I’m rather a lonely type of fellow. Sometimes late at night, I make a hot cup of tea, put on this song, stand by the window looking out at the rain and think about the past….. it soothes my mind 😊😊 To whoever may be reading, I wish you peace ☮️
It's late here too Keith, you be well fella and have a great day ☮
I'm sat in my garage with this on headphones, big spliff & bottle of wine to hand. Wife's upstairs asleep but I get my little kicks skanking along to this. Keeps me happy :)
@@duncanstrickland2550 gotta enjoyed those little things in life that make it worth living 💪🏻

Well - I am now 64 years old, this was the first reggae single I bought in 1969 and played the living daylights out of it, I drove my family mad. I STILL LOVE IT and always will - Live on REGGAE.
This was my first reggae single as well. Lent this and The Cats version of Swan Lake (first UK reggae group to have a top50 hit with it) to a friend of my brother. Trouble is, I never saw either one again. But I did manage to get another vinyl copy of Swan Lake last year though.
This was one of the first singles I bought from Woolworths in about 1974 aged 13 .I had to order it in as it was obviously 5 years old by then ..
For me it was a great 60,s reggae vibe, still have the single somewhere,but play it from my phone now
🎶👍
I am now 39, and I discovered this at age 12 and have loved it ever since❤
Always reminds me of Chelsea and Didier Drogba.
You could have taken the words from right out of my mouth 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you to the Caribbean Community here in the UK for bringing such fantastic music to us here in the UK 😊❤
I grew up with this it can't be bettered
If you're a Jamaican, you'll hear this on the radio every single Sunday evening
876beauty Why ? Are they the only ethnic group that can hear it.
Eric Cox Because a Jamaican radio station (RJR) play this every Sunday evening.
876beauty cuss jamaicans got style ..
If you're from Wolves u hear this all the while in town
+UKGamer what or where is that?
To all the CHELSEA FC..fans throughout the World.....BIG UP Yourself. Thank you for keeping this great Jamaican classic so alive and fresh. Whenever my Arsenal Team loose at Stamford Bridge, albeit rarely, this song makes me smile.... No doubt, Jamaicans had a positive impact in West London.
thats why chelsea are the pride of london. 45 bus from brixton sw9 all the way to sw6 home of the blues
robbed off west brom about 15 years ago
Nah,I heard it in the early 70s at the Bridge unless my memory serves me false,admittedly I've taken far too many drugs in my life but I'm pretty sure on this.West and South London embraced Ska from when it was first heard in the capital.
NOI
Brixton South London too, but we didn't have a decent team.
I’m 65 and still love this. It’s all my youth.
Same here @Pamela Magre! 😄🙌🏻❤️
Me too, reminds me of the funfair ❤️
you damn old you know
Good post from a Manc
@@BetPondue I used to spin the girls in the waltzer cars to this tune great memories
It's 2023. Still can't get bored of this tune. Gives me goosebumps and always reminds me of having a kick around with mates and raises a smile.
Good vibes to all!!!
Agreed. ❤
Tuneeeee
Love it. My team, amazing.
I will always dance with this song so good
Just love this music
Neither Jamaican, nor English here. Just someone who likes an interesting beat and clever chord arrangements. Had never heard this tune until a few days ago. It's brilliant, and addictive.
Thank you Jamaica. Little land of Great musicians.

From the late sixties they used to play this at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea's home games), always reminds me whenever i hear it can transport me back to the games i watched with my dad
thats total bullshit !
Still playing it there now
@@carlstrevett3088 chelsea is a special wankers football club.....
True Tothegame then why you here it’s a Chelsea song
@@casey4735 it will always be jamaican music.... ,, wasnt it chelsea who advocated for the national front = the nonce factory in the 70's & 80's ? therefore it makes absolutely no sense these bummer nonce peado (BNP) 'chelskkki' racists listening to jamaican music...
Tune is 50 years old and still fresh as the day it was cut!
I've been looking for the name of this since forever. Happy days.
AND it's still played at Stamford Bridge! Shivers every time.
robbed off west brom, chelsea have never been original at anything.
Yeah, I remember that being banned at Molineux due to the fans' chant.

