    Nancy is correct. Bam Bam was popular outside Jamaica. One of the best classic. Nancy had one of the best dancehall voice.

      She owns (her rendition) of Bam Bam, but I noticed she didn't mention about the ORIGINAL, performed about 20 years earlier by Toot and the Maytals. I was hoping to hear her talk about it on this video...
      I wonder what her recollection of that is, and how it may have inspired her interpretation of the song. Modern music usually goes much deeper in history than we are aware of, and it's important for artists to give credit where credit is due.

    Greetings.
    Wow, Sister Nancy was well before my time but her hit What A Bam Bam is timeless. When I heard Bam Bam on an Airbnb ad recently I got so excited - Big congrats!!!
    And wouldn't you agree that most of the new so called Reggae that is being released today is just noise/garbage......truth be told, it's not Reggae! They think they can use social media to fool the people but we know quality and authentic Reggae when we hear it. The current set of Jamaican Reggae/dancehall musicians need to eat humble pie or patty and invest time into mastering their musical craft then the rewards will follow. Substance over hype always. Respect and congrats to Sister Nancy 👍
