Her 1967 rendition of \u201cThe First Cut Is The Deepest\u201d remains a fan favorite all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norma and Junor are friends, and their bond certainly comes across in this interview. Norma talks about: her duets with Lord Creator, Slim Smith, Lord Brynner and Ken Boothe; working with Lynn Taitt and The Sheiks; her deep history with Roland Alphonso, The Skatalites and Studio One; her friendship with Dwight Pickney, Rita Marley and Bob Marley; living to Oregon; working with The Bandulus; the importance of staying socially conscious; and so much more. It was a really special interview from start to finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Podcast available on Spotify<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Episode 24: Norma Fraser (Jamaican music legend)\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/4Vr7hCuR7nsPGXbxFzPICF?si=JTIaOgFZQ5qDDeYZpgQmwQ&#038;dl_branch=1&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NORMA FRASER BBC RADIO AIRPLAY History of LA Ska: One On One Sessions &#8211; Ep 24 with Norma Fraser (Jamaican music legend) For our 24th episode of the HISTORY OF LA SKA: ONE ON ONE SESSIONS, host JUNOR FRANCIS spoke with Jamaican music legend, NORMA FRASER, whose singing career began\u2026<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/news\/\"><span>Continue reading<\/span><i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-onecolumn.php","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-509","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":556,"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/509\/revisions\/556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/normafraser.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
