The history of Blind Faith, that featured Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech, is a quick story. The group only released one record in 1969, and the group's self titled record shot to #1 in the U.S. airplay charts in August 1969, achieving platinum sales status, also hit #1 on the U.K. airplay charts in September of that year and achieved Gold sales status there.
The original cover, featured above, was banned in some countries and created a bit of social outrage in some corners, which did not hurt sales and made it more collectible when the record labels made changes to circumvent the bans.
Below are a two songs from Blind Faith's debut when they performed at a free concert in London's Hyde Park on June 7, 1969.

Here is the coolest all time cover song performance of The Temptations song titled (You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back.
It was done in 1978 as a duet for a Peter Tosh record titled Bush Doctor. Tosh was one of the earliest pioneers engaged in a life long campaign to decriminalize marijuana, coining the phrase "Legalize It" several decades ago when it was routine for people to be imprisoned indefinitely for possession of a seed or a leaf.
Mick Jagger appears in the duet. Peter Tosh was not widely known at the time of the release, but things changed because of the traction of this particular recording, which was the lead single for the album's release.
It's such a inspiring song to begin with, so well written, that may help some move on in life, look forward and don't look back when things are not working. Mick Jagger helps cast a groove and a spell that he is so famous for. Listening to this song turned up is bliss.
The video was not slick by future standards, but it appears that the video was a filming of the actual vocal take for Tosh and Jagger, or else Mick is excellent at lip-sync.

In 1995, Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers did what comes natural when you are independent in spirit, perhaps the way Bob Marley instilled. The group established their own label with offices out of Tuff Gong in Jamaica and called it, Ghetto Youths United. That label inked a record deal outside of the Caribbean with Elektra Records to release their album titled Free Like We Want 2 B.
Ziggy's album from that year peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart.
Just below is a excellent live version of the album's opening track titled Power To Move Ya, beautifully arranged with the musicians and the backing vocals so perfectly tight. It's a timeless sound. They successfully cast a spell. Turn it up!

A interesting story to many might be the fact that Tuff Gong, the label that Bob Marley originally founded in 1968 at what now is a museum at 56 Hope Road in Kingston Jamaica, is a globally connected enterprise led by one of the Melody Makers, sister of Ziggy and daughter of Bob, Cedella Marley. Tuff Gong that has long been known to distribute for several major labels, presently being the official Caribbean distributor of Disney, Universal and Warner Music Groups and other labels. If you follow their social networks, they constantly plug and expose a wide array of music from around the world and are have never-ending cool things happening across their network of family members projects. There are multiple Marley brands of substance being advanced such as Marley Natural and House of Marley, just to name two. And, Ziggy his own healthy product line called Ziggy Marley Organics. There is an intrinsic sort of integrity and quality that goes along with all the various offerings. There is a higher purpose.
