Lead vocals by Bob Marley, harmonies by Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
Backing by Dwight Pinkney and „The Sharks“ following Bunny Wailer´s opinion, or backing by „The Soul Brothers“ following C.S. Dodd´s opinion.

„The Sharks“ are: Alfred Crossley on bass, Lloyd Robinson on drums, Danny Mc Farlane on keyboards and Dwight Pinkney on guitar. Dwight Pinkney, born 1945, is now famous for being the guitarist of „The Roots Radics“.
