If we accept the Beatles She's a Woman, Obla di, (as Reggae influenced) then I think My Boy Lollypop by Milly was far more influential on a white mainstream, in the UK anyway.t

Best: Wyclef - Guantanamera remix with Beenie Man, though I like to think it's mostly Beenie's doing.

Is there a good place to read about the influence of reggae on 60s pop and vice-versa (the early Wailers did great Beatles and Dylan covers, after all)?
None of this falls under "worst reggae attempts"--sorry if I've steered this elsewhere.

"I'll Be Your Baby Tonight", 1990 model, is a Palmer / UB40 collaboration: got monstrous amount of UK airplay at the time. WHY?
Sinker, however, is on to something. "Dreadlock Holiday" second most hideous thing of the British 70s. Most hideous is an advert placed at the time for the album from which it comes. I'm saying no more.

Got a real soft spot for Laid Back "Sunshine Reggae" and Laid Back in general so I disagree with its inclusion near top of thread.
