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.