Some music just never grows old - still great and always will be.
You can't beat proper reggae. Marvelous
it has been so long since I have heard this one, I stumbled on it by accident!!!. I was 8 years old when this tune hit the airwaves!!.
Hey, you are so right. I was only 11 and it's like a #1 tune for me. Wish I could make it my ring tone on my phone. Even a little piece.
I was so young when u commented this
My son is 8 and this is his favourite song! His grandparents would be proud as they’re from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Proud owner of original single from 1969!
For real.
Ditto, I inherited from my Pops, on a white label, with a title stamp
Damn👍
I have it too. I bought it from a market stall in about 1981.
@@GoodSoundz13 Trojan used to make a just a few white label demo discs to see how they went down at clubs before they pressed thousands.
Always reminds me of my Dad, can see him playing this our home as a child...still have his 45 and played it to him a few days before he passed.RIP Dad X
Still remember this being played at the hawthorns in the early seventies. I don't care who played it first because it's a brilliant tune.
Mark I was a liverpool skinhead in 69 and when I went to the hawthorns the fans were singing the west brom the west brom this was years before chelsea sang it
Geoffrey
Williams liverpool skinhead69
by all accounts it started with Chelsea and your lot with Wolves started about the same time just after them (birmingham evening mail article just before Wolves beat Chelsea 4-1 earlier this season)
I went to the Hawthorns Saturday and it was being belted out by the Baggies supporters
2022 and I still love this tune as much as I did when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s 😍😍😍
I once met Harry Johnson in a Balti House on Birmingham's Hagley Road. He was a proper gentleman. His boarding school education was evident in his manner and speech.
I loved this. 1970 we’d head out to the meet our friends at the Sugar Shack in Loughton Essex and stomp & dance to all the Trojan Records hits and Motown. Loved my teenage years ❤🎉
I used to be a lorry driver and used to deliver all around that way .Loughton,Chigwell ,Hainault etc back in the 80's
Happy days 😁🎶
R.i.p Grandad one of your favorite tunes. Love you always till we meet again xx

Alton Ellis maybe could not afford legal cost to fight the two giants stax.volts and Atlantic record company at that time
Simply one of the great reggae songs of the late nineteen sixties.....
An absolute classic.
And it would be even better if every time i heard it i didnt hear 41800 morons spewing "WE HATE TOTTENHAM, CHELSEA"
@@getupstairstobed that's the lyrics bro 😎😋

The Most Iconic Skinhead Reggae track ever made ....
Skinheads Life Would Never Be The Same ..
It's the Skinhead anthem, always was.
Im still a skinhead now.
Whether I'm down or motivated, I often play this classic, so upbeat that is contagious to the ear & mind, always ending cheer my day. RIP Harry J
And the Bassline played by the late Aston "Family Man Barrett" that inspired the Staples Singers hit "I'll take you there". RIP Familyman. You transformed my life with your astounding creativity and soul.
Did not know this….i always felt I’LL TAKE YOU THERE had a reggae feel
Thanks, I never knew that Raggae inspired R&B music to that level
I got here from a Jackie Jackson page that said he wrote the bass line for an Alton Ellis song called Girl I've Got a Date. Fams is adapting it here but Jackie was the originator.
50 years old and it's still f***ing brilliant!
Im A year behind you bro 👍 but totally agree
I`m a Chelsea fan so it`s an obvious favourite. I still love it in any case.
@Ed Street who hurt u m8?
@Ed Street wheeey ur club is shite
@Ed Street wolves are shit 17th
71 years later I was reminded of the song which was pretty much copied as “I’ll Take You There” sung by Mavis Staples. This was my intro to Reggae and I LOVED IT! The bass line is hypnotic and it keeps this music alive in my brain.
The original by the deltones is better than Mavis staples version 😁
@@rizzy8445 being a native Brit I’m not sure I have ever heard that version of the song, but will look it up and listen. Thanks for the recommendation.
the bass line was originally copied from alton ellis’s “girl I’ve got a date” which inspired both this track and I’ll take you there
The Staple Singers are wonderful.
Whoa young man pure and absolutely brilliant song
Listening to this at the Hawthorns is unique.
Fuck off west brom,the Wolves
The liquidator is my musical innovator of positive vibes during lockdown - superb tune and timeless all the way!
I was a skinhead in the 60,s never hurt a fly,we made most of the reggae artists famous and they loved us,it was all a working class reaction to the student mod types,yes sometimes it got out of hand by a few,but reggae on.bro
Well said mate . Keep on skankin my friend
Nice music when tying up your 16 hole doc martins
Me too , mind you this was always last song at disco (I was 14) we used to go bonkers at each other headbutts and kicking in our docs and rolled up wranglers. Happy memories.
keep it skankin funky king! grew up in 90s skating drinking 40s in Jersey listening to punk / ska / reggae
Roy Nacho those are hooker boots. 10 holes is the way to go
Most of my life and I've just discovered this gem through Chelsea fc ahah... sums up london perfectly.
Thats Wolves got so worked up when they beat you 4-1 as they started playing it in 1970
68 years old and I am still infatuated with this melody. As the theme tune to the TV series Death in Paradise it brought all back to me.
It is not the theme song of Death in Paradise, 'You're wondering now' is the theme song. It is featured in the series though. Great song 👍
You can never go wrong with a Trojan Records release! Classic reggae summer vibe!
I was 11 yrs old when I heard this song, every evening religiously it would come on the jukebox as soon as I came off the bus to head on home, not to far from the pub, and I still love it. I am over 60 and still love it. It's like my anthem. Just love it, brings back lovely memories. I can hear it over and over.
Why didn’t you just simply download it on iTunes or access via Spotify?

