This man was a genius. RIP.

Love John holt jah rasta for i

Beautiful melody, its been in my memory for over 40 years 🕎

Gosto da música!

A versão do Blondie também é muito bacana,

Eu sabia que essa música é dele,mas nunca conseguir escutar em disco, só conheço essa versão.

I never knew that Blondie didn't write this song, I'm glad the record was set straight for me as I have loved this song since the 70's , it's one of the first songs I ever remember hearing on the radio as a child.

everyone should have 100 volts of Holt album in their collection, if you have not heard it go and listen , one of the greatest reggae covers album ever

One of the best from my country rest in peace ,

Beautiful

A maré está alta mas estou agüentado, Eu vou ser a sua número um. Não sou o tipo de garota Que simplesmente desiste assim, Oh, não. Não são as coisas que você faz Que irritam e me magoam tanto, Mas é o jeito que você faz As coisas que você faz para mim. Não sou o tipo de garota Que simplesmente desiste assim, Oh, não. Refrão: A maré está alta mas estou agüentado, Eu vou ser a sua número um, Número um, número um... Toda garota quer que você seja o seu homem, Mas vou esperar, meu querido, até que seja minha vez. Não sou o tipo de garota Que simplesmente desiste assim, Oh, não. Refrão Toda garota quer que você seja o seu homem, Mas vou esperar, meu querido, até que seja minha vez. Não sou o tipo de garota Que simplesmente desiste assim, Oh, não. Refrão The Tide Is High The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no It's not the things you do That tease and wound me bad But it's the way you do The things you do to me I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one Number one, number one Every girl wants you to be her man But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one Number one, number one Every girl wants you to be her man But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn I'm not the kind of girl Who gives up just like that Oh, no The tide is high but I'm holding on I'm gonna be your number one {Repeat}

Gone too soon but your music live forever?

I was 11 when I first heard this song in the 60s by the Paragons. 13 years later, my young wife reintroduced it to me (Blondie version)when I'd just gotten back from a 6-month deployment as a young naval Officer living in Virginia. The song has had staying power...

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male. When I first heard this in 8th grade, I thought it was a Mexican song! Probably because it has a "romantic Latin feel" to it, a "tropical feel" to it, and a guitarist at a Mexican restaurant Casa Lupita played it when my parents and I went there! When we'd play pickup softball, there were guys named Eduardo and Fidel, great guys, Mexican-Americans, and when they'd come up to bat, in every good way, I'd sing, "The tide is high, but I'm holding on...." Kind of like their "walk up music." Eduardo and Fidel probably wondered what the heck I was singing that for!

I thought the paragons sang it first

He had such a great voice. I love his voice. I am so sorry we lost him . I love these videos that holds his memories RIP JOHN.

Requiescat In Pace. ❤

Rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌵 yes I 🍄🇪🇹🍄🌍🍄🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🍄

Fantastic compilation of I believe the best voice to come out of Jamaica. Well done my friend 👍

Can you see John and Debbie performing this absolute gem together? In my dreams, man, in my dreams.

Awesome work

This is the best version I’ve ever heard, such a beautiful damn song

❤

He is the best male singer ever

A great voice and an original reggae great. Died alone in a flat in London so sad. R.I.P John you will be singing with the angels 😇 in heaven.

The one and only John Holt 💖💖

Jesus Christ is coming back repent

I always wondered why Blondie made a reggae song and never knew the true origins of this gem. This is better and just wonderful. Thanks for posting this.

For so long I thought Bob Marley sang this. I feel like a penny waiting for change.
