Riddim question

I'm wondering who made the first version of the riddim "Quiet Place" aka "Man Next Door". I think that it was Dennis Brown but only because i saw it on a "Trojan Originals Boxset". I came in big doubt when i saw that The Paragons had recorded a version and since The Paragons made songs earlier that Dennis Brown i really didnt know! So please help a roots lover!

Big big tune by the way!
