate Selection album dates from about this time and features a clutch of exclusive recordings the DJ cut for the sound system from the mid-'80s through the end of the decade. Rebel, a Rastarfari, eventually converted Little Bimbo to his religion with the help of dub poet Yasus Afari, a close friend of both the DJs. If Rebel had a massive impact on Silk's religious beliefs and toasting themes, Derrick Morgan would have an equal impact on his career.
Tony Rebel Meets Garnett Silk in a Dancehall ConferenceIn 1989, the veteran singing star and producer brought Rebel and Little Bimbo into Bunny Lee's studio in Dunhaney Park to record the two both individually and as a duo. Morgan had one listen and sat Little Bimbo down and gave him some fatherly advice -- stop toasting and start singing. he Heartbeat label's Tony Rebel Meets Garnet Silk in a Dancehall Conference compiles these early Morgan-overseen recordings and captures Little Bimbo (and he was still known by that name at the time) at the crossroads of his career. Several of the tracks are pure toasts, others are somewhere in between, but when Little Bimbo sang, even though his delivery still has the clipped tones of dancehall, he was magnificent. His solo cover of "Killing Me Softly With Her Song" was heartbreaking in delivery, while "Help the Poor and Needy," a version of "A Little Oil in My Lamp," split between Rebel's rough toasts and Little Bimbo's fervid singing, was equally memorable.
Over the next year, the still-maturing singer cut a number of singles for a variety of producers -- King Tubby, Donovan Germain, and Prince/King Jammy amongst them -- before hooking up with Steely & Clevie in 1990. He inked a contract with the production team and recorded an album's worth of songs for them. However, only one, "We Can Be Together," a duet with Chevelle Franklin, was actually released, at least in the singer's lifetime. Discouraged, he returned to Manchester and threw himself into songwriting, often in partnership with an old friend, Anthony "Fire" Rochester.
Nothing Can Divide UsThe intervening period wasn't a total waste as he now had a sheaf of new songs and a new name. Besides the one single, Steely & Clevie had also convinced Little Bimbo to drop his old moniker and take up Garnett Silk instead; the silk, of course, referring to his smooth, silky tones. Another run-in with Tony Rebel brought an introduction to Courtney Cole, owner of the Roof International label. Silk would record a plethora of seminal songs at the producer's Ocho Rios studio, amongst them were the hits "Mama," "Seven Spanish Angels," and a phenomenal cover of the Johnny Nash classic "I Can See Clearly Now," the biggest smash of the group.

Blessing to this Royal King of Israel. You can see the spirit of God move through this Brother with no Question. This Brother definitely did the works of God on earth through words, singing and deed. As the spirit move through the flesh of men. GOD has use the spirit to light a fire in some the younger generation of singers. You can feel that same spirit in and vibe in Ras Shiloh, Terry Linden, Lila Ike, Chronixx, Aaron Silk, and Silk Jr. Especially Ras Shiloh sometimes you close your eyes when Ras Shiloh is singing that brother sounds exactly like Garnett Silk. Same spirit of God but different flesh . God works continue to bring us back to him through Word, Sound, Power and Works. Blessing to Gamett Silk may he continue to Rest in The Bossom of Abraham.

He had Jah given talent, sings about past, present and future experiences and unfortunately African countries have no leader only politicians who don't care about their people, they even help Babylon to exploit their own, it's a shame, despite so many black prophet with their prophecy.

Him music live on Jah children
Real silky voice God forgive me for saying this but it better if it some of these crosses dancehall artist was the one are not around Garnet u truly miss everytime I hear voice it reminds me what a custom voice is like......Genuine voice
Why do you need to be forgiven for speaking truth? The music now is violence, degrading of women, turning ppl brain to mush. I've been to places, and unfortunately living in the same house with a sibling that listen to what they consider music. Here's what I concluded:
1. The lyrics makes no sense, beats can be very catching.
2. Asked my sibling if they understood what was being sang- the response " you don't need to understand to like the artiste' 😢
We from country so they don’t like when country rises up
❤💛 💚
❤❤❤❤
Thanksgiving
I saw garnett burn body when he died him have one and a half foot one hand all him morrow a run out a him head me can see in side him we lose a great musician he died when him was 28
Sip in power spiritual one
My brother go so soon
frie fi dem. that kill jah son
He would have been too great
The Most High says "Make A Joyful Noise Into Him" I don't like listening to sad songs, only songs that uplift GODS spirit in me and keeps me feeling happy towards Him and humanity. Without this true spirit music flowing through the airwaves upward, who knows what condition the world would be in now, could be a deviating lot worse. The Holy Spirit is the restrainer, pray the Father in heaven that He not take He, the Holy Spirit away any time soon.
Up
Posthumously
Can anyone identify the different artiste that's on stage?
Garnett should a have body guard probably him wouldn't daed fram u a star u have to ProTech yourself
The good pass young.
Why am i now noticing he stop ever so often to pray.
Dem kill dem jah son
The best I ever know God bless him
I remember that it was good
I'm just upset that the man behind is death is still enjoying his time in music walking around without ever been charged. Badmind is real and his day will come too
Help the underprivileged 😮
Good singer and stage performer ! Just one careless mistake base on is massages him should not mix up with gun ! Whatever materials thief took never worth life.smh rest in peace.
Did he smoke?
