THIS IS FROM A 52 YEAR OLD WHITE LADY WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH ALTON'S MUSIC WHEN I HEARD TOO LATE TO TURN BACK WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD, IN HACKNEY EAST LONDON. NEVER STOPPED LISTENING SINCE THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very privileged to have known and met this great icon. My daughter and his daughter were good friends at school also. What a legend

♥♥♥ This music is my heart. One love my beautiful Jamaica. 🇯🇲

Everytime I hear this song of Alton Ellis, I start to cry……my gosh, this song catches ya…. When a song catches ya, you know it’s a masterpiece.!!

One of the true kings of reggae - many people worldwide don't even know his name.

these guys and their tunes changed the course of my life. these vibrations, to those that really hear them, are forever impacted.

I love all of them old great Jamaican Talents …great people …great musicians …Just wow 🤩

One of the best vocalists ever. So many sweet, sweet tunes.

Great example of his great smooth style . Fantastic band .

I’m an Alto Ellis fan for all times! You can hear and feel his heart is on his sleeve as he goes.....Even in that Dance Crasher. And he is on live...whooh!!!!

A true master, take me away Alton Ellis. 👍

The voice of sweet jamaica

The flute solo caught me by surprise, never heard it before. Rewind!

The best of reggae this man 🔥🔥🔥 RIP ALTON ELLIS 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

My dad play this song almost every Saturday back in the days 😁😁😁

“ The IMMORTAL Alton Ellis! This LEGENDARY ARTIST Will LIVE FOREVER!”

One of my all-time favourite tracks from the Father himself. One killer riddim this is, quite a few versions out there, the stand out being Sugar Minott's "Never Give Jah Up".

A voice like no other...... RIP Mr Ellis....2019

Love his voice..he killed this song!!!!!!!👍👍👊

This is why Alton is the daddy...wicked tune and the riddim is a dancehall classic. Many sound systems drew this on their sets.

The late great Alton Ellis...when you have the articulation to put those emotions into a song...genius!! When music was music!!

Whenever I feel bored, sad , tired or just plain in the mood for some smooth reggae sound I play this version of "Breaking up.........." Priceless!!

Just discovered Alton Ellis... amazing

Reggae music is and always will be the rocking music that gets you grooving. The greatest music that everyone wants to and tries to copy. Long live reggae.🤗👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕💕💕💃💃💃💃🤗🤗🤗🤗

Reggae legend and a mentor to DW. Forever loving Mr Rock Steady.

Alton is legendary no one can test

Classic, I thank God the day you tube was formed because I can only get to listen to these old hits but goodies on you tube.

Sublime! You may be gone, sweet Alton, but your voice lives on. Niven D.

Amor profundo ❤️ é o que sinto , sou fã

I love me some Bob Marley but this guy here is second to none to me he is just as equal or better than Bob rest in peace mr. Ellis

beautiful melody to listen to near the sea in summer having a drink

I'm feeling very good when i play these records i want to thank you You Tube, for making this possible .

From A 54 year old Jamaican girl who was born in Hackney East London I agree with you> I LOVE ALTON ELLIS. I heard him first when my family moved to Kingston Jamaica. DANCE CRASHERS. I was 7 years old.

Am loving this song 2023

And what a lovely person he was.

Memories with parents!!🇯🇲🙏🏿

Oh the memories hearing this brings back 😊 The Locarno Club Birmingham as a 17 year old enjoyinng life and experiencing first love (Joe).. Fantastic times.

Such a small island...Soo much big talent , these singers had Fame in there own right but I think it's worthy to mention most made way less than they truly deserved , compared to black Soul artist in America at the time .... Jamaican musicians made music for the people and stayed humble

Boy it's so hard to do, it's been three months now since she decided to part ways from us, but I'm still in love with her taking it a day at a time. Big song Alton.

Ah so the foundations of roots were laid. The great, immortal Alton Ellis. Rest in peace Bredda.

Back in the days house -parties , blues , shubbeen ...alton ellis wicked singer memories good old days....x

This song never gets old 😭😭

One of the best reggae singers that's music shall forever live on .

These songs can't get old love it love it

I love this song, that's all i have to say :)

sugar minott brought me here🎶 Jah bless!💚💛💘

The "flute" solo is actually much later "add-on" played on a synthesizer. However done with a good taste. The 1969 original is a couple of minutes shorter. This extended version with the flute-like synth solo was released on the 1995 CD version of the album. Just for your information, it doesn't diminish the greatness of the original a bit, in my opinion. Cheers.

One of my favourites had him on two shows at only 29 years old. He was a gentleman and a true professional. He performed twice with his sister Hortense. Classic...Thanks for the memories. Ellis family.

When you turned And you walked through that door It hurt me so Said it hurt me so When you looked at me And you said goodbye You made me cry Said you made me cry So listen to me While I say to you Breaking up, is hard to do Breaking up, is hard to do I cannot let you go now For my love is strong My love, is so strong My love, is so strong So listen to me While I say to you Breaking up, is hard to do Breaking up, is hard to do (..) When you looked at me And you said goodbye You made me cry I said you made me cry I cannot let you go For my love is so strong My love, is so strong And if you leave, I will surely die So listen to me While I say to you Breaking up, is hard to do Breaking up, is hard to do

i love listening to Alton music, just magical

My love is so strong! Irie from Colombia

When Jamaica had real artists these tunez are from my mother's era the best and they knew it

Lennie Hibbert's cut "Montego Rock" is just awesome. Sugar Minott 's "Give Me Jah Jah" is legendary. The riddim is just wicked. The Sound Dimension at the very top of their game.

26 people have never known love... Or good music, for that matter.
