[bktesi]

Wow! my mommy always sang me this song!!! I finally get to hear the original!!!!

[blkshewolf]

OMG, I love this song. My mom played it all the time when I was a little girl and I've always loved it!

[remsal66]

Why cant they play music like this again? Don't understand

[strafebiggy]

This song and some others from great singers such as Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh etc rightly put Jamaica on the center stage because people could understand the lyrics unlike the Jamaican reggae artists of today.......hard to understand them and they are not as popular as stars of the years gone by. Had the new generation been the pioneers of reggae, it wouldn't have been as popular. Kudos to the flagship generation who helped put Jamaica on the world map!

[onebay2007]

Agree

[Mupuro]

You are so right i couldnt have put it better myself Yeater years Pioneers are truly legends.Todays artist Or at least Most of them only come up with what i call bubble gum reggae

[GM1844]

This is a great song!

[ljcca]

Not quite the land of my birth but I lived there for much of my childhood from the age of a few months. Haven't heard this in decades. Thanks for posting it! Reminds me of my mom, my childhood, summers spent at Runaway Bay, and the excitement of waiting for the announcement of the winner of Festival Song Competition on Independence day. Eric Donaldson won in 1976 and 77 with this song and with "Sweet Jamaica" which is also on youtube and he won several other times before and after that as well.

[marquim196]

[abilies]

i am from cameroon and this song was one of my first songs i could sing , because my uncle loved it and he loved me much, so as a cab driver he always played it and i loved those cab rides with him, not for the song but the car, but i grew up liking what he liked.

[kumbokid]

I am from Cameroon too but live in Chicago.I always wondered where I could get this song until I stumbled on it here.Those good old days!Thanks xcieltjex.Youtube rocks

my family is from jamaica and i recently went back. it is a beautiful country, but the gang violence has gripped people over there in fear. its a damn shame because the country is beautiful and people are so friendly. i hope they get rid of the gang violence so jamaica goes back to the beautiful, warm hearted country that it was to be. if god ever put paradise on earth it is certainly jamaica.
