Was a singer and actress who experienced short-lived fame in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s.A "tall, exotic creature with a powerful, bluesy voice,"[1] she identified herself during her American heyday as hailing from India, but earlier newspaper references identified her as Jamaican. A 1954 edition of the Kingston, Jamaica, The Gleaner called her a "'Jamaican 'enchantress of song.'"[2]Sani once claimed to have been born in Panama, to have grown up in India, to have been educated in Europe, and to have served as an airplane mechanic in England during World War II because she was too young to become a female pilot.[3] Whether some of this information is merely show-business hype is unknown. However, the Kingston Gleaner did note in 1943 that Sani — who was already known in Jamaica as a singer — was "going to England shortly . . . to join the W.A.A.F.S." (This article also listed her as "the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Sani of 10, Lundford Road, St. Andrew," Jamaica.)[4]
