As a music lover, I really enjoy hearing stories about artists I've never heard of.
Around 1979-1981 in Nigeria she was as popular as Bob Marley. No cap
My late father from the Island Of Nevis, Loved Her Music. He would be hugging her album while playing the music, with my late Mom watching him with the side eyes. Great Music ! Phenomenal Singer..🙏🏾🙏🏾☀☀🎼🎼
She was best friend to my older sister. She was always at the house in Newport. We knew all the words to her songs. Super nice lady. ❤
I knew Sonya personally. She never taught my class, but she taught at my school, and was a friend. She sat on our sofa at home and sang for our family one night after a concert. It was magical; as a result I learned to play the guitar. she was a fun, and outgoing person with an infectious laughter. She actually taught Art and Agricultural Science at Cross Keys Secondary School: Now Cross Keys High School, in south Manchester, Jamaica. This is a fitting tribute to her!
Loved her and never forgot her voice...She was popular in St. Kitts in the older times...Leaving on a Jet Plane was a huge hit...
I love reading comments from various people living in African countries..😁

Thanks a lot. I appreciate this ✊
I remember Fantasy because it was one of the first songs I heard that got me into reggae music/lovers rock when I was 12 years old. Thanks for this video because I really knew very little about her and I can't say I hear her songs very often either.
She had a gentle, girlish emotional voice heavily based on renditions of popular music track. I only discovered about Seven years ago of her passing ❤ Sonya Spence's album Sonya Spence Sings Love of '81 rremains my favorite of all her releases..
when was small boy in jamaica the sound in my area allways play jat plane.and many other tune.her voice was big back in the days.✈
I knew her personally. She was a very nice person. Well spoken. R.I.P., Sonia Spence! ❤
So ya Spence was a wonderful gorgeous lady who made love so beautiful in her music...I enjoyed her music very much..May her beautiful soul continue to rest in peace ❤
I knew her very well and even went out with her a few times in the eighties.
I had to check out Jet Plane, I'm very glad to hear more of her now. Ty again RAS

The name of the barber was Chambers who was owner of The Thoroughbred Band. Chambers produced Sonia Spence’s first hit song, Jet Plane. She owned an ovation Electric Acoustic guitar. Sonia Spence was a friend of mine.

Heard that song when at a young age just know who sang it
Sonia was such a pleasant person. Sad how her life got overtaken by the 'white lady'
Its errol Thompson not brown.
Correct 💯 I don't know how Brown got in there somehow
@@ReggaeAppreciationSocietyyou are probably correct Ras. Errol Brown works with Miss Pottinger.
She had a child for Charlie Chaplin.
Her father was a pastor for plowden church of god. Where she was living the place look so mash up. Is like no one care about the place. Right up at rest store square. As any one knows anything about her children them ?.
I haven't seen Carlene around Mandeville in a long time
Reggae star?
