From Reggae Heartland video BLACK WOMAN Black Woman Black Woman Light me up Troubled long You trod one of life's roughest roads You got the heaviest load To be someone To belong Too near mile and a half furlong Don't give up now Just pray for strength now For you I dedicate my song We had forsaked once(?) In the plantation Lashes to our skin On auction blocks we were chained and sold Handled merchandise Highly abused and used for refuse (?) And thrown in garbage bins But no need for that now Free us, stand on back now And help me to sing my song When you're fighting stand up for the right thing And not that which is wrong I heard Rachel mourning for her children When Herod and Pharaoh took their little heads But just like Mary and Joseph Mother of Moses too Overcame its evil devices I dedicate my song for you Black woman Black woman I know you've struggled long I feel your afflictions To you I dedicate my song. + Informações

The performance had taken place close to the day when it was reported in the local press that Haile Selassie had died - on August 27, 1975. This, remembers Judy Mowatt, was a very sad, cold day in Jamaica. Some immediately lost their faith. But many more clung on, knowing that this was a false message the Bible had predicted. "We were not afraid. We knew that it was not true. We knew that He had the power to disappear," Judy Mowatt said. Soon after Rita Marley's daughter Sharon ran up to Bob Marley: "Is it true? Jah is dead?" Bob Marley denied it. A few days later he recorded "Jah Live," one of his most beautiful songs, in answer to Sharon's question. As soon as the recording was completed it was rush-released as a single in Jamaica. In 1978 she teamed up with Freddie McGregor to produce the critically acclaimed "Black Woman."
