This is interesting to me. But I want to find more raggae with jazzy elements like this but idk where to start looking. Some suggestions? Plz and thanx.
Most people dont know that artists of the present only cover the past, and they are making big money for things they didnt come up with, only artists like Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Cocoa Tea, Yellowman and such have the right to cover i think, they allready made their history.
Its not fair to money out of someone else idea, the one who come up with it are the true champion.
@EDEsouth I see you have no KNOWLEDGE about great music douche Mr Sean Paul could have never came up with such a great song in his wildest dreams with out Mr alton Ellis to first write this song originally many years ago. Sean will never fill the shoes of the giant reggae artist so if you don't know now you know. He did a remake to honor Mr Ellis if you didn't know
RIP alton ellis your one of the best and still have loyal fans
u don't know nothing about reggae music and the elders who paved the way for today's artists you sound so stupid to people who really know reggae music go way ediot boy
I was going to take the high road and not respond but changed my mind. Please do not tarnish this site with your nasty fantasies. Oh, and by the way, say what you want I won't be responding to any more of your stupid remarks.
the simple fact that sean paul chose to do a cover of this song which you like (so much i assume you looked for the original) should prove to you this isn't a 'crap song', i hope you realize the complete and utter stupidity of your comment, and if not i pity your ignorance.
@sixtyninne69 - Don't be so hard. No one can replace or out do the real greats. SP is just doing his ting. In todays climate there are very few creative artistes like the old greats. Stay Blessed
why is everyone all hating on sean paul? I dont like the guy but hes done what the rest of jamacian artist have and versioned a classic riddim. he's not the only one to cover this song...
Sean Paul has stated several times that this was an Alton Ellis track. Cut him slack because Sean Paul and Sasha brought this track into a tough industry of dancehall and reggae that consists of nothing but talk of violence and I think they did this track more than justice!
hey,how about a vinyl rip? :p i'd love to have this version in my computer,because at this time i can't find anymore old records to buy.and if i do,i can't afford em :|
ha! I'm adding to this thread way late, but check this. Combine this with Althea and Donna's - Uptown Ranking, then you'll come full circle with Sean Paul and Sasha's version...
@benniebenbenny To be fair, Sean Paul's version is a remake of Marcia Aitken's cover of this song. But I agree, w/o Alton's original, Marcia would have never had a hit, nor would Trinity, Althea & Donna, and Sean Paul!
just to clear up sumtin...he is the original !! He wrote this song one day walking down da street in Jamaica and went to the studio dat same night to record it.....he made da riddim too!!
@236091 - Well, this would have been Sasha's part of Sean Paul's song; Not really a cover, more like sampling. Otherwise Sean Paul's version is different.
This seems allowable - the different treatments of Horace Andy's "Skylarking" for example. Even in Second-Wave Ska, you have sampling from Prince Buster's stuff, among others.
@retroflow44 - its to bad sean paul and sasha mash up this song, Hortense Ellis and Alton Ellis are the only versions of this song and will be the only versions for life
Sean Paul did that song in 2003 and Alton gave up the flesh in 2008, so what your saying make's no sense! Alton by far dominates this chune as he does with everything he touched!
very annoying that this version is not available almost anywhere. there are tons of versions that are ok, but THIS version playing right from that record is (in my opinion) the best... I bet the rights got bought and won't allow it to release because it's almost too much like Sean Paul & Sasha's.
@mrrk ha! I'm adding to this thread way late, but check this. Combine this with Althea and Donna's - Uptown Ranking, then you'll come full circle with Sean Paul and Sasha's version...
