[atwiastage]

I swear I've played this several thousand times in the span of a single year. Everytime i got in the car repeating it over, and a lot while at home. The song is simple in my opinion but maybe thats what made it so pure. I just couldn't stop listening to it and I never got tired of it.

[Freetown1985]

Respond to this video...my girlfriend thinks gregory isaacs is better then bob marley ! true or false

[Freetown1985]

instant classic!

[manyes21]

just wanna cry gosh this songs reminds me of my first love in the 80s brings bac memos lm sad song too good cool ruler

[polostic]

Absolutely fantastic, brings back memories in benin city when my babe did a runner and came back begging, played this for her,now has 3 beautiful kids wuth me. thanks for posting

[hitomusic]

One of the greatest reggae recordings/songs of all time. The vocal, the band - the thing is just unbelievable. Dial your ear to the band's fabulous work; once dialed in, you can truly discern Issac's great mastery of delivering lyrics.

[elbon2009]

used to mek me cry

[brownee20007]

Cooooool Ruler!!!

[hitomusic]

The band is so fabulously dialed in and locked in. The way the lyrics are meshed to the riddim is so incredibly into the groove of the reggae.(The mastery of Isaacs vocal skill). The music is unreal - the silent spaces between the rythym guitar and the keyboard is magic vibe just happening. The drummer just tick-tocking away....

[Medipak]

@hitomusic my bredda thats what you gotta expect when you got sly and robbie producing and roots radics backing

[hitomusic]

Medipak: Sly and Robbie!! Yee-aaa, mon, Seen!

[Parboogie]

Thanks for posting this all time big tune.

[minimutu7]

Biggest tune EVER!

[louisew82]

best song eva! now ur drinking liquer which u didnt do! but i'll be around!

[iloveu606]

This is reggae as it should be, simple clean and pure.

Skanky M

[bamuchem]

@iloveu606 also music as it should be. very clean and easy. you can listen to this over over and over and wont get tire. but stuff now 4 to 5 times and u getting a head ache

[pecemk69]

@iloveu606 i agree 100 on dat its soo simple the bass line is soo sweet in all reggae music im a drummer i love reggae

[mitee247]

the man is the greatest... of all time

[redninja692001]

first time ive heard the studio recording..i still think the live version is better..

[ijahmanlevi]

Maybe the live version is tuffer and deeper (in particular the drums), but I love both of them. This one is more intimate.

[ijahmanlevi]

I'll be your bridge over trouble water...

[lefttide]

Thats the f-n jam. In the projects where I live, back in the late 70's to late 90's peace and unity is what Rasta music brought us.

[doyanaguy7168]

Smooth just smooooth.i cant discribe the feeling.takes me to heaveen and back.

[dutchhustler187]
