When James Brown sang "It's A Man's Man's World" he might have been singing about Jamaica, where, for the most part, women have not carved out significant careers in the music business. Traditionally, most producers in reggae have concentrated on male vocalists, and the few of them who have bothered recording women have not had major or lasting hits with their female artists. Conceptually, the problem started with the material that women were generally allowed to perform, which bore little or no relation to their own lives or to the lives of women in general. The exception to this is Studio One. Since the early 1960s, the label has always recorded and promoted women, whether in duets or as featured artists. Throughout the fifties, Clement Dodd's legendary "Downbeat" sound system featured top American female singers like Nellie Lutcher, Margie Day, Jewel King, and Sarah Vaughn. When Studio One turned to recording local artists, some of the earliest songs featured women. Duets between women and men were extremely popular at the time, following the wide acceptance in Jamaica of the "Shirley and Lee" model that had such an impact on the American r&b scene in the late fifties. Starting in the early sixties Studio One recorded such duets as Basil Gabbidon with Fay, and with Jeanne. Roy Panton dueted with Millie Small, Paulette, Hyacinth, and Annette. Millie Small, who later went on to score internationally with "My Boy Lollipop", started at Studio One as a duet singer with stars like Owen Grey and others. Lascelles Perkins dueted with Yvonne and Dimples. Shirley "Dimples" Smith also sang with Andy and Delroy Wilson. Other duets featured Winston Stewart and Barbara, Stranger Cole and Patsy Todd, Lord Creator and Enid Campbell, as well as Clive and Naomi. The top female group of the ska era was the Soulettes that featured Rita Anderson (who married Bob Marley, a member of the top Studio One group, the Wailers). The Soulettes also sang backups for Lee Perry and Jackie Opel, as well as working with the Wailers in a virtual Studio One supergroup. Apart from her work with the Soulettes, Rita sang duets with Jackie Opel, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh, as well as releasing a number of solo sides. Many of Rita's collaborations with the Wailers can be found on HB 201, Bob Marley and the Wailers Wailers and Friends. Rita, of course, went on to have a strong solo career, as well as being one of Bob Marley's backup vocalists in the I-Threes. By the Rock Steady era many more women had come to the forefront at Studio One. The top female at the time was Marcia Griffiths, but others like Nora Dean, Tiny Brown, Jerry Jones, Little Lulu, the Castle Sisters, Cynthia Richards, The Summertaires, Doreen Schaffer, Girl Wonder, Norma White, Dawn Penn, and Norma Fraser were making well received sides for Studio One. On the religious front, the Studio One affiliated Tabernacle label was releasing material by Joan Creary, the Christian Sisters, Monica Alexander, Adinah Edwards, Phyllis East, The Marvettes, Sister Enid, the Soul Sisters, and the Spiritual Sisters. The reggae years of the 1970s and 1980s were filled with releases by Pam Reid, the Jay Tees, Pansy Scott, Myrna Hague, Jennifer Lara, Cherry-Anne, Patsy Wallace, Roy Richards and Enid Cumberland, Della Humphreys, and Flo Burnett. In the Studio One vaults are unreleased material from artists like Patsy Edwards, Yvette Vagiana, Dorothy Bernard, and Dorothy Jones. Feel Like Jumping features a cross section of the top females at Studio One, starting in the late sixties and covering the seventies and early eighties. This was a period when some of the most legendary songs in reggae history were being made at Studio One, featuring the label's top recording ensembles, the Soul Vendors, the Sound Dimension and the Soul Defenders among others. Many of the songs selected here are the top hits by the artists as well. First up is a brand new recording from Claudette "Nana" McLean, begun in Jamaica during November of 1999 and mixed in New York on December 5th. "Don't Worry About Me" was written with original Soul Defenders member Vin Morgan who along with Nana is a Linstead native. Nana, after an impressive debut at the Donkey Carnival held at the market in Linstead, moved to Studio One where she began recording with the Soul Defenders band, scoring in 1971 with "Till I Kissed You." Another well-received song was 1971's "A Little Love," although "Soul Responding" was possibly her biggest hit. Her local popularity led to a contract with A&M Records, which was dabbling in the reggae market, having signed fellow Studio One alum Dennis Brown. Another disappointing major label outing led her back to the local market where Nana joined up with King Jammy and Donovan Germaine. In 1997 Germaine's Penthouse label released the Collector's Series album, filled with Studio One remakes, which earned Nana, now a Canadian resident, a Juno award. "Sleeping Trees" features an impressive vocal outing by Nina Soul, over a track originally recorded by the male vocal group the Saints (but never released) and the musicianship of the legendary Soul Vendors band. Although the track was originally recorded in the late sixties it was revived in