What Happened To Sophia George?

In 1985, Sophia George emerged on the world stage courtesy of her smash debut single "Girlie Girlie". A song that topped the Jamaican charts for eleven weeks and also charted internationally. She seemed set to enjoy a huge career but dropped out of sight after a few years

I was the drummer of her debut tour, with PROFESSOR LARRY on bass and MALORY WILLIAMS on keyboard, BUBBLERS and TONY from RUFF-CUTT, and I RAS LEROY HOLMES on drums.She was a force-of- nature and a ray of sunshine who deserves ALL the blessings of JAH, I’m glad to see her and CHUNGIE endured. RASPECT in EVERY ASPECT!!🇯🇲🎶👏🏿

Give Thanks King for your interjection, memoirs are precious 💚💛❤️

The people in Guyana 🇬🇾 play this tune none stop when I was growing up. One of the best 80s song that stood the test of time. I still run this one on a regular. I love the fact that this song spun many variations of girlie girlie tunes.

[@user-lq2db6ly1l]

Always wondered where Sophia George was and now I'm happy to know she's ok, lots of love and blessings to you and your family.❤

[@amrayabaptiste2933]

Happy to see she and her husband are enjoying a beautiful family life❤ blessings

[@jtennant1275]

Sophia and myself went to Allman Town Primary will always remember her...

[@sethpatsanza7935]

I remember my late uncle because of this.. I played it to him when I was a teen...he was surprised I loved this song and had a tape😂 Next thing he took me to first buju concert ever in 🇿🇼

[@patm11236]

It's a really nice story. She made the right decision and had a wonderful life. ❤❤

[@nataliewebster7183]

Awesome. She made the right decision. Family first

[@A4Natty]

Her song was a fantastic hit here in Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@themadsamplist]

I'm from the Netherlands and Girlie Girlie was very big here. I still have the 12" record

[@jasonroyalte8532]

I’m making some big songs too

[@THEclKidd]

A good marriage is a wonderful blessing 😊

[@Ben-Ken]

Beautiful woman inside and out, beautiful family. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Thank you too!

[@trevormitchell8079]

Known her and family since she was a kid in Allman Town, always wondered what happened to her. Big up Cat,Juliet,Marlon. Mother's name Doris. Nice people

[@DAVENATCHSTOCKS]

Juliet ..good friend of mine 📈

[@michahtaylor1182]

I definitely remember this track as a child coming up. It was played in heavy rotation and words were catchy

[@loveheals6184]

Yay!!! My childhood ❤❤❤❤❤ I lost it when I first heard this again in the U.S. Took me back to being a little Ghanaian-Nigerian girl in Nigeria. We used to rewind to catch the lyrics and LOVED the video. We screamed when we heard our countries mentioned as where this Girlie Girlie young man/gyalist had girlfriends 😂

[@A4Natty]

I'm actually very, very pleased to hear how her life turned out Each time I view that music video, her in her kangol reminds of another hit song, "Wear yuh size" by Lieutenant Stitchie I loved the eighties as a child growing up, it represents, peace, security, laughter and very very fond memories of my family.

[@MsWildberry1]

RAS never fails to come up with nuggets. And it's so beautiful to be reminded of artists like beautiful Sophie who gave us so much pleasure. Raspect ❤💛💚

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Thanks ✌️ I'm inspired by you wonderful subscribers

[@Infinitebrandon]

I wouldn't say nuggets, that's what we call a-hole scrubs trying to surf with us big boys that'll make us have to rescue them if they try to ride big waves. RAS drops gems of holy spirit, invincible and irreplaceable. Seen? Bless

[@MsWildberry1]

@Infinitebrandon Don't lecture me . RAS knows that I love this channel. Furthermore there is such a thing as a golden nugget and this is what RAS delivered a Golden Nugget. Man oh man you are one petty trouble making tool and yu need fi gu lecture yu woman, damn feisty gu find something to do.

[@stuckintha90s]

Girlie Girlie was my older cousin's favourite song. He literally drove me nuts with it 😅

[@truthandjustice.1182]

They give me that name because they said I did have a lot of girls..

[@davidhinkson8856]

I remember my father loved Girlie Girlie and I remember the replies to it as well, Bwoyie Bwoyie and Lovindeer's Jumpy Jumpy. I always wondered what had become of her but it's good to see she put family first and her children have been successful in their endeavors.

[@pureromanceable]

This is a mega hit reggae song in 1985 this song play in birthday bashment party or wedding reception may God continue to bless her union and her lovely family.

What a coincidence seeing this, never Heard of her but, I happen to see her about 10 minutes on Instagram and this was the song that was played 🔄🕛🎶🙌

Good job, I didn’t know NE safety Patrick Chung ‘s mom is Sophia George. Small world, small world

[@jpang5477]

She sure is

[@riverfrontjerkfestival5579]

yes she is reaping the benefits of being a great parent

[@culturedat]

@@riverfrontjerkfestival5579 I wouldn't say that... Patrick Chung been in trouble during and after his NFL days. I remember his mom back in the day as the new age 80s girl, just didn't think she would marry Mr Chung lol. To me back in them days, she'd be with Junjo lawes 😆 🤣

[@user-wg5be8qc2g]

[@KeilahsKey]

This is my first time hearing of her

[@lawrencenjawe9875]

Yes Girlie Girlie was a smash back then. Everbody loved it. Unfortunately female reggae artists besides a few have hardly even being examples of longevity..June Lodge ranks top among them in the 80s in that regard.. It's no secret though that staying 3 years (back in the days) without releasing new material in the competitive reggae almost always has its consequences ..

[@DJIMMI-G]

In your intro, I think you ment Lady G. Lady Saw didn't buss until 93

[@THEclKidd]

Yes u are correct lady hit song was find a man of my own in 1993 that burst her out rass made a mistake from 80s was sister Nancy pam hall gem Myers chamaine and others

[@dreadelectric7745]

It was a HUGE, HUGE hit…

[@MarkusAudio]

Would you please elaborate a bit on a Nigerian child singer called Chi Chi of Africa? Or how Reggae was a means for children to express their messages in those turbulent times. Chi Chi's tune Don't Smoke was a big hit in the 80s.

[@lionelmarguerite2558]

Hey RAS! What about the story of Glenroy Richards? Saddly died at 20 with not a lot of tunes. Thanks in advance.

[@mykallstarrtafari9638]

Now that story would be interesting indeed but very short 👍🏾

[@blackwolverine1]

You should cover Dr.Dread of RAS Records.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Excellent suggestion. Will get to work on it

[@MrPhrenzi]

1 correction though.....Patrick wasnt the 1st child......Patrice is the oldest child for Sophia

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Noted 👍

[@Kingz_of_the_jungle]

She looks like the young lady named "Jukebox" in the series Power: Raising Kanaan so much so I been saying she's been cloned 😅😅

[@karriszane754]

Stop talking and we hear the song

[@michaelrichards3260]

Unu wanna know the real truth? Well insecurity and jealousy killed her career. Literally entered into marriage to prove loyalty to Chungy, him deliberately breed her every year to stop her touring. Him did fraid a every black man round her. Disclaimer these are aligations i heard in aalman town dwl
