    Compare Funkin' for Jamaica to the underratedToni Smith - Ooh....I Like The Way It Feels! - can you hear the simularities. Although Toni recorded her song 3 years later, she was helped Tom to compose this evergreen, which was also a small hit for the Evasions (Wikka wrap), which was released on Groove records. A wonderful label of the best import shop in London with an old lady who knowed soul!

    • @lordtj63
      @lordtj63 6 років тому +2

      I was at a chaka concert quite sometime ago, and for some reason, Chaka decided to sing this song towards the end of her show, and I have to say in all honesty it was absolutely awful, the the point of being cringe-worthy. Even though their voices (and Vesta's) are very similar, Toni Smith was definitely the better vocal for this track.

    • @pdspears102767
      @pdspears102767 6 років тому +1

      Chaka would have murdered it alright. With all that terrible screaming she does. Tonni did just great. She is the epitome of a beautiful black woman. Sang girl.
