THIS IS FROM A 52 YEAR OLD WHITE LADY WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH ALTON'S MUSIC
WHEN I HEARD TOO LATE TO TURN BACK WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD, IN HACKNEY EAST LONDON. NEVER STOPPED LISTENING SINCE THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was you a skinhead or Rudegirl back in the day?
This is so very cool! Keep listening to the sweet old reggae music and the newbies but goodies like Romaine Virgo, Chronixx, Christopher Martin and Koffee !
I am 66 and fell in love with the music at 14 yrs old, still loving it 44 yrs on........ Never stopped playing this wonderful, deep, soulful music.....
Studio One was and still is in My book the Smooth Reggae Sound... Respect To The Masters 👑🙏🏽❣️
Music has no colors. There is a piece of every type of music we can all relate to...regardless of genre, country of origin or even language. Once you open your ears to the stories it's easy to realize we are all very similar. Tech has made it easier to connect to different generations and I'm glad we are here together. Alton is greatness! Keep it up, Jeannie. We are all distant neighbors.
Very privileged to have known and met this great icon. My daughter and his daughter were good friends at school also. What a legend
Everytime I hear this song of Alton Ellis, I start to cry……my gosh, this song catches ya….
When a song catches ya, you know it’s a masterpiece.!!
אני כורתת חסימה ספיאשוילי הזקנה. את הראש וישר אחרי מהשמים אבא שלה משפיך לה לתוך הפה☺️
these guys and their tunes changed the course of my life. these vibrations, to those that really hear them, are forever impacted.
One of the true kings of reggae - many people worldwide don't even know his name.
believers do mon!
If there was youtube back then, this legend would have had millions of views.
RIP MY GRANDFATHER SIR ALTON ELLIS...
Much respect to your grandfather, he's one of my idols in music!

Big up Grand Pappy King Elton. Blessed voice.
famous 20music sorry to hear your grandad passing remember his music lives on in everybody’s hearts an extremely gifted man he was xx
i use to work for Sir COxson DOdd at his Fulton street recording studio as a Artist and Audio Engineer. He used to call me Panama Rude Boi. He introduced me to Jamaican Rum and Milk!!! LoL He was a great man and Great Teacher!!
This is one of Jamaica less talk about musical icon ,rest in peace Mr. Alton number one Ellis.
There's a reason Alton Ellis is the true Godfather of Rocksteady......
hoyabull.Right i was just thinking the same thing as i'm going through his music, guess I'm not the only one.
Oui mon frère. ..ta raisonne. ...😊😁
Amen Bro!

♥♥♥ This music is my heart. One love my beautiful Jamaica. 🇯🇲
We are being robbed of music Beautiful music, where musicians really sat and created music from the soul
This is why Alton is the daddy...wicked tune and the riddim is a dancehall classic. Many sound systems drew this on their sets.
One of my all-time favourite tracks from the Father himself. One killer riddim this is, quite a few versions out there, the stand out being Sugar Minott's "Never Give Jah Up".
I’m an Alto Ellis fan for all times! You can hear and feel his heart is on his sleeve as he goes.....Even in that Dance Crasher.
And he is on live...whooh!!!!
Alton it HURTS ME SO❤💔Your gone our LEGEND
My Love is so Strong
Just.Love this song so much❤Love You Always
Rest on our Legend ❤
The greats will never be forgotten! Keep them alive...pay salute.....citation....and remembrance! Peace n love every time!
Classical songs like these can never die
Que hermosa voz,que hermosa melodía,que hermosa letra .Que hermoso todo no hay palabras para describir a tremenda canción.

