Just watched this on Sky Arts and it's a fascinating story of the record label.

    Lots of great artists there.

    For me, the absolute best was the late, great "Toots" Hibbert.

    "Reggae got soul: the Story of Toots and the Maytals" has been on Sky Arts. Epic.

    The inventor of the term "reggae". The most Number 1s in Jamaica. When they couldn't get gigs in America, invited to support bands as diverse as John Denver and the Rolling Stones. The inspiration for a raft of recent artists, from Sean Paul to Amy Winehouse to Paolo Nutini, as well as Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Sly & Robbie.

    There are various versions of this song. You can see him singing this flawlessly at aged75+ on the web. When supporting John Denver, this would be his set closer: must have been something of a surprise to your average 1970s Country fan :)
