==Early music career==
At the age of six, Barry and her family emigrated from Jamaica to Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. After graduation from high school, Barry left for London where she eventually landed a role in the musical ''AC/DC'' by Heathcote Williams and after that in a German production of ''Catch My Soul''. The play toured Europe where she eventually wound up in West Germany in the spring of 1975. That same year she signed with Hot Foot label and released a single called "Reggae Bump". It was released in Canada under the Hansa label.
Barry had some success with her recordings. She had two ''Billboard'' Hot 100 entries, the first being "Dancin' Fever" which peaked at No. 72, off ''The Girl Most Likely'' album, the other song being "Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" (R&B No. 37, Pop No. 56 in 1979) from the album ''I Wanna Be Loved By You'', released in 1978. Both became major mainstream pop hits in Canada (where "Dancin' Shoes" peaked at No. 7 on the ''RPM 100'' national chart on April 7, 1979 and remained on the chart for 23 weeks)〔http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?brws_s=1&file_num=nlc008388.4520a&type=1&interval=24&PHPSESSID=s607l5eet9b235712b5nmn4im6〕 as well as in Europe.
