Miss Lou (Part 1) ~ LONG TIME GAL

Miss Lou -- Dr. Louise Bennett Coverley has made a distinguished contribution to the development of Arts and Culture in both in Jamaica and the Caribbean region at large. Through her skillfully penned prose in Jamaican patois, Miss Lou has been able to raise the folk dialect to an art level now accepted and appreciated by all Jamaicans.

Rip rest in peace your folk will live on and on

[@melanier7309]

I learned this song one of the many times, I visited Jamaica as a child.

[@pencilnib7106]

I had never heard of this woman before we sang this song in choir and it’s a damn shame. I’m not Jamacian but the pure unadulterated happiness I feel when I hear it makes me cry tears of joy. She brings a type of fun and a love of music and community to her performance that I see in few other people.

[@altheabecford2175]

Memories don't live like people do love this song
