Brown Sugar formed in London in 1976 made up of teenagers Pauline
Catlin, Caron Wheeler and Carol Simms. After Brown Sugar Caron
Wheeler became known worldwide as the vocalist in Soul II Soul and

‘Kofi'. “Black Pride” was originally released on the Lovers Rock
label, a fledgling reggae label formed by musicians Dennis Bovell
and John Kpiaye and producer Dennis Harris.
Brown Sugar were unique - not only were they one of the most
important of the first wave of lovers rock groups they were the
only group who managed to succesfully blend together a reggae roots
consciousness with a lovers rock sensibility. The classic ‘Black
Pride’ perfectly reflects this unique sound.
