Sister Nancy, aka Muma Nancy, real name Ophlin Russell-Myers, (born Ophlin Russell on 2 January 1962) is a dancehallDJ and singer. She is known to the world as the first female dancehall DJ and was described as being a "dominating female voice for over two decades" on the dancehall scene. One of her most famous songs is "Bam Bam", labeled as a "well-known reggae anthem" by BBC and a "classic" by The Observer.
Career
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Russell-Myers was one of 15 siblings. Her elder brother, Robert, is better known as Brigadier Jerry, and by her mid-teens, she would occasionally perform on the Twelve Tribes of Israel soundsystem Jahlovemuziksound system that she worked with, and worked for three years on the Stereophonic sound system with General Echo. In 1980, producer Winston Riley was the first to take her into the studio, resulting in her first single, "Papa Dean" for his Techniques label. Russell-Myers went on to perform at Reggae Sunsplash, making her the first female deejay ever to perform there, and she is also the first female Jamaican deejay to tour internationally. She had further success with singles such as "One Two", "Money Can't Buy Me Love", "Transport Connection" and "Bam Bam". Her debut album, One Two was released in 1982. She went on to work with producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes, recording "A No Any Man Can Test Sister Nancy", "Bang Belly", and a collaboration with Yellowman, "Jah Mek Us Fe A Purpose". She continued to appear live, sometimes on Jahlove Music with her brother. The sound system toured internationally, with both Sister Nancy and Brigadier Jerry making their debut UK performances at the Brixton Town Hall, London in 1982.

Sister Nancy - Bam Bam (Music Video)
I made this video using footage of Sister Nancy at an early performance in Jamaica as well as a variety of film shots in and around Kingston, Jamaica in 1981 and 1982. I also spattered some early Dance Hall footage from the late 1970s. I then synced everything up to a digital recording producing the end result.
Sister Nancy was an early Dance Hall pioneer who did her take on Toots & the Maytals original version of the song Bam Bam. The song didn't really gain popularity or notoriety until much later when it appeared in commercials and a spot in the movie "The Interview".
