Description

Returning after 6 years, the original queen of reggae takes to the stage for a rare and intimate live performance.

Her first recording 'When I’m Gonna Be Free' in 1966, led to sessions with the legendary Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, followed by 'You Don’t Love Me – No, No, No', which went on to become one of the most famous reggae hits of all time.

Other hits include 'What Do You Do?', followed up by Delroy Williams and herself producing 'Come Again' on Trojan Records which sold close to 110,000 copies. 2000 single 'Never Ever' was released on Jet Star, becoming a smash hit on BBC Radio 1.

In 2001 she was honoured with the “Martin Luther King Award” by Caribbean Images in recognition of her contribution to Jamaican music.

Presented by The Jazz Cafe.
