Susan Cadogan

Susan Cadogan (born Allison Anne Cadogan ; 2 November 1951) is a Jamaican reggae singer best known for her hit records in the mid 1970s.

Biography Cadogan is the daughter of Rev. Claude Cadogan and Lola Cadogan, a trained soprano singer of classical and devotional music during the 1950s up until 2000. Lee "Scratch" Perry was in the recording studio at the time, and was impressed by Cadogan's voice enough to record an album's worth of material with her, also renaming her Susan. and it went on to reach No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart, with Cadogan flying to London to promote the single, including many television appearances on the BBC's Top of the Pops. She has toured together with Glen Adams and The Slackers as well as with the Portuguese band The Ratazanas, and with the Debonaires (of California), the Magic Touch (Germany) and more recently with The Magnetics (Italy).

In 2016, she released a five-song EP, Take Me Back, produced by the Canadian Mitch Girio, followed by the complete album The Girl Who Cried and in 2017 released a reggae version of "Love Story", a duet with Jamaican veteran Ken Boothe.

Cadogan continues to appear regularly in the UK, at festivals and other events.
