My father used to play this all the time on his set, I'm here listening to this in honor of him. May God rest his soul well😌

I Can’t Believe somebody been holding on to this 45 for all these years. This song was not in Circulation for years some Collectors still got some music out there. I only hear this play twice in my 50 years. And now it’s on KZread. Thanks for sharing. Sound Bran new.

Music has NEVER recovered from the DEATH of this Man!

SLIM SMITH, DAVE BARKER, PAT KELLY, KEN PARKER, D, STWEART of THE GAYLADS, BUNNY BROWN of THE CHOSEN FEW also DERRICK HARRIOTT and TONY MAHONEY of THE BLACKSTONES has that kind of singing voice like CURTIS MAYFIELD, of THE IMPRESSIONS, SAM COOKE ,SMOKEY ROBINSON, and THE MIRACLES also EDDIE KENDRICK of THE TEMPTATIONS, these great singer's, some of them singer in and out of falsetto without you noticing the transaction between the natural and falsetto, this is one of many reasons why all the above SINGER'S are so gifted. THE BLACKSTONES

you left out jamaican greatest Cornell Campbell, Keble Drummonds could help himself aswell

I’m so happy to see how many people really love this music I had no one to relate to growing up in the 90s all the kids in school only knew hiphop and I had a full collection these classics from my dad !

One of my all-time favorite Studio One tunes. Slim Smith is greatly overlooked these days.

Bob marley said slim smith was a great singer back inna di day's.

Nostalgic. The 60's was magic world wide

@@leroypowell2562 that let know everyone have different taste that's a nice classic song plus is only a few singers come close to slim smith with that type of voice.. My all time favorite fist time i ever buy a record was in 1980 in cross roads Kingston and it was a slim smith album

best version ...studio one studios ...slim

I know that he passed in 70s I remembered they interrupt the program n announced is passing, i was a young teen then !

Legend of rocksteady

You're spoiling us, Bionic Dub, you're spoiling us! Lovely, and not easy to get hold of the original.

BIG TUNE!!!

The original unremixed cut of this was re released a few years back with another Slim Smith tune on side B, *"I've Got Your Number."* Killer classic from Slim.👍✊

This is a slight variation of Lonely Soldier originally by Mike Williams and later cover by Gregory Isaacs, this is earlier though. There’s also a Jimmy McFarland track with the same name but totally different song. Great combination of Coxsone Dodd and Slim on this one - love it. Was it ever issued previously or just recently ?

I have the original which was a limited blank release in 66 with a ballad on the flip. This mix is coxsone's doctored version from the 80s with added percussion, not even talking about the version flip. I had the original KZread but the Dodds got KZread to give me 92 strikes so no more S1 on KZread just my mp3s i share. Easy to find me.

THE UNIQUES featuring SLIM SMITH LLOYD CHARMERS, JIMMY RILEY, The only vocal group to outshine and stole the show from the great WAILERS aka PETER, BOB,BUNNY, THE STAGE SHOW WAS NAMED: BATTLE OF THE GROUP'S FEATURING most of the TOP ROCKSTEADY VOCAL GROUP'S AT THE TIME. I HEARD ABOUT THIS STORY FROM MORE THAN ONE PERSON, SO ONE DAY I WENT BY THE GREAT KEN PARKER home and LLOYD CHARMERS WAS THEIR AND I ASK HIM ABOUT THE BATTLE OF THE GROUP'S STORY THAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT AND LLOYD CHARMERS CONFIRMED THAT ITS TRUE, HE SAID I REMEMBER THE WHOLE THING LIKE IT JUST TOOK PLACE NOW, BOB WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL, SPEAKING OF CUTIS MAYFIELD PLEASE DON'T FORGET:. KEN PARKER AND BUNNY BROWN THE BLACKSTONES
