Probably the most well-known pure reggae song to be a hit in America as done by Desmond Dekker with his backing group, the Aces. It was also the first reggae track to top the British charts. The lyrics are kind of indecipherable, but it recognizes Rastafarians and how they identify with the persecution of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Desmond was a welder by trade, and recommended fellow welder Bob Marley to the head of his record label. Yah, mon.
