  • @yama338dad  I meant "real" of course.....Sorry.

  • Only good cover of this song.

  • i love this song, it is the shit!

  • This is from the album "Toots In Memphis", which is Toots, with Sly & Robbie, and a bunch of Memphis folks like Teenie Hodges, covering a bunch of Memphis classics. No Maytals included.

    No slight to The Maytals, but this album has ALWAYS been on any 10 essentials list I've had since I first heard the album 30 years ago or so. Toots In Memphis. Check it out. You won't be sorry.

    This is only one of MANY fantastic cuts on this collection.

  • @ElectricOpenMic

  • GREAT [][][][]

  • Yes I, try this one, for old time sake

  • If you would like to hear the most definitive gut wretching emotional version of this song - listen to Etta James version.

  • @583550ls I read a great quote by Etta, she said, "I could always pick the right song, I just couldn't pick the right man."

  • Toots is one of the best live shows you will ever see. If you get a chance you have to go.

  • @FlowingChaddy - Percy sledge version is also cover - original is an Otis Redding song.

  • i like this single

    kisses from the netherlands

  • Love Toots but Otis Redding is the best version of all.

  • SAMUEL L JACKSON!

  • @hapster64 I remember :)

  • toots can sing!!

  • I really love the first 4 seconds :)

    ok and the rest of the nummer to :)

  • a mate of mine played me a cover of a clapton song by these guys but i was too fucked up to remember. can anyone point me in the right direction?

  • I know John Denver's Country roads take me home. Also, Marvin Gaye's Spiritual Healing. I'm sure he also covered Clapton. REALLY TOOTS LIVE is the best show I have ever seen. BOB, PETER AND BUNNY said the same thing. PLEASE do yourself a favor and go see this AWSOME MAN and his Band. "You don't need DREADS to be a RASTA MAN" Thanks Fredrick!!!

  • you wouldn't want to hear the right direction, I suspect. But listen to Toots and read the Bible and you might get a clue!

  • youre right pal i dont want to hear about it. i have my own beliefs and i sure dont come to youtube for salvation.

  • absolut timels !

    jahhhhhhhh in my brain !

    toots in my ears !

    and the world is mine !!!!

    GREETINGS FROM >TURKEY

  • HE'S THE JAMAICAN OTIS REDDING !

  • he aint jamaican...

  • I have no idea what perspective you're coming from! "He 'aint Jamaican" in respect to who? I was reffering to Toots Hibbert patterning his style to Otis Redding.

  • never gets old!!!

  • Really nice version of this great song. No ones mentioned the Prince Buster of this which is fantastic!

  • Who are they? I am hooked to all the Jamaican songs, but this one... Hum. Just great the reggae version. I also recall that there is "Amen" reggae version from a group from the Islands. Thanks for posting.

  • super mooi

  • @kaudogg AND HARMONY...lol

  • Blessings ...

  • I have loved Toots and the Maytals since I was a little girl growing up in Guyana and I am so happy to have discovered all of their wonderful music on the internet. I love you guys!! This is real music!!!

  • why oh why has it taken 30 years of my life to pass to found toots,i knew who he was but i was too mainstream with my reggae choices, only now as i am on a soul search and not looking for my soul but looking for that soul sound that i am finding all thsi music that has existed for so many years. Thanks to the album Marc Broussard put out last year Save Our Soul where he covered thsi song i always look for a cover of it, this is bad ass and so is mule version, let the music get down in your soul

  • That's o.k my brother...your sins are forgiven..now go on and discover more of the "Roots, Rock & Reggae"....Re-look at Jimmy Cliff.. he will enlighten you even further......The harder they come is for you!

  • I need to thank SQUID IN TAHOE, he turned me on to TOOTS at the world music fest. in Cali 97. Since then i have seen the Mytals at least 30 times, even managed to have a drink with Toots. Thank God the world has such a wonderful person and man in our times, I can't express enough how I RESPECT this Man. Do yourself a HUGE favor.. GO AND SEE THE SHOW. Thanks for all the wonderful memories Fredrick and the band.

  • for me it was picking up a cutout album in the late 60s or early 70s for a buck, back in his rocksteady era. And it took 40 years from then for me to come to Christ and realize what a wonderful brother I have in this blessed man!
