I love that song and I love Marley, so I can’t believe I missed him singing it. I don’ think he did. Every search turns up the UB40 version misattributed to Marley.\* The song was written and originally recorded by Neil Diamond. \*It appears pretty common for any reggae sounding song to be attributed to Marley. ---

There are several Genesis songs that reference tea, as in _(Harold the Barrel) cut off his toes and he served them all for tea_ And for wine there’s the Eagles’ “Hotel California”: _So I called up the captain, ’please bring me my wine’ He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’_ ---
