OLDIES SUNDAY: Sister Charmaine – No Disrespect (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection is dedicated to Dancehall Artist Sister Charmaine who passed away on January 5, 2021. Before the many prominent Queens of Dancehall, Sister Charmaine was one who held that title proudly. Today we go back in time to check out “No Disrespect“.

Released through Leggo Records in 1990, Sister Charmaine did plenty name dropping on this one as she shares the difficulty in catching a break in music. In a rather humorous way, she calls upon artists like Papa San, Admiral Bailey, General Trees, Little Lenny, Professor Nuts, Lt. Stitchie, Flourgon, Ninja Man, and many more for assistance in making her career as successful as theirs. From borrowing a Benz, to performing Obeah, to learning certain songs and moves, Sister Charmaine believes these were some of the methods her fellow artists used in getting a “buss“. The song was not made to disrespect the many artists mentioned, but to give her audience something to laugh about, and showcase her versatility. The song was featured on the “Live And Kickin’” compilation in 1990. A song we believed took a cue from “No Disrespect” was Ce’cile’s 2000 single, “Changez” where she called out male deejays, but for a rather different topic.

Walk Good Sister Charmaine!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Claudelle Clarke – I Saw The Light (1979)

Posted on by swadedavillain

With 2020 being a year filled with crazy events, it’s only right we start our first Oldies Sunday of 2021 on a Gospel note. Today’s selection comes from Gospel Music Icon Claudelle Clarke with the track, “I Saw The Light“.

Produced/Arranged by Alvin Ranglin and released through GG’s Records in 1979, this was a cover of “The King Of Country Music” Hank Williams Sr.’s 1948 single. The song speaks of a backslider who looks back at the many things they have done before they see the light of God, and expresses how they feel after being saved. Before Claudelle Clarke’s version, “I Saw The Light” was already a Country Gospel standard, and was covered by the likes of Country Music Pioneer Ernest Tubb, Music Icon Pat Boone, Country Music Icon Willie Nelson, and many others. Claudelle Clarke’s version stood the test of time for being one of the best Jamaican Gospel songs ever made, and is still touching hearts to this day. The single was featured on Clarke’s 1979 album, “God Is A Mountain“.

Jamaican Creative Ma’neen enters 2021 in a big way. After giving people his debut “Nanny Bag Pt. 2” in 2019, he followed up with “Roots & Glam” before the end of 2020. His next move is definitely his best one yet as he unleashes “Nanny Bag Pt. 1” in the form of a Visual EP.

Directed by Ma’neen, Cesar Buelto, and Toni-Ann Davy, “Nanny Bag Pt. 1” follows the adventures of Ma’neen who lives in a parody universe where he’s quite the ladies man, a budding Musician, and a skillful Entrepreneur. When he’s not hustling, he’s making moves with the ladies, and in the 3 chapters to this experience, we see how he gets things done. The Visual EP plays on the themes, “The Hustle“, “Self Discovery“, and “Love and Loss“, and features the aforementioned “Roots & Glam” (which plays a big role in his hustle) and “Nanny Bag Pt. 2” along with “For Tonight“. The Visual features quite a few talented individuals and familiar faces, and promises to keep you well entertained from start to finish. We urge you check out this one.
