Impressions vs Stylistics Soundclash in a JA Stylee

Independence Day. Well, that feeling is relative. Politricksters and Wall Street and greedy CEOs might feel that way... but, we've come a long way from the original concept.
But, for independent thinkers... have a pleasant Holiday.

Part of today's mix: a bloodless clash of rocksteady and reggae intrepretations of the most popular sounds to Jamaica... the Impressions (without whom, the Wailers would have been very different) and the Stylistics. Versions, Galore!
