At least 60 years ago this song was created and it's amazing that I enjoy it in 2022. My grandparents were lucky to hear this good music in their youth.
As a 23yo this is what I grew up listening to and still listening in 2018, can listen to this on repeat its not long enough! Rest easy Alton Ellis 🇯🇲🙏🌍
Damn so smooth! these old tracks are the best, rocksteady is a special groove in the reggea world. Heptones sea of love album blew my rocksteady mind! roots music is the best!
It's a shame, the way you mess around with your man It's a shame, the way you hurt me It's a shame The way you mess around with your man You're like a child at play on a sunny day With you play toy that you throw away It's a shame (sha-ame) The way you mess around with your man It's a shame (sha-ame) The way you play with my emotions It's a shame (sha-ame) The way you mess around with your man I try to stay with you, give you love so true You don't appreciate the love I try to make It's a (sha-ame, oooh-oooh) (Sha-ame, oooh-oooh) (Sha-ame, oooh-oooh) (Sha-ame, oooh-oooh) It's a shame (sha-ame) The way you mess around with your man It's a shame (sha-ame) The way you hurt me It's a shame (sha-ame) The way you mess around with your man I try to give you love, give you love I try to stay with you, give you love so true You don't appreciate, the love I try to make It's a shame (sha-ame) Got to be a shame, the way you to hurt me, baby Oh, got to be a shame, the way you to hurt me, ooh yes Oh (sha-ame), the way you mess around..
trovare sample dell' hip hop italiano nella musica di tutto il mondo ci fa capire come siamo tutti fratelli e la musica è fratellanza universale in tutti i suoi generi...PACE
This is one of those versions in which the original commands you to kinda dance your sadness away to, this version is more made to quietly weep along to when you lose the one you love. stunning.
thanks for keeping this one up! and an eternal thank you to Alton himself! One L♥e from and on the behalf of all the S.H.A.R.P's still groovin' to your tunes, still wearing tun-ups, teal-toes boots & braces and who're still fighting both with both intellect, smarts and bare knuckles, struggling each day with every ounce of our body n soul for a new world order governed by principles of absolute love, peace and equality & justice for all, here in Malmo, Sweden! Dancehall/Rocksteady never died!

ProudKansan08 bro, you just stumbled on gold. look up his timeless classics "I'm still in love with you" , "I'm just a guy" and I'll never fall in love" also other covers such as "what does it take" and "breaking up is hard to do"
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man You're like a child at play on a sunny day But you play with love and then you throw it away It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you play with my emotions It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man Why do you use me try to confuse me How can you stand to be so cruel Why don't you free me from this prison Where I serve my time as your fool It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man I try to stay with you show you love so true But you won't appreciate the love we try to make Oh, it's-a got to be a shame [repeat bridge] Got to be a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man Ohhh, it's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man You've got my heart in chains and I must complain I just can't be content oh, look at (unintelligible GENIUS.COM
First I've heard this version! Had the pleasure of working with him. One of the few times I've been star struck. Only Bunny and Peter that I can remember. (never worked with them) Its a shame shame shame. One Love
Driving down leucadia into Solana beach on a lovely Sunday afternoon circa late 90s. To go pick up some more sides at Lou's records. I miss those times and I miss my bro.
I smoked for around two years before I encountered Alton Ellis nd I have a simple question, how was it even possible to spark a spliff without this man?!?!
Oh this it sun shines on Sunday in shines in all its awe warming the crisp winter air it streams like a golden breeze sunshine sunshine make me smile and burn these sky blue feelings do kiss me with your might you’ll always be a reminder; a reminder that night is not here a reminder that you bring possibility a reminder that everyday you shine I wake and fall to you, the first greeting of the day So thank you sunshine.
I can't remember where and who remix this song just using the first words,and the title as well, "it's a shame" and the very first riff. Lots of gratitude to everyone can answer my question!
Maybe you're thinking of Monie Love's hip hop version from the early 1990s? It used a sample from the original recording of the song (by the Spinners), and a female vocalist singing the chorus.
