ItРІР‚в„ўs tempting to suggest the track itself is oddly prescient: despite the title, thereРІР‚в„ўs something brooding and overcast about its sound, as if Marley didnРІР‚в„ўt quite have faith in the sentiment the lyrics were supposed to be espousing. Smile Jamaica was the theme song for the Kingston concert that almost got Marley killed РІР‚вЂњ he was shot by gunmen two days before the gig. ItРІР‚в„ўs tempting to call Johnny Was his answer to MayfieldРІР‚в„ўs FreddieРІР‚в„ўs Dead: an empathic examination of an accidental death (РІР‚Сљfrom a stray bulletРІР‚Сњ) that nevertheless has wider implications, the lushness of the harmonies at odds with the lyrics. MarleyРІР‚в„ўs great musical inspiration was Curtis Mayfield РІР‚вЂњ the young Wailers even copied the ImpressionsРІР‚в„ў poses in photos. MarleyРІР‚в„ўs pre-Island discography can be baffling РІР‚вЂњ umpteen releases, umpteen labels РІР‚вЂњ but the 00s box sets Fy-ah Fy-ah, Man to Man and Grooving Kingston 12 do a good job of sorting through it, revealing gems such as Caution: an odd, tremulous lead guitar, eerie harmonies on the chorus and a winning refrain of РІР‚Сљhit me from the top, you crazy mother-funkyРІР‚Сњ. Could You Be Loved?, meanwhile, allied MarleyРІР‚в„ўs sharp pop instinct to disco, with backing vocalists the I-Threes on particularly fine form. The Wailers were always musically open-minded РІР‚вЂњ in the 60s they covered everything from Bacharach and David to the ArchiesРІР‚в„ў Sugar Sugar, while 1971РІР‚в„ўs Lick Samba dabbled in Latin-American music.

Marley was not initially convinced by punk, but eventually recognised the denizens of the Roxy as kindred spirits РІР‚вЂњ РІР‚Сљrejected by societyРІР‚Сњ РІР‚вЂњ and threw in his lot on the exuberant Punky Reggae Party, which namechecks the Clash and the Damned and promises РІР‚Сљno boring old farts will be thereРІР‚Сњ at the titular event.

It is set to a lo-fi backing consisting of noticeably out-of-tune guitar and drums, which only serves to make the WailersРІР‚в„ў high harmonies more powerful. Selassie Is the Chapel is like nothing else Marley recorded, in effect a doo-wop song given a Rastafarian twist. Tellingly, given the socio-political songs that lay ahead of him, Marley focuses on the deprived circumstances that birthed the phenomenon: РІР‚СљWant it want it РІР‚вЂњ canРІР‚в„ўt get it, get it get it РІР‚вЂњ no want it.РІР‚Сњ The ska-era Wailers launch themselves into the 60s Jamaican vogue for singles either praising or condemning the violent Kingston РІР‚Сљrude boyРІР‚Сњ youth cult.
