@@jonc9799 the original song is bam bam from Toots and the maytals (which she sampled)
@laabitres
Sister Nancy created one of the most legendary songs of all time.
@WalterDrayton
She covered an old 1966 song by Toots and the Maytals, she did not write it and, outside of concerts, has made little or no money off of it. When it is sampled Toots Hibbert gets paid , It was his original hit song.
