midnightraverbl... for rare reggae and downloads. Puma Jones last known radio interview by American reggae DJ Doug Wendt on Midnight Dread radio. Entire interview available for purchase at www.midnightdread.com.
I went to school with her at Columbia and when she boarded the plane for Jamaica, we had no idea she would be such an icon. She was a dear friend. I truly miss her. #OneLovePuma Miss you, girl.
Saw her on a record cover in the early eighties when i got heavily into roots reggae and fell in love with her.Itwas hard back in those days to get pictures or news about bands and artists we liked, so when I got a Black Uhuru poster, I was really exited. I learned quite late, that she passed away and it made me so sad ..I adored her so much and still do ...bless her soul. Peace out from Germany.
Saw Black Uhuru in 1981 at the Rainbow Theatre in London. The line up was Michael, Puma & Duckie, they were awesome, best reggae band i've ever seen. RIP Puma ✌🏿🖤🙏🏿💫🎼❤
RIP Puma. I got hooked to these guys, Black Uhuru in 1984 as i debuted college and the memory has stuck since. I kind of fell in love with Puma's melancholic back up voice which to me is the real signature of Black Uhuru if you will...
Since I was a yout man of 8 or 9 years old I found something mystifying about the sound of the GREAT black uhuru ...and it wasn't until I grew a little older o was actually able to separate and isolate the hauntingly beautiful and effortless vocal of Queen Puma, may your soul rest in eternal peace , your contribution to the art of reggae music is solidified within the very history of it !
I think somewhere inside of me I'm obsessed with this woman! What a mystical Goddess! There's so much we didn't get to know about her. She escaped NY and lived an amazing life!
I love how she kept much of her southern accent. I also love how she considered her move from NYC to be "escaping from New York." In the USA many of us from the south can relate to that. So proud of her!
She would have loved that *the crush). She was a Libra, very spiritual, very mystical and fun loving. Oh, the parties she would take us to when we were in grad school. Parties in beautiful, huge apartments in Harlem where jazz ensembles would play. She was a very wise sage. I'm blessed to have known her as a colleague and friend. She was a deep sister.
She was a true inspiration and her work speaks volumes!!! We need more artists like her in todays music scene, cause to be honest superstars like Rihana or Kanye west, just don't offer much in regards to awaking people's consciousness through music....
Wow. Thank you for providing terrific viewing. A social worker in NYC with a masters from Columbia. I just minutes ago listened to my first Black Uhuru record and after it was over watched this video. I don't listen to reggae often at all but the floodgates have opened. I Have always wanted to listen to Eek a Mouse
Just hearing her voice after the fact brings me tears! Puma Jones I will always love and wish to of married and multiplied! Black Uhuru top greatest TRIO EVER!
Fierce and Gracious. 1982 Paris, the Olympia, Album Chill Out, this gig changed my Life FOREVER. Thanks Black Uhuru. Love Puma Jones... "Emotional Slaughter" one of my top ten song playing in the Background, Bliss...
Hey, i'm really enjoying that amazing radio interview with the lovely Puma Jones from the Reggaeband (Black Uhuru) do you please can uploading the full interview? I wanna hear more of her beautiful voice hahaha
Michael Rose was the voice of Black Uhuru, Duckie the heart and Puma, the soul. Never been the same without Puma. It really hurts that she passed on at such a tender age. Miss her so...
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
thanks a lot. in this interview, she told about some track she was writing that time; I wish she could recorded those tunes. the only one she recorded was "city vibes", from brutal. What an amazing track!
she seemed to blend in because we share the same blood i dont see any difference i also thought she had to be jamaican to even sing in a hardcore reggae band she was very strong willed
I also thought she was Jamaican. It just goes to show that reggae music comes from the heart & soul and not always from where you’re born. I saw them in 1985/86 in Ann Arbor Michigan. It was wonderful !!!
You kind of soul is welcome to help rebuild earth in you next reincarnation in the 31st century. Gone but never will be forgotten. Looking forward to see you in this incarnation or maybe my next.
YEA I GUESS THIS WAS JUST POSTED CAUSE IM THE ONLY ONE COMMENTING ON SUCH A FANTASTIC WOMAN?????? WELL I GUESS I WILL PROUDLY HOLD THE HONOR OF MY SISTER MEMORIES
According to wikipedia, after her passing away, "She was later buried near her family home in South Carolina." Beyond that, I'm afraid I don't know. (If I weren't far away in California, I would have already tried to do this.) There may still be grave-finding websites -- I'll go check, if I find out I'll come back and let you know.
This is probably true. Her father was from South Carolina. Her mother was a beautician in NY and died of breast cancer. Sadly, Puma passed from the same thing. She was very proud of her South Carolina roots.
Totally agree she doesn't get enough respect listen to Duckie ~Simpson his interview recently right here on youtube tells just how she was treated in the end its truly shocking, more light should be shed on how the great woman such a talent, was in the end disrespected and left broken great shame. No mention of her writing for the band either she was truly one of a kind.
What amaze is how Puma Jones predicted the 31st centry talking about destruction and struggles is exactly what's going right now in the 21st centry just imagine 31st centry... RIP sistren
Listen to the words of prophecy from our late great beautiful melanin queen 👑#PUMAJONES rise with our ankhcestors great 1 love yah forever Selah🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🙏