Am 29 and me a tell yall ,we no have reggae like this no more...I love love love this song...
The "flute" solo is actually much later "add-on" played on a synthesizer. However done with a good taste. The 1969 original is a couple of minutes shorter. This extended version with the flute-like synth solo was released on the 1995 CD version of the album.
Just for your information, it doesn't diminish the greatness of the original a bit, in my opinion.
Cheers.
Yes Juha, you are correct. There is also a different cut with vocal by Alton & Hortense, wherein Alton's vocal is very slightly differently phrased, so I assume he sang it back with Hortense later. I also love the 12", but my favorite is the great Lennie Hibbert vibes cut. The synth here sounds more like whistling, rather than a flute per se. All best wishes to all the Helsinki massive /steve
this is not the version I use to dance to in the Blues,Shabeens so many years ago.I am 66 now still c
oming back for my old time music
Thank you... I came to the comments to ask about that "flute" to find that you already answered the question. Nice one.
Tx Juha Vaahtera..
+5 for knowing your stuff, +10 for sharing it ;)
Thanks for that info, the addition of the flute was beautiful, nuff rewind.
Alton is legendary no one can test
beautiful melody to listen to near the sea in summer having a drink
Yez
Yes! Very relaxing.. :)
R.I.P Alton Ellis, really missed by us
Who is here in 2024
I'm still listening, big tune
such a tune, my boy used to cry when i played this, real emotion catches you whatever age
shit i cry every time i hear this even as i type this. not for no ex but for the fact this man is gone. and reggae is shit now.
I feel u. So Soulful 💯 RIP
Such a small island...Soo much big talent , these singers had Fame in there own right but I think it's worthy to mention most made way less than they truly deserved , compared to black Soul artist in America at the time .... Jamaican musicians made music for the people and stayed humble
Definitely agree with you Dora. 👍👍 It's such a shame they were never paid what they truly deserved. All I know is Jamaican singers and musicians set the standard for great music worldwide. 👍👍🤗🤗💕💕
Many of the top musicians of era were from other Caribbean nations, Lynn Taitt, Trinidad, Tommy Mccook and Roland Alphonso. Cuba, Jackie Opel, Barbados, Hugh Malcolm, Panama. Rita Marley was also Cuban.
Agreed with most ! But still have mention Cuban by birth. Jamaican parents and culture to the bone . Just saying ❤🇯🇲
You can’t beat old school ska /rocksteady just love it
The late great Alton Ellis...when you have the articulation to put those emotions into a song...genius!! When music was music!!
Sublime! You may be gone, sweet Alton, but your voice lives on. Niven D.
The flute solo caught me by surprise, never heard it before. Rewind!
I know Alton Ellis niece and some of his kids while I was living in Trench Town this man's song is pure hits never can get tired of listening.
When you turned
And you walked through that door
It hurt me so
Said it hurt me so
When you looked at me
And you said goodbye
You made me cry
Said you made me cry
So listen to me
While I say to you
Breaking up, is hard to do
Breaking up, is hard to do
I cannot let you go now
For my love is strong
My love, is so strong
My love, is so strong
So listen to me
While I say to you
Breaking up, is hard to do
Breaking up, is hard to do
(..)
When you looked at me
And you said goodbye
You made me cry
I said you made me cry
I cannot let you go
For my love is so strong
My love, is so strong
And if you leave, I will surely die
So listen to me
While I say to you
Breaking up, is hard to do
Breaking up, is hard to do
This song hits really hard..it takes you way back and have those tears rolling
One of the best reggae singers that's music shall forever live on .
rock steady
Ska rock steady my friend
When we was growing up in Kingston Jamaica we never called it rock steady or ska my friends, we called it as we knew it to be Reggae Music and thats the name it will always have n will always be, at ''Studio 1'' i never heard anyone or Alton called it rock steady or ska, it was originally Reggae Music, and will always be reggae music to us Jamaicans, ska and rock steady are totally different music. 1Love Kings and Queens.
@@stacklargeempireent.320 You sound totally clueless. This is rock steady and so were most of Alton Ellis' songs. Reggae grew out of rock steady and rock steady grew out of ska.
Listening January 2020

Whenever I feel bored, sad , tired or just plain in the mood for some smooth reggae sound I play this version of "Breaking up.........."
Priceless!!
I'm feeling very good when i play these records i want to thank you You Tube, for making this possible .
This type of music cannot be forgotten. Good music from Jamaica.❤🔥 still hot and grovey.
One of the most perfect songs ever
Few songs conjure the feelings that this one does for me.
"You listen to me while I say to you..."
Ah so the foundations of roots were laid. The great, immortal Alton Ellis. Rest in peace Bredda.
26 people have never known love... Or good music, for that matter.
“ The IMMORTAL Alton Ellis! This LEGENDARY ARTIST Will LIVE FOREVER!”
One of the best vocalists ever. So many sweet, sweet tunes.

