Kaylan - Rock Me All Night

Mauritius born brothers Dennis and Darren emerged in 2000 as Warner Music Australia signed R&B duo Kaylan. With a sound unique to Australian culture the album went mostly under appreciated. The boys then formed the dance music duo Disco Montego a year later releasing their debut album of the same name. The Dowlut brothers ran Bomb Music with partner George Said and were developing the career of Jeremy Gregory who was signed to Warner Music in the US. The group remixed a Mariah Carey track Boy (I Need You) from her 2002 album Charmbracelet after Carey was aware of their Australian success. Disco Montego were planning to relocate in 2005 to Los Angeles to take advantage of their success. However, their relocation plans had to be shelved when Darren Dowlut was diagnosed with cancer. Darren Dowlut died of chest cancer aged 26. Mariah Carey was among the performers who sent condolences.

He is the only currently living musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest possible honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievement in the arts and sciences. He is best known among mainstream audiences for songs such as "Sittin' in Limbo", "You Can Get It If You Really Want", "Many Rivers to Cross" from the soundtrack to The Harder They Come which helped popularize reggae across the world his cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" and Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" from the film, Cool Runnings. Outside of the reggae world, he is probably best known for his film appearance in The Harder They Come. Even after a string of hits, the singer has never quite managed to achieve mainstream acceptance, although in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he seemed poised for international stardom.During the 1981 River Tour, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band added Cliff's little-known song "Trapped" to their live set; it achieved great prominence when included on 1985's We Are the World benefit album). The follow-up, Cliff Hanger (1985) won a Grammy Award for 'Best Reggae Album', though it was his last major success in the U.S. until 1993.
