That was released in 1975 as a single - I promoted a gig with DD in about 1969 & was struck by the lack of power in his vocals, so much so that I went over to another venue to check him out - same very low vocal power, which surprised me. I can only assume that there was an awful amount of backroom work on his records ...

I can't judge that, in any case, he has had quite a lot of success, above all with his song "Israelites"  and his Jimmy Cliff cover 1970 "You Can Get It If You Really Want".

I was just really irritated, it sounded familiar to me, melody, refrain and title. There is a German Schlagerhit from 1970 with the same title by Bata Illic.
If it had been a 1:1 cover, I would have run away...
But this version sounds a thousand times better, text changed, thanks to foreign language and reggae version.;) So I can give a goblet :)