Big Rocksteady classic right here. Been covered a million times, but none can test the original
When you turn and you walk through that door
It hurts me sore, said it hurts me sore
When you look at me and you say 'Good bye'
You made me cry, said you made me cry
So listen to me, what I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do
Everybody know, breaking up is hard to do
I cannot let you go now
For my love is strong
My love is so strong now
My love is so strong
So listen to me, what I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do
Breaking up is hard to do
If you've ever been in night(?)
Then you'll know just what I'm talking about
You wake up and you find your love is gone
And you realize breaking up is so hard to do
When you look at me and you say 'Good bye'
You made me cry - I said you made me cry
I cannot let you go
For my love is so strong
My love is so strong
And if you leave I will surely die
So listen to me, what I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do
Everybody know, breaking up is hard to do...
When you turned
And you walked through that door
It hurt me so
Said it hurt me so
When you looked at me
And you said goodbye
You made me cry
Said you made me cry
So listen to me
While I say to you
Breaking up, is hard to do
Breaking up, is hard to do
I cannot let you go now
For my love is strong
My love, is so strong
My love, is so strong
So listen to me
While I say to you
Breaking up, is hard to do
Breaking up, is hard to do

been loving this tune for over 45 years, and not heard this version with flute before - and I like it, I like it a lot !!!
It's rare to hear this version with the flute, hauntingly beautiful isn't it
Think it's an extended version that's y it's hardly played but when it does it just digs into your heart and soul, can't stop playing it
Thanks Alton Ellis these memories.
Alton. Ellis!
A true master, take me away Alton Ellis. 👍
I love this song, that's all i have to say :)
Oh the memories hearing this brings back 😊 The Locarno Club Birmingham as a 17 year old enjoyinng life and experiencing first love (Joe).. Fantastic times.
From A 54 year old Jamaican girl who was born in Hackney East London I agree with you> I LOVE ALTON ELLIS.
I heard him first when my family moved to Kingston Jamaica. DANCE CRASHERS. I was 7 years old.
Classic, I thank God the day you tube was formed because I can only get to listen to these old hits but goodies on you tube.
Nuff respect Alton E also bless up Coxane I remember when he gave me album to record on at his Bklyn record studio Bless up Panamanians and Jamaicans
Listening today timeless , makes my souls smile .
take it from the top down to very last drop, Sundays in my sunshine island were the best!!!
This song never gets old 😭😭
Lennie Hibbert's cut "Montego Rock" is just awesome. Sugar Minott 's "Give Me Jah Jah" is legendary. The riddim is just wicked. The Sound Dimension at the very top of their game.
Memories with parents!!🇯🇲🙏🏿
I love all of them old great Jamaican Talents …great people …great musicians …Just wow 🤩
I play this song over and over. It's a pity this version is not available on spotify. Bless
Still listening 2019 Rocksteady 🎼🎸🎤
i love listening to Alton music, just magical
I wish people stopped telling their race, when they leave a comment. people are people and music is music. regardless who you are and regardless what you listen to.
remember those days when you n ur partner holds onto each tight dancing hoping the music wouldn't stop
One of my favourites had him on two shows at only 29 years old. He was a gentleman and a true professional. He performed twice with his sister Hortense. Classic...Thanks for the memories. Ellis family.
I don't know what to say RIP, legend, we'll never forget you
Hit forever

This song is so deep na tell no lie this truth the pain of someone leaving you who truly love with all your soul and HEART ❤holding on 2 them as they dragging away from you thAN A BELL ring in your mind and it say time let go and let god have them.
