considered a seminal reggae classic. Greensleeves also launched the =
careers of Shaggy with the crossover hit "Oh Carolina" (a No. 1 pop =
single) and Mr. Vegas' "Heads High", (MOBO Award). The label was also =
behind the crossover success of Beenie Man's anthemic "Who Am I" and the =
phenomenal "Diwali" rhythm which garnered a slew of hits from Sean Paul =
"Get Busy" to Wayne Wonder "No Letting Go". Greensleeves Publishing is =
also the home to producer extraordinaire Don "Corleon" Bennett, who =
