Originally a big hit in early 1975 for Jamaican Stanley Beckford under the name The Starlights (or The Starlights featuring Stanley Beckford),[2] he is often not credited due to the lack of copyright in Jamaica at the time.
AMG's Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Hall & Oates' cover, from the album Daryl Hall & John Oates released in late 1975, as, "fall[ing] flat," and, "reggae tinged."[3]

gollark: Lowercase and pronounceable!
