Great memory.The REAL thing. I remember when this song was all we had then. We listened to it day and night, Even when there was no money, but there were lots and lots of Happiness,Brotherly and Sisterly love. The song was all about HOPE. Look at things today. Microwaveable, washer and dryer lifestyles. Still no happiness. God's save us all.

Any others you'd recommend apart from the Gladiators Trenchtown MixUp, Marley's African Herbsman and the Congos. Any others?
