Thank you for this video, Puma was my grandmother and died before I was born. Even though she is not with us, the music with her beautiful voice still lives on till this day.

Puma went too early, still miss that unique voice. God bless the family.
Wow. Thank you so much for making this tribute. As a young teenager in England in the early 80s I was obsessed with Black Uhuru, and to this day they are my favourite ever group. That classic line up of Michael, Duckie and Puma is the greatest ever BH incarnation, and it was Puma's harmonies that really made it so. They turned out some incredible music between 1978 and 1983, and I doubt they would ever have stood out the way they did without the dimension that Puma added. She was the coolest female musician I had ever seen. I was also lucky enough to see the classic line up live in 1984, a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life. Today Jah 9 reminds me of Puma with her confidence and ability, and I have always wondered if she was inspired by her. RIP Sandra Jones, and thank you for those many hours of musical enjoyment you gave me when I was growing up.

I think Puma's image on Red , Sinsemilla , guess whos coming , gave the band a different intriguing dimension and when you listen to her wailing vocals she brings an angelic feel entwined with the sensational Rose & gruff Simpson. Ackee saltfish & Hardo is a simple recipe for success
