Play It Cool - Alton Ellis

Play It Cool - Alton Ellis
2:39
single, 1977
Written by Alton Ellis

Another mid-tempo Rocksteady groove by Ellis.  I found one source for the year, but not much else; the original Jamaican single has almost no information.  This song is also known as "Rock On Time."  It's a laid back song about, I guess, taking it easy?  The lyrics are not exactly clear in the way rasta songs sometimes get.  "Without money I know / It really makes no difference / I've got love I know / Easy squeeze it makes no riot."  Well, that's hard to disagree with!
