The Soul of Reggae w/ Undercover

The recent passing of Aretha Franklin (RIP) got me thinking how much influence she had on reggae over the years. In the end I could only find a few obvious covers, but I did connect the dots on a bunch more wicked soul and funk influenced rocksteady and reggae covers. Mostly from Studio One, you can see how well the soul crossed over and became an essence of the reggae vocal, and beat.
