    Only 62 likes. Cannot believe it. These guys are the granddaddies of Reggae music. Oh well. At least Old Timers like myself appreciate this stuff.

      bad thing with oldtimers like yourself is that you suck at technology so you can't spot other videos for this song that have more than 10 million views. You are not the "special one" you thought you were.

      I'm 51 and these guys are rock steady legends to GenX (the 1989 move Drugstore Cowboy also gave them a boost). I have this album on cassette (cringe). But there is no chance DD&A will be ever forgotten! ❤💚🖤

    that song The Israelites reminds me of the summer of 1969 in smoggy Los Angeles.

    I completely missed that song when it came out; I was in Vietnam and they apparently didn't play it on Armed Forces radio.

      As a Canadian I know what it is to have horrible neighbours. One day soon Israel will be free of theirs. Hopefully all this carnage will lead all parties to figure out a final solution to the problem. Long Live The Israelites!!!!!!!!!
