Let's rewind a bit, so in reggae circles when did the cover or 'mashup' all start? The early sixties to late 70's be precise with Coxsone, Bunny, Kong and Perry mixed direct influences of 60s Soul, R&B, Motown, Rock and Jazz. Re-interperating tunes from Curtis, Syl, Jagger, Franklin and Brubeck with JA's top vocal harmony talents of the day it truly was a remarkable combination that continues in reggae up to this day.
