Studio One women vol. 2 : the original

"Female singers were afforded few opportunities in Kingston, JA but when they did get in front of the mike, they made it count. At Studio One, Marcia Griffiths was queen, and three of the 18 tracks collected on this cherry pick of Clement Dodd's reggae sisters are hers ... Other big names included are Hortense Ellis and Jennifer Lara. Both deeply soulful, the latter successfully remakes Pete Seeger's "Turn! Turn! Turn!" as rub-a-dub; the former delivers Tyrone Davis's "Can I Change My Mind" in an early-reggae style. Obscurities, meanwhile, include Nana McLean's enchanting cover of the Everly Brothers' "'Til I Kissed You"".