November 1999 and mixed at the same session as "Don't Worry About Me." Nina Soul was born Soila Williams on November 19th, 1956. She, unlike many other singers of her generation, did not come from either stage work or from local talent contests. She was introduced to Studio One by Devon Russell. The first song she recorded was "Sometimes It Can Be Cold and Lonely." Her version of "Barb Wire" was well received and she delivered a spirited version of the song at the Studio One 35th Anniversary show at the National Arena Kingston, Jamaica. Nina has also recorded a number of tracks for the label that remain unreleased. While at Studio One she sang backups for Freddie McGregor, Devon Russell, Ernest Wilson and Johnny Osbourne. "Feel Like Jumping" by Marcia Griffiths was a dancehall scorcher that, strangely enough, did not receive the amount of versioning at Studio One that its popularity would seem to have demanded, with only Roland Alphonso, Little John, and Josie Wales weighing in. This version was taken from the original session tapes and does not feature the later Roland saxophone overdub. The song also formed the basis of Toots and the Maytals big hit, "54-46." Marcia's father was a long time friend of Mr. Dodd and was happy to see his daughter recording for Studio One. A volume of songs that were basically experiments, while a winning formula was being sought, marked her stay at the label. The first fruit came to bear with "Feel Like Jumping," a big hit in 1968, followed by "Melody Life" and "Truly." By the way, that is Jackie Mittoo doing the guttural "yeah yeah's" in the background of the song. It was at Studio One that Marcia teamed up with Bob Andy, and they went on to score an international hit with "Young Gifted and Black," although their sublime Studio One duet "Really Together" was recorded earlier ("Really Together" a/k/a "Always Together" can be found on HB 47 Collector's Edition). Marcia also recorded with singer Owen Boyce, releasing "Hurting Inside," circa 1965. Marcia Griffiths has gone onto international fame as a member of the I-Threes, Bob Marley's backing singers, as well as being a prolific solo artist. Her duet with Bob on "Oh My Darling" can be found on HB 201, Bob Marley and the Wailers Wailers and Friends. Marcia scored a huge hit in 1989 with "Electric Boogie," which spawned its own dance phenomena that only added to the craze. For more Marcia Griffiths on Heartbeat check HB 139, Truly. "No No No" a/k/a "You Don't Love Me" is the original version of Dawn Penn's international hit that Steelie and Clevie recreated (available on Steelie & Clevie Play Studio One Vintage, HB 116) after seeing Dawn's smashing performance at the Studio One 35th Anniversary Concert at the National Arena. The whole crowd just erupted after she started the song, attesting to the enduring popularity of the track. "No No No" is one of the many Jamaican releases in which the song's notoriety outstrips that of the singer, and many in the audience at the concert actually remembered the song but not Dawn Penn. Which is not all that remarkable as this was her only release for Studio One and the songs that she recorded later for Prince Buster failed to make a dent on the local charts. Interestingly enough, "No No No" was originally recorded as a Ska number, but that version still remains unreleased. After this, Dawn left the island and moved to the British Virgin Islands, not returning to Jamaica to live for almost twenty years. The remake of "No No No" was licensed to Big Beat/Atlantic by Heartbeat after the 12" release became an underground hit in the New York clubs, but the deal quickly soured and became one of the many lost opportunities for reggae music. "I Was Wrong," done for Studio One, remains unreleased. "Whisper to Me" and "Leave Me in Misery" are both by Cecile Campbell, a very underrated singer whose releases made little impact on the Jamaican market. Cecile was the sister of the legendary Cornell Campbell who recorded a solid body of work for Studio One and a variety of producers, starting with "Under the Old Tree" on Clement Dodd's All Stars label in 1959. It was Cornell who brought his sister to Studio One. She released a variety of tracks for the label including "I Need Love," "Shimmering Star," and "Sing Out Loud." Over the years, "Shimmering Star" has been mistakenly credited to Marcia Griffiths. Mr. Dodd had faith that Cecile would prove to be a top artist and recorded a number of tracks, trying to find the winning formula. "You Got Yours" and "Bring Him Home" remain unreleased. She is now living in New York and recently contacted Mr. Dodd, expressing interest in picking up where she and the label left off. Denise Darlington was a late addition to the Studio One stable. She recorded "Feel So Good" while she was living in New York and had been introduced to Mr. Dodd by his friend Leroy Riley, who brought her by the old Studio One shop in Brooklyn which was located on Schenectady Avenue by Sterling and St. John's. She came to Jamaica and recorded "Feel So Good" and "War No Right," which was a minor hit, singing over older rhythms done years before. In the vaults are a number of unreleased tracks like "Reggae Music," which was to be the basis of