Does anyone know reggae covers of George Gershwin's Summertime?

I only remember Errol Walkers' In These Times.

There is "Summer Time Rock Steady", a great instrumental rendition by Ernest Ranglin (album "A Mod Mod Ranglin" on K&K Records is NOT on roots-archives) :

This one has nothing to do with Gershwin's classic "Summertime".

It's a cover of Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime" hit.

Trojan issued the track on one of their (quantity over quality) box sets.
