Blessed be the man that Walketh not In the counsel of the
Ungodly. Nor standeth in the ways of Sinners. Nor sitteth
in the seat of the Scornful. For I delight is in RAC
Therefore I&I must be like a tree Planted by the rivers
of Water. And bringeth forth Fruit in due season.
And what so ever I doeth shall Prosper
The weakhearted are Not so, Oh no!
They are like the Chaff that the wind Driveth away.
Therefore no weakheartman Shall stand in the Judgement
Nor no Sinners in the congregation of the Righteous.
RAC knoweth the ways of the Righteous
And know that the ways of the Weakheart shall crumble,
paralyse and Burn

b. Edmund Brooks, 1953, Westmoreland, Jamaica, West Indies.
Brooks initially entered the recording industry in 1972,
performing with an obscure band called the Tots. Their
debut, "Earth Is The Fullness", warranted limited attention
and the members of the ensemble left to pursue solo careers.
Recording as Mike Brooks, his solo career was the most
distinguished. In 1977 with producer Alvin "GG" Ranglin, he
released "Guiding Star", which led to a series of hits
within the Jamaican community at home and abroad. Biding his
time, he continued intermittently to release high-quality
hits throughout the 70s and 80s, including "Who Have Eyes To
See" in combination with Prince Far I, alongside the solo
hits "Come Sister Love", "Grooving", "Open The Door" and the
celebratory "What A Gathering"; the latter song utilized
Leroy Smart's "Ballistic Affair" rhythm. This modicum of
success led Brooks to the UK, where he joined the British
Reggae Artists Famine Appeal as a featured vocalist on the
charity single "Let's Make Africa Green Again". He continued
recording while in the UK, notably with the Instigators for
the lovers rock theme "Beyond The Hills". In 1990 he teamed
up with producer Glen Brown for an ill-advised project with
Norwegian producers Otto and Frank Hestness. The Nordic team
recorded digital rhythms that were overdubbed in London,
unfortunately resulting in an incomprehensible mess. His
1995 release, Hardcore Lover, resulted in his exoneration,
largely owing to notable combination tunes with Delroy
Wilson and Pat Kelly.
