Mallory Williams “Boom She Boom” (1986)

@LeoOReggio
Rarely seen in many years, here is the video of the very popular “Boom She Boom” by Mallory Williams. I am dedicating this video post to the late Pansy Boswell, who admirably played Poochie Lou.
According to The Gleaner, “In his 1986 song She Boom, Mallory Williams sings about a woman called ‘Poochie Lou’, whose dancing sets the Rae Town Sunday night oldies session alight, so much so that “dem tun off de soun’ fi she sekkle down/Coulden sekkle down she come fi mash up de town”.
In choosing Rae Town as the location for the scenario he sang about as well as the video, Williams said: “It was the most popular place at the time. I used to go there on a Sunday night.” Of course, he saw people dancing there and She Boom fit well, being in the space, helping the song to come together. He did not plan to sing She Boom himself intending to pitch it to Sophia George. Before doing so, he sang it to a friend, who told Williams, it is “your song”.
