Sister Nancys version was an unprepared freestyle when she was about 19 just messing around in a studio. Amazing really.

[MrBosch]

Was confident that Sister Nancy was the original but found this today... Even older...

I can tell you that when this tune dropped, it took the entire island by surprise, it was like a hurricane, everyone knew the lyrics .

This is one of the best songs ever written. It’s incredibly soulful…

Waiting at a small venue for TatM to hit the stage. People were chanting "Toots! Toots! Toots!" A gentle hand on my shoulder. I turn and Toots is looking at me, smiling, eyes bright, "Shhh!" Like, it's our secret he is trying to sneak onto the stage. Thank you, Toots.

My Dad used to sing this at random times but I was never really aware as to where it came from. He never had any reggae in the house in those days.

I left home and came across Toots and The Maytals through a computor game of all places. I soon became a massive fan.

Imagine my surprise when I heard these lyrics. It turns out that my Dad had been a huge fan of theirs ever since he had been a boy in Jamaica. Strange to think that the two of us came to love this band, decades apart.

[TheMertoman]

Thank You Toots for musical treasure !!! Rest In Power Rasta.

THE 2024 BAM BAM wishing y'all a healthy life wherever you are🤗
