Jackson also played on many Hi Records tracks including Al Green's great 70's sides. He was murdered by intruders in his house after returning home from watching the Frazier-Ali fight at a theater.

I first heard this on a Trojan comp in the early 80's and thought the beginning was a rip on the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There".
Found out years later that the Staples based their song on "Liquidator" which they had heard while touring Jamaica.

Beatles covered this a year later. As a kid listening to Beatles records in the 70's and 80's I always thought that their R&B covers were "oldies" to them, but that clearly wasn't the case.

Nothing against the Mary Tyler Moore theme, but seems like "I Fought the Law" should have gotten the headline.

I knew of the original Streisand tune in high school when it was a hit. I've owned the reggae version for many years (on Pressure Sounds "Crowning of Prince Jammy" comp that I bought in `97). Didn't realize it was a cover until just a few months ago. Knew I'd heard that melody somewhere...
