The teenaged
cut
under the tutelage of the legendary producer
in the mid-'70s, and had a Jamaican hit with the title track.
's artlessly fervent singing is attractive far out of proportion to his technical skill. It's the sincerity and devotion in his voice that make successes of songs like
and
-- that and the rock-solid instrumental backing of
's studio band, which at this time included bassist and trombonist
and guitarists
. The CD issue of this album includes
versions of six of the original album's eight tracks, as well as several other miscellaneous
tracks. Like too many of Jamaica's best
musicians,
died young -- in an almost creepy irony (given the title of his hit song), he was shot and killed in 1983 at the age of 21. ~ Rick Anderson
