Twenty-seven years after she and Studio One producer Coxsone Dodd reworked an old American blues tune into a big Jamaican hit called “You Don’t Love Me (No No No),” a remade version of the song became an even bigger smash for the Kingston native. It was the kind of success many had predicted for Penn at the beginning of her career, which also included Studio One hits like a reggae cover of Lulu’s “To Sir With Love.” But in 1970, just as she appeared to be getting off the ground, Penn left the music business, moving to the Virgin Islands and taking a series of day jobs to support herself. It wasn’t until the late 1980s that she decided to try picking up her career where she’d left off, but her comeback languished until she hooked up with hot dancehall producers Steely and Clevie a few years later. They helmed a faithful cover of “No No No” for Penn that topped charts globally and was even featured in a Nissan ad in Europe. It also led to an American deal with Big Beat/Atlantic, which released Penn’s long-belated U.S. debut album ,“No No No,” in 1994.     Dawn Penn No No No (feat. Bounty Killer) WinMedia Reggae Is “No No No” one of the best -- and unlikeliest -- reggae crossover hits of the past decade? Yes Yes Yes!
