I'm Still In Love With You - Alton Ellis

I'm Still In Love With You - Alton Ellis
3:21
Sings Rock and Soul, 1967
Written by Alton Ellis

A soft, crooning pop-reggae by the Godfather of Rocksteady.  A low-key declaration of unrequited love.  Why doesn't the girl know how to kiss him?  He doesn't even know why.  A gentle, jerking guitar riddim is punctuated by a single, clonking hand percussion, rather off the beat.  It's a slow dance of a song.  Possibly best enjoyed when mellow.
