Miss Lou was everything. To me she was the first Dj even though that was not associated with her speeches and rhymes. The Greatest her time of bringing out the traditional roots from every aspect of the language.
miss lou was telling the world that jamaica is a friendly place with real people and dont be turned off by the aggressiveness of the language , it sound harsh but we are just talking , come to jamaica , learn the language ,learn the culture , its worth it , we are valuable, miss lou made jamaica famous to the world just like bob marley did with reggae , long live this legend ,gone in the flesh but spirit will live on for ever ,
A true Jamaican treasure, actress, story teller, poet, who taught us to be proud of our culture and language Patwa, and look at us today, we can chat Patwa proudly now, without someone say "shet up yu mout yu chat too bad" 🔥💯🇯🇲🎵❤️
big up from a londoner of a jamaican background this is pure gold i wish i had found this earlier in life what a thing to pass on to my american chidren bless up
Thank you Ms. Lou. Patoi never and has not been spoken your way. You were the best. Educated and intelligent. Rest in peace my motivator and influencer. Thank you for making me who I am today 😊! 🙏🇯🇲
Oh wow! My eyes are full of tears! That was soooooo funny and sooooo true! We definitely find a way when our back is against a wall - We honour you today Miss Lou RIP xxx
The legendary, inimitable Miss Lou! I will never forget the euphoric feeling I had when I was on Ring Ding at the feet of Miss Lou. The Rt. Hon. Dr. Louise Bennett- Coverley was a forerunner in bringing international recognition and respectability to our rich vibrant Jamaican culture, and to our first language, Patois, that was taken to a literary and artistic level. A fi wi langwij! A fi wi culture! Walk Good Miss Lou! We will preserve and promote what our African ancestors fought for, and gave to us as our heritage. Ai ya yaii!! Unu clap har!

It is an honor to appear before Miss Lou on Ring Ding!
