I love this song. Paul Rodgers, formerly of the bands Free and Bad Company and The Firm, and currently fronting the new Queen, here whilst on holiday in Jamaica in May 1972 just after Free had re-formed, plays a superb reggae song (written by Paul), "(I Just Wanna) See You Smile". This was recorded with the legendary reggae band 'The Maytals', all as described in the brilliant booklet that comes with the 5 CD box set "Free: Songs of Yesterday". Amazingly, he played this live in the 2006 PR concert tour when I saw him at the Lowry theatre in Manchester, but it was a less inspiring rock version in lieu of this reggae version. The rock version also appears on the DVD of the live concert in Glasgow from the same tour.
I compiled the video myself utilising footage downloaded from YouTube, occasionally with some of my own added effects and filters.
My plan here is to make available a few of my favourite recordings not easily available elsewhere.
