_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [D#] In this episode of Mr.
[C#] Grimes' Silly [G#] Legends _ we [D#] spotlight the [A#m] songbird of Jamaica, [F#] Sister
Judy Mowat.
_ [C#] _ Judy Mowat started her career in the _ 1960s with [G#] the popular female [C#] group
the Gaylets. _
[D] _ _ [C#] By the _ [G#] 1970s Bob Marley recruited [A#m] her to be one [A] third of the female backing
vocal group [E] the I3s who toured with him and the Wailers, _ _ alongside [Bm] Marcia [G] Griffiths and
[A] Rita [D] Marley.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] After Bob [F#m] Marley's passing [Bm] she went on to establish [Em] an outstanding solo [D] career
with a host of chart [F#m] topping albums _ [E] including the critically acclaimed album Black [C] Woman.
_ She was the [Em] first Jamaican female artist [Dm] to be nominated for a [G] Grammy.
_ _ [C] Judy Mowat converted
to [Em] Christianity in the mid _ [Dm] _ 1990s and [G] subsequently began her [C] gospel music career.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] She is still
recording in [G] the studio _ _ [C] and [Em] Judy Mowat is presently active [Dm] as organizer [G] in various [C] charitable
organizations in [Em] Jamaica.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ A star [C] has been born [D#] every second [E] of the day in Jamaica.
_ _ [D] But I don't think the [D#] female singers
have been given their due. _
There are so many talented women in the music business.
_ _ _ In [A] the
1960s _ 1970s as I said [C#m] before the male [D] and female shared the stage equally.
_ They shared
the [F#] recording, [G] _
[C#] fame or whatever came out of it they were able to share it equally, the
[G#] air plays everything they [D#] got.
But in the revolutionary period of the 70s _ when Bob Marley
[G] Peter Tosh, _ _ [A#] Boniwella took the stage, [A#m] Burning Spear [D] took the stage and started to sing _ revolutionary
[E] music.
Prior to that it was [C#] the romantic [E] era where [C#] we sang about I love [A#] you.
But [C] when the
brothers started to get very [N] militant there were not much sisters who were alongside them.
_ So internationally the music was recognized as a male dominated music which was not really
so.
But then I recognized that God Maho called me for a special purpose because I was one
out of many who stood alongside those brethren.
The first [D] _ videotaping of musical videotaping
that came out [C#] of Jamaica with Peter, Jacob Miller, Bob Marley [N] I was alongside it with
the song called Black Woman.
_ So then you have a lot of female singers who were recording.
They were not given _ _ _ the _ opportunities as the brothers. _
[F#] But today we [F] see _ [C#] that [C] the female
are working so hard.
We look at [N] Nadine Sutherland, we look at Diana King, _ we look at Patra. _
Although
some of it is not really. _ _ _ _
We as Jamaicans would expect them to go out there and demonstrate
but it's [F] still the female singer on the international market.
And we are looking [E] forward to a lot
more because as I said there are a lot of [D] sisters standing in the wings, talented sisters
and they are just waiting.
We need the recording industry.
Not only the Jamaican recording
industry but we [B] need the international [C#] recording industry to _ market these sisters.
[B] And that
is what is lacking because you [G#] have the companies are signing the male artists [A] but they are
not [G] signing the sisters [Dm] and we are still [F#] awaiting that.