an album that was never completed. And no, she is not related to Mr. Dodd. "Try a Little Smile" features the later 12" extended mix that brought both the song and Doreen Schaffer new popularity when it was released in the late seventies. This version was overdubbed and re-made from the original 7" release. Doreen is a true veteran of the Jamaican music industry, having started at the very beginning. Her big hit "Adorable You" from 1965 really launched her career, as did her popular duets with the legendary Jackie Opel from the same period. Doreen performed regularly with Jackie during the ska era, reprising their big hit "The Vow" as well as appearing on the bandstand with the Ska-talites. Her affiliation with the Ska-talites, the premier recording unit of the ska era, is still as strong today as it was when it started in the mid sixties. The Webber sisters, Marlene and Cynthia, recorded both as the Webber Sisters and as the Tonettes for Studio One. They started with the label as the Tonettes during the ska era, releasing a number of songs on the D Darling and N.D Record label in 1963. "I'll Give It To You" (1968) was well received and its updated release as a 12" in the late seventies again brought the group much deserved attention. It can be found on HB 224, Studio One Showcase Vol. 1. "Come On Home" a/k/a "Come On" was one of the only songs ever released under the Webber name coming out on the Supreme label circa 1969. Another Webber Sisters track, "You've Lost Your Chance," remains unreleased. Marlene, actually the lead voice of the group, also released a number of solo material for Studio One and one track, "Lindy," remains unreleased. On the master tapes was a hilarious version of "Barb Wire" that found Marlene carefully avoiding the songs double entendres while trying to make the most of the few lyrics that still remained before dissolving in hysterical laughter. "Sea Puss and Bammie," despite its strange title and lyrics, is not a dirty song. It is basically a straight forward accounting of a favorite, at least for Little Audrey, food dish that included Sea Puss, better known as Octopus. Little Audrey hailed from the country area of Jamaica and came to Kingston to record. Mr. Dodd remembers her a shy person who dressed simply though not stylishly. This song is a perfect example of what is known as "country reggae," and which was immensely popular outside of Kingston"s corporate area. No other songs by Little Audrey have yet been released from the vaults of Studio One. The Jay Tees were the two Berry sisters who were DJs. They recorded quite a few songs for Studio One but never quite finished an album, maybe because they never found the wide acceptance that Althea and Donna were enjoying with their "Uptown Top Ranking." "Buck Town Corner" is a section of east Kingston, very close to Warrika Hills, and this topical song touches on food and ganja, replete with the slang of the day. The Berry Sisters came to the label unpolished, and Mr. Dodd assigned both Johnny Osbourne and Jennifer Lara to tutor the duo. Other tracks by the Jay Trees included "A Prayer To Jah," "One and One," and "Learn To Live Right." "Consider Me," a nice recut off the "I Don't Know Why" rhythm, was a well received outing by singer Jennifer Lara, whose brother Derrick has been a top vocalist in his own right as a member of the Tamlins vocal trio. Jennifer also scored with the seminal "Where Have All The Good Me Gone," also done for Studio One. While at the label, Jennifer sang backups for Devon Russell and Johnny Osbourne, and most notably on Freddie McGregor's "I Am Ready" album. She also recorded and released a series of duets with Delroy Wilson. Since leaving the label, Jennifer has toured England and recorded for a variety of producers including King Jammy and the late Junjo Lawes. "You Turn Me On" featured top dancehall star Bounty Killer. Jennifer Lara is a singer who continues to exhibit a lot of potential but who has not been able to surpass the Studio One material that launched her career. Myrna Hague is a singer who, despite several good outings, never caught on with the public. Her material, which veered towards a slighter pop sound, might have been unfashionable when compared to the offerings by her other early seventies contemporaries. Maybe it was her jazz leanings that Mr. Dodd toned down for his releases that were the issue. However, her seven singles for Studio One meant that she was getting a fair amount of attention and push from the label. "What About Me," circa 1975, was one of her better received singles and this version omits the later synthesizer overdub that even Mr. Dodd admitted did little to improve the track. Myrna was related to Mr. Dodd, as she was his cousin on his maternal side. She wasn't a prolific artist although she recorded better than an album's worth of material for Studio One. After Studio One, she self produced an album, Bring In The Clowns, which was received with little response. About ten years ago Myrna married noted Jamaican bandleader Sonny Bradshaw and currently has been appearing with his group. In the vaults at Studio One are a number of jazz sides that remain unreleased. Next up is the sublime "First Cut Is the Deepest" by Norma