    Well - I am now 64 years old, this was the first reggae single I bought in 1969 and played the living daylights out of it, I drove my family mad. I STILL LOVE IT and always will - Live on REGGAE.

      This was my first reggae single as well. Lent this and The Cats version of Swan Lake (first UK reggae group to have a top50 hit with it) to a friend of my brother. Trouble is, I never saw either one again. But I did manage to get another vinyl copy of Swan Lake last year though.

      This was one of the first singles I bought from Woolworths in about 1974 aged 13 .I had to order it in as it was obviously 5 years old by then ..
      For me it was a great 60,s reggae vibe, still have the single somewhere,but play it from my phone now

    Although I'm not Jamaican, in my youth, up to today, I still love listening to favourite tracks, like this one. I could replay them for 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and never tire of hearg them. I believe Jamaicans are some of the most talented singers, musicians, producers, technicians, worldwide. So many great musical artists have come out of Jamaica. So many, in the music industry, worldwide, have been influenced by them.

      Actually Stax 'borrowed' the song almost in its entirety for "Take You There'. If you listen to this you'll hear the bass line is the same, the melody played on piano here is done on guitar on TYT. EVen the bridge where Mavis goes, "David, little David Easy here" is on this. Stax admitted they got the 'inspiration' from a song then Stax Pres. Al Bell heard while on vacation n Jamaica. Truth is out. One of Soul Musics finest moments is actually a Jamaican classic

I feel sorry for everyone who was supporting Chelsea before the big investments, same goes to ManCity and ManUnited.
      Even if I have to admit that I've been a football tourist in England as well, taking a look at the Hawthorns (and buying a baggies shirt which is still in my wardrobe) and Molineux, finally seeing a match at Bescot Stadium, Walsall, in 2010.
