Credit JBC FM Radio Station on the little island of Jamaica and the very talented and knowledgeable DJs that worked there. Their ability to introduce and play these types of music has had a lasting impact on me and others I'm sure.
The tradition continues with Kool97FM that streams live on Mixlr. Excellent music from all genres but mainly 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. One of their mission statements is “ Big People Music!” . From tge signed on their test broadcast 21+ years ago, none of my radio dials have moved anywhere else. Even after I moved to Canada!!
Earlier today I was in my coworker's car listening to Kool 97 and this was playing. I told her my older sisters used to listen to this song and others back in the day. I was recalling JBC Fm blessing us with great music back then.
It sounded like a Kashif production but was actually produced a lady called Lala. Lala also released 2 albums and was one of the very few female producers in the music industry at the time alongside Angela Wimbush. My name is Genie and I am a radio host from that time. And just about to set up an online radio station playing music like this. It will be called Insignia Radio. January 2024. @@african-history-fountain
