Granny's Inspiration hits number 1 on Roots 96.1 FM in Kingston, Jamaica

"Singing granny has hit song in Jamaica

Maud Fraser, 73, wrote her first song two years ago, which recently went on to top the charts at a radio station in Jamaica.


Grief affects people in different ways.

Maud Fraser said she couldn't even get out of bed after losing James, her husband of 34 years, in August 2005.

But the 73-year-old was determined to feel alive again, so she picked up a pen and paper and started writing.

The result was Granny's Inspiration, a song about following your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.

'It was like my husband was telling me to do some writing, even though he wasn't here, because he always worried about me being happy and loved me,' she said. 'My husband was one of the best people in the world. Doing something positive when you lose a loved one is the best medication.'

A reggae version of the song recorded by Fraser hit number 1 on Roots 96.1 FM in Kingston, Jamaica in February, also receiving regular play on other stations on the island."

Bob Marley to be honoured by Ghanaian Government - Peppa Pot Maga-Zeen: "Bob Marley to be honoured by Ghanaian Government

'I am a proud African, proud of my land, proud of my people, committed to making the third millennium the African millennium.'

Bob Marley has been specially selected to be honoured by the Government of Ghana 'Akwaaba Anyemi Programme' under the 'The Joseph Project'. His widow, Mrs Rita Marley has been invited to collect the award at the launch of The Joseph Project on Saturday, July 21 to Sunday, August 12 in Accra, Ghana.

Bob Marley was selected by a nominating committee of Africans, who have similarly excelled in their own fields, and thought it important to honour him. The purpose of The Joseph Project is to change the '21st Century' into the 'African Century'."
