With over 180 vocal samples, the track, originally released in 1982, itself samples T***s And The Maytals' song of the same name and was added to Nancy's debut album 'One, Two'. The 2017 Jay-Z song 'Bam' featuring Damian Marley features Nancy’s vocals and it has bene certified Gold in the US for selling 500,000 units in streams and sales. Directed by Alison Duke and produced by Duke and Ngardy Conteh George, 𝗕𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝗮𝗺: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 delves into Nancy’s journey in the music industry as she fought for 34 years to reclaim rights to a song that became bigger than she was as an artist.
