  • In 1985, Sophia George emerged on the world stage courtesy of her smash debut single "Girlie Girlie". A song that topped the Jamaican charts for eleven weeks and also charted internationally. She seemed set to enjoy a huge career but dropped out of sight after a few years

    I was the drummer of her debut tour, with PROFESSOR LARRY on bass and MALORY WILLIAMS on keyboard, BUBBLERS and TONY from RUFF-CUTT, and I RAS LEROY HOLMES on drums.She was a force-of- nature and a ray of sunshine who deserves ALL the blessings of JAH, I’m glad to see her and CHUNGIE endured. RASPECT in EVERY ASPECT!!🇯🇲🎶👏🏿

    The people in Guyana 🇬🇾 play this tune none stop when I was growing up.
    One of the best 80s song that stood the test of time.
    I still run this one on a regular.
    I love the fact that this song spun many variations of girlie girlie tunes.

    Yay!!! My childhood ❤❤❤❤❤ I lost it when I first heard this again in the U.S. Took me back to being a little Ghanaian-Nigerian girl in Nigeria. We used to rewind to catch the lyrics and LOVED the video. We screamed when we heard our countries mentioned as where this Girlie Girlie young man/gyalist had girlfriends 😂

    Yes Girlie Girlie was a smash back then. Everbody loved it. Unfortunately female reggae artists besides a few have hardly even being examples of longevity..June Lodge ranks top among them in the 80s in that regard.. It's no secret though that staying 3 years (back in the days) without releasing new material in the competitive reggae almost always has its consequences ..
