"Cant Work No Longer"? Seems tailor made for a killer ska/rocksteady cover...are there any Jamaican versions of this song?I cant direct link to the tune at this moment...but you can listen to it on the player of the my radio show myspace page... http://www.myspace.com/inthebasementwevlwhatta track...

    The Bluebeats did a version on Respect Due which came out in 2004 but sounds about 64...

    This is supposed to be a tribute album, so maybe there's an older one...

    Delroy Wilson does a version on his 1977 Clocktower LP
    "Money" where it's retitled "Got to See My Baby" ... and
    for the record, I think the Billy Butler version is better
    than the Impressions, as good as their version is.

    which one has the "AAH, AHH-AHHH, AH, AHHH AH" intro?

    i love that intro, but i swear i prefer the vocal take on whatever the OTHER one is....

    I have the Billy also, but I dig the Impressions more...that next-level curtis guitar lick that was simplified for the Billy Butler version is awesome and the minor keyed group vocal is killer...The Impressions one is killing me.