Fraser, which has long been a Studio One favorite. Originally recorded by Cat Stevens, Norma's interpretation is actually based on P.P. Arnold's version of the song (backed by the Nice) that was released in the U.K. on the Immediate label, cracking the top twenty in 1967. The Studio One version got Norma voted Best Female Newcomer in the U.K. She remembers the song coming together when Jackie and the guitarist finally worked out the intro section. Norma started her recording career with a duet featuring Lord Creator. "We'll Be Lovers" reached number one in 1961. As a singer, Norma was very popular with the public, joining the Sheiks, the Cavaliers, the Albert Davis Trio, and Stan Hedland and Los Caballeros on the bandstand. She also appeared at numerous hotels and clubs including Club 35 in Montego Bay, and on shows with American artists Chuck Jackson, Tammy Terrell, and Sam Cooke. On the recording front, Norma dueted with Ken Boothe ("Give Me The Right"), Lord Brynner ("Malika") and Slim Smith ("Do You Love Me"). As a solo artist between 1965 and 1968, Norma recorded seven singles for Studio One on a variety of its related labels with varying commercial success. This extended mix of "First Cut Is The Deepest" was made in December 1999 by Randy Phipps and Chris Wilson at Music City in New York. Jerry Jones was an American singer who had come to Jamaica to perform at a show produced by Alty East at the Regal Theater. Mr. Dodd was one of the audience members. Jerry originally hailed from Birmingham, Alabama and moved to Canton, Ohio where she performed at amateur talent shows. She started performing throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York State and as far north as Toronto and Montreal, appearing with top Motown and soul stars. In the mid sixties she moved to Miami where one of her bookings brought her to Jamaica. After Mr. Dodd saw her at the Regal, he invited her to record for Studio One, releasing a number of singles and the Jerry Jones at the Hotel Kingston album. The Hotel Kingston was located on Half Way Tree Road across from the Jamaica Telephone Company and now houses some government offices. Mr. Dodd and Alty East produced a series of shows for Jerry that were held at the hotel and which led to the title of the album, but the songs were all recorded at the studio on Brentford Road. "Compared to What" (1970) was a cover of the Les McCann and Eddie Harris collaboration that was a hit off the 1969 Swiss Movement album done for Atlantic. Jerry Jones had other Studio One releases like "Still Waters" (1970) and "Honey Come Back" (1971) that were also quite popular when released. Hortense Ellis is another fixture on the Jamaican scene, having started her recording career on Mr. Dodd's N.D. Records label in 1963, hitting with "I'll Come Softly," her answer to Jimmy James and the Vagabonds "Come Softly to Me." In 1964 the Gleaner voted her the "Best Female Singer" and Sir Clifford Campbell, the Governor of Jamaica, awarded her the prize at the National Stadium. This was the same ceremony at which Millie Small won a prize for her hit "My Boy Lollipop." Hortense, whose brother is the legendary Alton Ellis, got her first break on Vere John's variety show, Opportunity Knocks, as did most other singers of the period. "Secretly" came from a session that also included Jackie Mittoo on piano, Benbow on drums, and Bagga Walker on bass. The chorus came from Alton who was always trying to help his sister while Hortense herself filled in the verses. For a selection of Hortense with her brother Alton, check Alton & Hortense Ellis, HB 64. After leaving Studio One, she recorded for a variety of producers including Bunny Lee. Hortense also appeared on stage with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, which led to another award in 1969. She enjoyed a big hit locally with her version of "Unexpected Places" done for producer Gussie Clark that again brought her into the limelight. She moved to New York in 1985 but has since returned to reside on the island. Although she has been quiet of late, she is still recording for Studio One, and this year appeared on the Jamaican "Best Of The Best" bill put on by Heineken Startime at the Countryside Club in Half Way Tree. A perennial favorite in Jamaica, Hortense has never quite captured the success that she seemed so destined for early in her career. It was amazing to go through the history of Studio One, to interview the singers and to come to realize yet again, just how rich the history of Studio One actually is. I asked Mr. Dodd what motivated him to record so many songs by such a variety of women. He replied, "By me, every different artist was a different person, a different voice. On the r&b circuit, being a sound operator, I dealt with a lot of hits by women. So there was a place. I put out a special effort to find a good female voice for the stable. With women, like any other artist, you try to mix and blend the voices to get the results. I treated all my artists as good as I could, and I tried hard with many of them as I heard something in the voice. They were all right and I wish them all the best. I'm so old fashioned that I believe we can't get anywhere if we don't give to receive." 1.
