Dawn Penn – You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)
Dawn Penn (born Dawn Pickering, 1952, Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae singer.
Dawn Penn’s earliest recordings were for Prince Buster around 1966. In
1967 she recorded and released the rocksteady single, “You Don’t Love
Me” produced by Coxsone Dodd at Studio One. She also recorded “Why Did
You Leave” at Studio One, “Broke My Heart” for Bunny Lee, “I Let You Go
Boy” and covers of “To Sir with Love” and “Here Comes the Sun”.
By 1970 Penn had left the music industry
and had moved to the Virgin Islands. In 1987, however, she returned to
Jamaica and to music.
In the summer of 1992 she was invited to
appear on stage at a Studio One anniversary show, where she performed
the song “You Don’t Love Me” with Steely & Clevie as backing
musicians. The performance was a success, and she returned to the
recording studio to re-record the song for the tribute album Steely
& Clevie Play Studio One Vintage. It was released as the single “You
Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)” over a year later, reaching the charts in
the U.S. and Europe, plus hitting #1 in her native Jamaica., and making
#3 in the UK Singles Chart. In 1994, Big Beat/Atlantic released No, No,
No, Penn’s first full-length album since her comeback.
Subsequently, “You Don’t Love Me (No, No,
No)” has been sampled and covered by the artists Kano, Hexstatic, Jae
Millz, Ghostface Killah, Mims, Eve featuring Stephen Marley and Rihanna.
Their versions were all renamed as “No, No, No”, bar Ghostface’s which
was named “New Splash”. The song was also performed by Blue King Brown
on the Australian youth radio network Triple J as part of their Like a
Version program in 2006. The US band 311 sampled the song in the
introduction to their song “Omaha Stylee”.
Penn performed with Faisal X at The Drum in Birmingham, England in April 2006 and, in the same year, Penn was on the bill at the Uppsala Reggae Festival in Sweden.
In 2011, Penn released a music video for the song “City Life,” directed by Antoine Dixon-Bellot.
