Fab 5 - Jamaican Woman

The reggae song, recorded in 1987, is a lyrical parish by parish tour of Jamaica and its women, starting with St Andrew, going east to St Thomas and continuing counter-clockwise until it ends up where it started.
And regardless of the travels, the song returns to:
"Jamaican woman a sugar and salt
Some a dem a ginnal an' will make you bawl"
"It was a mento song, Jamaican woman a sugar and salt. He (the mento lyricist) had his own take on what the ladies in each parish represented," Cooper said.
In 1987, two to three years after Fab Five started recording soca, Cooper "figured it was a good song to recut. But I put in my own findings, being all over the island over the years and coming into contact with the ladies". He also adjusted the melody. It was a good decision, Jamaican Woman making quick work of hitting the top spot on the charts
