Jamaican R&B Never Ends

Phil Philips' R&B jam, "Sea of Love," was also covered by the Heptones, a Jamaican ska and reggae from in the 1960s.

Here is the original 1959 version of the song:

It's standard doo wop/R&B of the 1950s, but with an amazing vocalist and great melody

Here is the Heptones' version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wHb-SH2skE&feature=related
They change it up a bit with the reggae beat and their accented vocals are definitely not as pleasing as Phil Phillips.
