Nora Dean was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica (1944). Away from her solo career, she was a band member of “The Soul Sisters” and “The Soulettes”. She later moved to America, where she concentrated on Gospel Music.
She released “Barbwire” originally in 1969 (on the labels “Baron's” (Jamaica) and “Camel” (UK)), but subsequently re-recorded varying versions on different labels. According to the Discogs Nora Dean Mini-biography – despite her single “Barbwire”, selling over 13 million copies, Nora Dean was only paid a grand total of 30 pounds. “This is a situation that is known all too well by Jamaican recording artists.” - Discogs.
“Barbwire” was recorded on The Techniques' “You Don't Care” riddim, which was released two years previous – 1967 (on the Trojan and Treasure Isle labels)

Goopy Geer (a comedic dog) originally debuted on April 16, 1932. One month later on May 25, 1932 Disney debuted a “new” comedic dog character named Dippy Dawg, who later became more commonly known as Goofy.
