In SHEPHERD OF A MAN you will journey with Denroy Morgan from the
day he was born to the present day as he shares his life story in
his own words: Bert Reid and I started to move together, I went in
and spent my money to record Sweet Tender Love and we never got a
deal. Then he wrote I'll Do Anything for You and I recorded it and
the first person we took it to was Morris Levy, the Jewish mafia in
the music business. . Morris Levy had Frankie Crocker the top DJ in
New York and Larry Levan, the top club DJ, both in his pockets, so
when they took I'll Do Anything for You to the club called Garage,
the club was rocking. When Crocker bust it on WBLS-Radio the phones
lit up, and it became a national hit record. Denroy Morgan has
watchfully and consistently responded to his calling, for which he
was created and set apart, having charted the worldwide hit I'll Do
Anything for You, and such other radio favorites as Sweet Tender
Love, Happy Feelings, and Africa is Calling. The father of thirty
children, Denroy is a family man who after thirty years of
exploration and discovery has evolved from full-time music to
full-time ministry. Having truly experienced the need of unity, he
teaches that which comes with purity of the mind and the spirit
within oneself must be a unity of the redeeming messiah and the
restoring messiah, bonded together and unified into the one spirit
of the Creator - mighty God of the universe. Denroy Morgan was born
in May Pen in Clarendon, West Indies but left Jamaica in 1965 at
the age of 19 and traveled to the United States to become a
musician. Morgan's peak period was when he signed in 1984 with RCA
Records. That deal lead to the release of the reggae album "Make My
Day" and marked him as the first reggae artist to be signed to RCA
Records.
