He played on such classics as Desmond Dekker’s “Israelites”, and Toots’s “Pressure Drop”. His work on the Alton Ellis 1967 song “Girl I’ve Got a Date”’is a foundational rocksteady bassline. #RIPJackieJackson m.youtube.com/watch?v=UMd8...m.youtube.comAlton Ellis - Girl I've Got A DateYouTube video by JABLESPANOL 15721
