"Electric Boogie" -- Marcia Griffiths

Well supported

'Electric Boogie', written by Bunny Wailer and first recorded by Marcia Griffiths in 1983, became a US Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1989-90 after a Washington DC radio DJ revived it; the remixed version on her album Carousel sparked the 'Electric Slide' line dance and remains the best-selling single by a female reggae artist.
