“I’d always dreamed about going to Britain” Soon after, Small decamped to England, with Blackwell becoming her manager and legal guardian in 1963. The producer was searching for local talent for his fledgling Island Records, label and persuaded Dodd that he could launch Small’s career if he managed her. Both songs became local hits and brought her to the attention of Blackwell. The song was released under Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One record label. She quickly followed it up with the ska single, ‘We’ll Meet’, this time pairing up with Roy Panton.
She recorded her first song, ‘Sugar Plum’, as a duet with Owen Gray at Federal Recording studios in Kingston in 1962. Small decided to move to Kingston and continue her singing career in earnest.
