    I was the drummer of her debut tour, with PROFESSOR LARRY on bass and MALORY WILLIAMS on keyboard, BUBBLERS and TONY from RUFF-CUTT, and I RAS LEROY HOLMES on drums.She was a force-of- nature and a ray of sunshine who deserves ALL the blessings of JAH, I’m glad to see her and CHUNGIE endured. RASPECT in EVERY ASPECT!!🇯🇲🎶👏🏿

    The people in Guyana 🇬🇾 play this tune none stop when I was growing up.
    One of the best 80s song that stood the test of time.
    I still run this one on a regular.
    I love the fact that this song spun many variations of girlie girlie tunes.

    This was amazing because my Mom and Dad grew up loving the Girlie Girlie song. My Dad still owns the record till this day and I would often spin that record every now and then. It seems like Sophia George was too wholesome for the spotlight, so I wasn't surprised to see her drop her music career to raise her family. It was good to know that she is doing well after wondering what happen to her after all those years after the Girlie Girlie hit song.

    Yes Girlie Girlie was a smash back then. Everbody loved it. Unfortunately female reggae artists besides a few have hardly even being examples of longevity..June Lodge ranks top among them in the 80s in that regard.. It's no secret though that staying 3 years (back in the days) without releasing new material in the competitive reggae almost always has its consequences ..
