Why Candy McKenzie, Joy Tulloch, Yvonne McKenzie, Sharon Tucker, Aura Memang, Judy Mowatt and Anicia Banks as female backing singers didn't actually sing backup behind Gregory Isaacs on "Hot Stepper" from his album, "Night Nurse", released in 1982

  It is possible that female backing singers Candy McKenzie , Joy Tulloch , Yvonne McKenzie , Sharon Tucker , Aura Memang , Judy Mowatt and Anicia Banks from both UK and Jamaica were not available at the time of the recording of "Hot Stepper" , or that Gregory Isaacs chose not to use them. It is also possible that the female backing singers were not credited on the album for some unknown reason. The reason why these female backing singers were not invited to sing backup behind Gregory Isaacs on "Hot Stepper" from his album, "Night Nurse" , released in 1982 is likely because the song was recorded prior to their involvement as backing singers.

Furthermore, the visuals would be more vibrant and colorful, and the music video would have a unique American style to it. This would be a great contrast to the unmodified clouds music video that was done in a British style.

 The I-Threes , consisting of Judy Mowatt , Marcia Griffiths , and Rita Marley , were known for their incredible vocal harmonies and their contributions to Bob Marley 's music.  However, they did not sing backup behind Gregory Isaacs on his song "Material Man" from his 1982 album, "Night Nurse." There are several reasons why this collaboration did not take place. Firstly, it is important to note that the I-Threes primarily worked with Bob Marley and the Wailers , providing backing vocals for their iconic reggae sound. While they occasionally collaborated with other artists, their main focus was supporting Bob Marley's music and spreading his message of love, unity, and social change. Secondly, Gregory Isaacs had his own unique style and sound, often referred to as the "Cool Ruler." His smooth and soulful voice, combined with his romantic lyrics, made him a beloved figure in the reggae genre. While the I-Threes were undoubtedly talented, their vo
