i'm sure this will make many people mad, but i don't think bob marley ever sang anything this good. sure he may have been more creative (this is a cover after all) and influential, but alton ellis had a better voice. he truly was mr. soul of jamaica.
Ufffffffff, Mister Alton the king Jamaican of Rocksteady Music!!!, ufffff!!!!!, this song!!!!, amazing!!!!, is just elegant!!!, the lyric, so beautiful, ufff, without words, is simply amazing, the king, no other.

@SteveCapecci Yes, without the ganja smoking ragamuffin look that today typically stereotypes Jamaicans and their music interests.

For this song to sound sooooo great minus the saxophone solo is really a testament to alton's great talent and soul.
and boy does he sound like that sax when he wails.
