The single is taken from Marley’s JAD Records catalogue, after Marley had been discovered in Jamaica by Johnny Nash and JAD co-founder Danny Sims.
The lyrics were written by Mortimer Planno, who played a huge part in shaping Marley’s involvement in the Rastafarian religion and who met Haile Selassie when the former Emperor of Ethiopia visited Jamaica in 1966.
