Story of Sister Nancy | The First Female Dancehall Star

Sister Nancy emerged in the mid-1970s and within a few years became the first female Dancehall DJ to truly break into prominence before retiring abruptly after one album. Totally unaware that her track Bam Bam had become an international smash hit and the most sampled reggae song of all time

Gwaan Sister Nancy, the original Dancehall Queen. I'm so glad she rightly get her recompense that was due. *"Bam Bam"* is still a bad bad tune, only for the fact she rides on one of the wickedest riddims ever, the original *"Stalag"* riddim. Jah Bless this woman for many earthstrong to come. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

So so so glad I got to see her perform live in Brooklyn one year.

I was lucky to have discovered Toots and the Maytals earlier and heard the original What a Bam Bam way back then before her version came along. I cannot see or hear what people heard in her version as it seemed a pale imitation of the original masterpiece. Nevertheless, I am glad it is Sister Nancy and not a blue eyed blond cashing in on our culture. Good luck to her

Beautiful story of Redemption in the End!♥

Sister Nancy is finally getting her recognition from her hit song “Bam Bam”. I still play that song today. That song came from watching Belly movie.

Hard choice between 2 countries (Canada and Russia) who are essentially situated in the Temperate Zone known for its innumerable glacier lakes..and closer to the Artic...My Guess is Canada..
