	This is probably Charlie Chaplin�s best-known Jamaican hit, and with good reason. It�s one of the best uses of the extremely popular �Heavenless� riddim, cribbed from the old Don Drummond Jr. hit and used by Chaplin on several other cuts, like �Town Gal.� A tribute to �natty dreads� keeping the conscious faith -- like Chaplin, who�d keep on singing praises to righteous Rastas long after the fashions had changed -- it benefits from Chaplin�s hypnotic delivery. Not a gritty toaster like Yellowman or Josey Wales, his main competition, Chaplin�s vocals are a perfect match for the calmly powerful bass and drums of �Heavenless� (no wonder he versioned this riddim more than once!) creating a dignified moment of classic dancehall.
