Wow...I've always thought Jimmy Riley came up with this. I am happy to discover Slim Smith and his group, the people behind my favorite reggae riddim.

What a masterful performance by the late great Slim Smith on the Lloyd Coxone Dodd label. Listening to the rhythem track enhances what to me is one of Slim's greatest to name but a few. Excellent.
