And yet another Studio One riddim, with Jackie Mittoo again involved, the second most important figure of the studio after Coxsone Dodd (Leroy Sibbles is the third). An instrumental with the Soul Vendors is the original from 1967-68. The riddim is influenced by "Norwegian Wood" from the Beatles. The riddim was used several times by all the major reggae producers, and a particular success at the mid-80s and 00s.
