'She Don't Let Nobody' was the second big British hit for Jamaican DJ Chaka Demus and singer Pliers... It followed 'Tease Me' into the Top 5 and reached No.4 in September/October '93.
It's not one of the CD&P hits that I remember, but like many of their others it was a cover version, in this case of a Curtis Mayfield track from 1981. It's not made clear in either version exactly what "she" won't let other people do, but I think we can all guess. Either way, it's not Mayfield's finest work and this version is even less interesting, rather lacking in soul and not as obviously danceable as most of their others. Probably the most forgotten of their Top 5 smashes.
