Doris Darlington
Doris Darlington, a Jamaican Maroon woman, was nicknamed "Nanny," after the famed female leader Nanny of the Maroons, Darlington owned a food shop, later a liquor store in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1950s and 60s. This site provided the initial space for her son, Coxsone Dodd to begin playing music for customers, a practice that eventually led to him founding Studio One and becoming one of the island's key musical forces. When her son was away buying records to play on the sound system, Darlington set up and ran the sound system herself, and thus can be named one of Jamaica's first sound system operators, and a force in the development of ska, rocksteady and reggae music. Darlington also ran a record store in Jamaica, was often present at Studio One recording studios and involved in producing music in the early 1960s.
==Biography==
Born in Jamaica (probably) in the 1930s, Darlington was a descendent of the Jamaican Maroons, who were communities descended from escaped Africans who fought for and established free communities in the Jamaican interior. In the 1950s she owned a food shop whose customers were interested in hearing the latest R&B tunes from the US. Her son Clement "Coxsone" Dodd began to meet this need with a turntable, an amplified sound system and a collection of records, and eventually the space expanded into a bar with a canteen in the back at which Darlington would cook. However, whenever Dodd went on trips to purchase music, he would leave Nanny in charge of the show, running the technical and creative side of the Downbeat sound system. Dodd later said of her contribution to music that "She is the founding mother of everything, for without her nothing would’ve happened."〔Heather Augustyn. Songbirds – Pioneering Women in Jamaican Music. Half Pint Press 2014〕 Dodd also named one of his sublabels D. Darling after her.〔David Katz People Funny Boy p. 37〕
Darlington also ran the record store Music Land 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Songbirds – Pioneering Women in Jamaican Music' )〕 in Spanish Town, Jamaica. (Some sources describe her as running a record store called Muzik City,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Studio One (Soul Jazz Records) )〕 which is also associated with Coxsone Dodd 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An Orange Street Remembrance – Tallawah )〕 ).
