| - b. Nancy Russell, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. Sister Nancy was one of 15 siblings; her brother Robert, known to her family as Dickie, found fame as [a121762]. The latter began chanting on Prince Norman's sound system before settling with Jahlove Music. While the Brigadier's reputation as the number one cultural DJ flourished, by her mid-teens, Nancy was occasionally performing on the sound system. Winston Riley was the first producer to take Nancy into the recording studio in 1980 for her debut, %22Papa Dean%22. The tune was a success and Nancy's career began in earnest. She performed at Reggae Sunsplash, which was transmitted globally. A notable appearance on A Dee Jay Explosion saw Nancy performing %22Chalice A Fe Burn%22 and %22Boom Shacka Lacka%22. With Winston Riley in 1982 her debut One Two was released, featuring the title track, %22Aint No Stopping Nancy%22, %22Bam Bam%22 and %22Only Woman DJ With Degree%22. She also recorded a classic rendition of %22King And Queen%22 with Yellowman. With producer Henry %22Junjo%22 Lawes, she recorded %22A No Any Man Can Test Sister Nancy%22, %22Bang Belly%22 and another Yellowman combination, %22Jah Mek Us Fe A Purpose%22. She continued appearing live in the dancehall where she often performed alongside her brother on the Jahlove Music Sound System. The sound toured internationally to rave reviews, including a celebrated session at Brixton Town Hall, London, where both Jerry and Nancy made their debut performances in the UK.
