Even though a female solo act has never won the Reggae Grammy Award, 18 Karat Reggae wanted to pay tribute to the 13 females who we believe are amongst the 13 greatest all time.
Bear in mind, that this is solely opinion based. If you believe we miss someone from the list, please let us know. However, for every person you want to add to the list you must tell us who to remove from our list. So if you can think of 5 females that should be on the list but are not, you must say which 5 from the list below you would remove. Maybe you want to remove all 13 and replace with a completely new 13; that is cool too.
