Reflecting on her enduring career and her unexpected viral moment earlier this year when she wowed social media with a heartfelt performance at her niece’s wedding, Sister Nancy told Observer Online, “Young people always love Sister Nancy. When I perform, it’s always young people…I’ve been here from 1976…Don’t you hear me seh ain’t no stopping Nancy? I mean that.”
Known for her timeless hit Bam Bam, she told journalists she didn’t expect to still be performing at 64 but counts it as a blessing.
