Agree with Kalcidis there! If it's that tune you're after, apart from the dub and Sly Dunbar's version, others were by Sizzla, Sandeeno, Ebony Sisters and Big Red I think.

"all the things they say and the things they do,can't stop me from loving you.
all the try they try to see the reason why can't stop me from loving you oh
i know myself
when you find the way you can find peace in all things
violence,hostility shall disappear from being
when you re truly one with your brothers
oh yeah you don't have to prove yourself with others oh yeah
i know myself before i love you
you got to know yerself before you love me girl"
this song drove me crazy day in day out for months when i first listened to it
;inded ernest sings with such a soulful and heart wrenching delivery
i wondered why he didn't really surface as a great vocalist among the 70's vintage ja vocalists
he was a member of the clarendonians alongide freddie mc gregor and fabian cooke the drummer that performed with the congoes and latter with the bullwackie crew in new yorksly dunbar's version called "a who say"with this beutiful sax by deadly headly as also wonderful

We're all talking about Ernest Wilson. That cut is probably most readily available here these days:
