Yes! Got This On Vinyl Myself ..wheres the other version Not from the Slummin album? i just might put it up unless they copyright it..N E Way classic tune
Really beautiful song, sung without bitterness but obviously not without pain. Heard this first in the 70's but a slightly different version and by Alton. THANX ,great post.
Thank you so much for posting this classic Alton Ellis tune. I have just found it and have been playing it over and over. He's has made many great songs, but I think this is his best song of all. I can really feel the pain in his voice a he's singing it. Great song and performance!!! Thank you again!!
Despite all we have been through we know that we are proud of who we are as a race, our children and what they will acheive in the future! Positivity is the key!
RIP Alton you are missed, for delivering lyrics such as this in a voice which is as original as yours....
Thanks for the info DLC. I believe this version was from 1971. I far prefer it to some of the others, including the one on the Arise Black Man album, which didn't have the same passion to me.
Like yourself, I greatly miss Mr Ellis. He was a reggae musical icon and conducted himself as such and made a huge contribution to the genre. R.I.P

It's hard to believe that this was the third version of "Black Man's Pride" Alton recorded as opposed to the first.
I could be wrong, but the switch of the "winner / loser" lyric gives it away.
Also, he just goes and gives it all he's got.
No doubt, Alton Ellis is the king of Rocksteady and Reggae Soul. I still miss him terribly, and will continue to love him and his music forever.
