Sister Carol - Jah Disciple (1989)

Carol Theresa East (born 15 January 1959, Kingston, Jamaica), known by her stage name of Sister Carol, is a Jamaican-born American reggae recording artist and actress. She has used many other stage names, including Black Cinderella (also the name of her record label) and Mother Culture. After winning competitions in New York and Jamaica, she toured with The Meditations. Her first album, "Liberation for Africa," was released in 1983, as a limited edition on the Jamaican SG label. The 1984 album "Black Cinderella" established her. She formed her own record label, also called Black Cinderella. 

Sister Carol's album, "Jah Disciple", finally appeared in 1989, kicking off a streak of consistent recording activity that lasted through the '90s. 

Sister Carol emphasized truth and rights over sex and love on this session issued by Ras in 1989. She had harsh words for outer space exploration, internal African problems and rude boys who disrupt social affairs, while recalling an earlier, more enjoyable time on "Remember When" and calling for respect and dignity from an ignorant male on "A No Me Name Peggy." 

Her toasts were slower and paced differently than the rapid-fire dancehall mode; the arrangements and backing combined electronic and acoustic instrumentation, and there was more than a trace of vintage reggae in her style and sound.
