This could be the most relentlessly cheerful song ever. I don't know what it is about reggae that lets a song featuring the nursery-rhyme chorus of "Everyday I love her just a little bit more/Your love is my love and my love is your love" escape my finely honed, withering derision, but somehow it's impossible to hate on this. Of course, "She's Mine"is one of Barrington Levy's biggest and most, um, beloved hits from the glory days of late '80s dancehall, an undisputed part of any of his greatest hits collections and live shows to this day. This is the very cool and seldom seen picture sleeve 12-inch, complete with extended dub version. And yes, these are originals.
