"Simmer Down," recorded by the young Wailers for Coxsone Dodd's Studio One in 1964, was the group's first major Jamaican hit, a ska number addressed to the restless youth of Kingston's tougher districts. Backed by the Skatalites, it announced Bob Marley's arrival as a singer of consequence. The cited source documents the 1964 Wailers recording.
