  • I was listening to this while watching the girl shake her booty from the sean paul video with the volume off

  • Your vid went viral on Tallinn

  • Don;t ever get much better than this Mark!

  • 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.

  • The original cool rulers, jamaican brothers laying down the sweet message.

  • 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.

    Nuff love from Holland... BLESS

  • Bless up! Thx for showering us w/ THEE ORIGINAL TUNE!

    A classic this is! I don't get how these children can go to every original classic a dis the Old school artist -yet praise these new school artist?!

    Alton made it possible for not only sean paul but the great Beres Hammond to sample this!

  • THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!

  • good  song

  • @EDEsouth do you know anything about music. Sean Paul and cant walk in MR Ellis shoe no day ....

  • @EDEsouth

    fool...

  • @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

  • @EDEsouth

    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

  • @adinalewis who do you think you are? hardcore reggae fan? suck a cock you black ashole

  • @EDEsouth

    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.

  • @EDEsouth

    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.

  • @EDEsouth  Sean Paul is a commercial artist!!!!! This is the real deal ,but I guess you wouldnt understand?

  • Say this with the deepest respect to you (and Dino) if i could only chose one of your uploads in "Desert Island Discs" style, I would take this one!

  • was this 1977? I thought Rocksteady stopped at 1968

  • de lo mejor del reggae este superclasico

  • Vinyl all the way with me, RIP Alton

  • When only the best will do!

  • Brings a smile to my face. Thank you very much for sharing the vinyl goodness.

  • finding a rare gem on you tube is ever more common these days.. R.E.S.P.E.C.T to all those wonderful people who share them with the rest of humanity

  • @Realness97 thats real...big up yoself

  • what is the name of this riddim?

  • Yep - I agree. A lovely cut. This just helps to remind me why I LOVE my reggae music. Blessings to you ALL

  • ill never be able to hear this song without crying a little tear for her :(

  • sean paul suks!!!

    [!!!]

    alton ellis rules...

  • @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...

  • Were you holding the movie camera during 4'17?

  • Thank you for taking the time to film and upload this.

  • 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!

  • i mean,a rip of better quality :)

  • @RasMenuo I have posted a better quality copy, do a search via my channel

  • simon sokol 01-29-1982 den haag erik troote laan van meerde voort playlist 13

  • simon sokol den haag thuis bij erik trost laanvanmerdevort  playlist 13

  • 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 :|

  • really, if it'd be possible for you in any way, I guess a lot of ppl would really appreciate it.

  • lalalalalala aaa que recuerdos!!!!!!!!1

  • amazing

  • love alton's music - the king of rocksteady - sadly missed, i have had the honor to have played in his band will always remember that time!

  • 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...

  • muy lindo!!!

  • WOW great song

  • Classic!!!! The music from back then was the Sh$#@!

  • ahhh recuerdo q tenia unos discos asi de cepillin y topolliyo jajajajajaja

  • yeah original

  • Fuck Sean Paul.

  • Big Up!!! Nice to hear the original.

    I like the Sean Paul version too.

    Good music is good music no matter who is making it.

  • uuf i love :D

  • kabron esta chida lo rola ehh!!!!

  • B U E N I S I M O

  • the best

  • sean paul is gay

  • Wicked tune indeed

  • damn hot

  • very nice...thank u

  • yeah his page has 10x more views that wat sad u no

  • rest in peace, alton. we miss you each and every day.

  • Respectfully to all but Sean Paul couldn't compose his way out of a paper bag.

    If he had any class, Sean Paul would give credit to Alton Ellis every time he sings this song.

  • seriously. guys like that love to give shoutouts on their tracks, he couldnt spare a beat to give credit where its due?

  • @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!

  • @benniebenbenny yes mon hem don giv no credit a di true artist

  • really its beautiful.....

  • How can I find it?? what's the name of this version?? please

  • Sean Paul sucks, It'd be better if he wasn't jamaican. Bless roots reggae !!

  • stupid comment

  • sean paul re-did this song

  • jahrastafari RIP Alton Ellis we miss You

  • Amazing sound!!!

  • R.I.P

  • legendry song will never die RIP AE

  • R.I.P ALTON ELLIS and thanks for your songs !! that made my days so sunny !!! A VOICE OF A ANGEL WHO IS SINGING WITH THE ANGELS NOW !!! AMEN !!!

  • 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!!

    RIP Great Alton Ellis truly missed x

  • School dem!

  • Fucking great song_____I love you A!!!

  • I'm still in loooooooooooooooooooove...With this tune, girl.

  • Rocksteadily mega-mungus! The way it should be heard too...snap crackle and pop!

  • The King of Rocksteady, the wonderful star of jamaica!!!!

  • This song still sounds soulful.

  • omd! its great hearing the originaal

  • nooo man yo quiero este disco!

  • i thought this was too good for that phoney sean paul to whip up.

    the imposter shyster

  • listen to that after i bury my cat

  • i was looking for this song thaks man 5*

  • supreme track

  • obviously this version is the winner, but sean paul's wasnt so terrible, and it did bring the song to the attention of a younger generation

  • Like myself.

  • @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

  • Nada como la original, siquiera juego a decir que las otras sean pésimas versiones pero merecen mas reconocimiento los autores originales

  • sin duda es la mejor version!!!

  • mucho mejor voz que sean paul

  • fantastic lyrics and melody!!!

  • Alton Ellis, the godfather of reggae...

    and it's plain to see why ...

  • alton ellis the godfather of rocksteady!!

  • R.I.P. ALTON ELLIS ! , a true singer .

    fuck sean pauls's version of the song he stole this song after alton died .

  • 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!

  • I love this one, Sean Paul & Sasha can kiss my.... feet

  • love it!

  • 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.

  • Your right, this version is not on any CD I know of. His early perormance of the song can be found but this one is far better.

  • @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...

  • @mrrk yes. best version.

  • I think it's on Itunes.... That's where I got it

  • @jamielrallen You might wanna try Trojan records cd BOX SET, they might have it. they got all the ol'jamaican classic rock steady, ska etc...

  • @jamielrallen ha! Hey combine this with Althea and Donna's - Uptown Ranking... then you come full circle with Sean Paul and Sasha's version...

  • @jamielrallen sean paul needs to leave

  • @centizzle Sean Paul and many other reggae artists are moving reggae forward for the next generation. Don't be so fast to dis him.

  • damn i thought the sean paul version was nice wow cant touch the original mi love reggae!!

  • mi love dis song

  • luv alton !

    u are so great man !

  • Love It!

  • question - how many of todays artists' careers are built on the shoulders of giants???? answer - the whole of them.

    respect to the foundation , alton ya large.
