Lots of folks have done it but the Mayfield similarity would most likely be Van Dykes on Hue and Mala

 

1965 though

As every fan of Jamaican made music knows, Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions were viewed as being GODS by the majority of reggae singers / musicians.

Too many CM song reggae cover versions to even try to list them all.

As the Van Dykes track had such an Impressions feel to it, no doubt some aspiring Kingston singer (or their producer) thought it would be a great idea to do a cover of the song. 

If Pete S can't come up with an issued version of the song, I guess it never did escape on anything other than an acetate (probably an exclusive made for a sound system that was not taken any further back in the day).

Hi Simon

 

Would you be meaning the LP-Only version by Jesse Harrison that a few quality crossovery type DJ's are currently playing?

Hi there Steve it's an uncredeted Jamaican acetate single sided with no info , was done around 70/71 when I get back from work I'll listen to the J.Harrison to compare it thanks for your help regards S.
