I knew her personally. She was a very nice person. Well spoken. R.I.P., Sonia Spence! ❤
She was best friend to my older sister. She was always at the house in Newport. We knew all the words to her songs. Super nice lady. ❤
The Queen of lovers Rock…..
The Great Sonya Spence .I will forever be grateful to her music 🎶 and voice.
The name of the barber was Chambers who was owner of The Thoroughbred Band. Chambers produced Sonia Spence’s first hit song, Jet Plane. She owned an ovation Electric Acoustic guitar. Sonia Spence was a friend of mine.
I knew her very well and even went out with her a few times in the eighties.
Reggae star?
Lol
I remember Fantasy because it was one of the first songs I heard that got me into reggae music/lovers rock when I was 12 years old. Thanks for this video because I really knew very little about her and I can't say I hear her songs very often either.
My mom loved her..🇬🇾
Much appreciation for this. 'Talk love' is still in rotation here.
Can you do PABLO MOSES next.
Thank you.
REALLY SAD STORY for such a TALENTED Singer
👏👏👏💞thank you for your works
In her later years she would be regularly seen in Mandeville. She was ill for a while.
Now we know. Jet Plane
Great video my brother u r a black man right if u r big up to u if you r not f u
She had a gentle, girlish emotional voice heavily based on renditions of popular music track. I only discovered about Seven years ago of her passing ❤ Sonya Spence's album Sonya Spence Sings Love of '81 rremains my favorite of all her releases..
My late father from the Island Of Nevis, Loved Her Music. He would be hugging her album while playing the music, with my late Mom watching him with the side eyes. Great Music ! Phenomenal Singer..🙏🏾🙏🏾☀☀🎼🎼
Loved her and never forgot her voice…She was popular in St. Kitts in the older times…Leaving on a Jet Plane was a huge hit…
