Love Me Forever riddim

Well supported

Studio One rocksteady rhythm from Carlton & the Shoes' 1968 "Love Me Forever," produced by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd; its companion B-side "Happy Land" supplied the melodic seed for the Abyssinians' "Satta Massagana," and the rhythm stayed in the Studio One versioning stock.
