Susan Cadogan is a Reggae & Rocksteady singer from Kingston, Jamaica. With a delicate voice that shimmers between childlike innocence and smoldering sexuality, Susan Cadogan's vocals were the perfect expression of lover's rock. Susan Cadogan talents as a singer led to her recording her first single, Love My Life for Jamaican Broadcasting Corporation (JBC radio) DJ Jerry Lewis.
Lee "Scratch" Perry was in the recording studio at the time and was impressed by Cadogan's voice enough to record an album's worth of material with her, also renaming her Susan. One of her first recordings for Perry, a cover of Millie Jackson's soul hit, Hurt So Good (featuring bassist Boris Gardiner), was released was released in the UK by Dennis Harris' DIP International label, and topped the UK reggae chart and went on to reach No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart which resulted in Cadogan flying to London to promote the single, including many television appearances on the BBC's Top of the Pops.
