Amru Sani

Amru Sani (16 August 1925 – 15 August 2000) 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", 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". As an actress, Sani appeared in the early Spaghetti Western Maracatumba ... ma non è una rumba (Italy, 1949), The Naked Maja (1958), and John Huston's The Bible: In the Beginning (1966).
