Pablo's vocal on 'Earth Rightful Ruler' always sounds refreshing in it's own unique way.
Jackie Mittoo's 'Reggae Magic' (vocal) well worth a mention too, specially the amazing dubbed out sound found on the B side of the Studio One 7".

Incidentally, Summer Breeze was an original (afaik) by the Isley Brothers.

Actually it's a Seals & Crofts original....one of those songs that was *everywhere* when it came out in 1973. But I would like to hear The Isley's version, everything they touch pretty much becomes "their own".

I love Summer Breeze by Jackie.
Yet another instance of a reggae artist personalizing and vastly improving on a not so great original - in my opinion...
Bugaloo is great too.
Anyone know of more Jackie vocals?
Jackie Mittoo was just amazing and I wish he did more singing.
He really had it all. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with his voice.
Jimi Hendrix apparently didn't think much of his own voice - luckily he was pushed into singing and playing his heart out.