Not gonna tell you my age but I love this. Never gets old.
Nor me 😊, it’s just plain old good music 😎😎
One of the greatest instrumental ever recorded. 🎼🎶🎵🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It wasn’t originally an instrumental but I agree ☝️
"I'll Take You There" by the Staple Singer (1972) used this song on the intro. I dedicate this tune the Windrush trail blazers who changed Britain forever.
Actually Stax 'borrowed' the song almost in its entirety for "Take You There'. If you listen to this you'll hear the bass line is the same, the melody played on piano here is done on guitar on TYT. EVen the bridge where Mavis goes, "David, little David Easy here" is on this. Stax admitted they got the 'inspiration' from a song then Stax Pres. Al Bell heard while on vacation n Jamaica. Truth is out. One of Soul Musics finest moments is actually a Jamaican classic
YES TO THE WINDRUSH TRAILBLAZERS.....!!!
Correct!
@@charlesreed6780 so whatcha sayin' is, bruh, it wasn't just me lol. First time I heard the original was in '88, when Hitman Howie Tee/Chubb Rock (who both of Jamaican descent/cousins) sampled this & not knowing for years that this version was the original and not vice versa. I'm like Stax and/or The Staples had to have sto-, er, uh, 'borrowed' this
I learnt something new just now! Wow, I thought the intro sounded like the Staples Singers” I‘ll take you there” I had no idea the Staples Singers weren’t the original. Jamaicans are simply very creative people.
Just keep listening to all these classic tunes. Dont loose your soul in these times.
Still love this song,it never gets old.

Too far.

I'm in my 60's still love them!
in the 60s my parents had partys involving hundreds of Nigerians and Jamaican people and this with many more old tunes still got some on original labels

I love how at 0:48 the organist misses their cue lol.
1969 was a fantastic year for reggae instrumentals,led by this rhapsody.

Omg this takes me back to the 60s loved it ,love it still 😍
Pride of london ⭐⭐
2021 and this is still a absolute banger !
I remember this being played every week at hindley monoco in the early 1970s, rolling back the years
When I was 16, everytime I walked into The Oriel Youth Club, Carr Road, Northolt, this was playing.
First song of 2021 for me
I've been trying to find the name of this song for YEARS. Thank goodness for death in paradise.
+876beauty LOL.....I heard this song in the 80s for some ad about heart disease on TV- and for years no b'stard could tell me what is was.....until Chelsea got famous (sadly)
Wankers excuse me.

Wow, I've been locked down into a time machine, discovering the best from the past. Think I'll just stay here thank you.
And if you are a Chelsea ,You love this!
After all these years, I find out this is where the intro & bass line for the Staple Singers, "I Take You There," was taken from...I love this cut too.
jam brown General Public did a great remake of I’ll Take You There
According to David Katz, Family Man played it and Papa Staples flew down and bought it off him. Pay di man farward!
I knew that the moment I heard it.. US and UK music has long been influenced by Ska/Reggae, even the Beatles were doing it!
A classic never dated
timeless and as fresh today as ever wfh and getting distracted !!
proper music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Jamaican but I LOVE it! Have for 50 years!
