For a song which has aped its way from Jamaica, into the
United Kingdom and eventually across the globe, "
Monkey Man" has had a pretty colored history. Originally a tribute to the great producer
Leslie Kong,
Toots and the Maytals first recorded the song around 1969. It has since been widely covered, with the version of
The Specials arguably being the most popular, and the version of
Amy Winehouse being the most recent of any significance.
Here's the money shot. Tirso Cruz III (yes, that's PIP for you, you Filipino expats in Singapore) has his own version. This one's for those monkeys out there… big big monkey men. And yes, the sound quality on the rip is not very good… get the vinyl. :P CHEERS!
