Its a great loss to music that Tyrone Davis (original version), Alton Ellis, Delroy Wilson & Dennis Brown have all gone so soon. All did fine versions of this classic.
Thanks for posting this. Its one of those tracks of Altons that isnt easy to find really ~ at least it hasnt been for me. Totally one of my favorite songs of all time, funny enough.
This is great, loving the Rocksteady. I particularly like The Pietaster's cover of this, but the original... Well, you know. It's the original... You can't beat it.
Hey Ms. Clanccy, thank you so much for allowing me to apply the appropriate mood music for my courting, which is currently trans-Atlantic so I can't exactly slip the right song on the deck right before I dim the lights y'know? But I can send the right song at the right moment PROVIDED someone has posted it on youtube. And since I think in reggae terms when I think of songs, I often find myself sending a Clanccy posted song to say what I can't say in person. So thanks!
One of, if not THE greatest Rock Steady vocalists of all time. So many memories to his tunes and the duet album with Hortenese is still an unrivaled fave. R.I.P. They don´t make them like you anymore Alton!
A prestige music this...top of the top...

Anyone who search for alton ellis and did not like this version, must be crazy, this is better than the one I have, it sounds live, is it a live cut?
