It's not often mentioned now, but in the middle of the 1990s there was a definite vogue for easy-going pop reggae, especially where it revived hits from the 1960s. Pato Banton had one of the biggest hits from this subgenre with his 1994 chart-topping version of 'Baby Come Back', and managed a few more crossover hits, of which this was the last.
'Groovin' wisely retains the charming harmonica melody of the original Young Rascals version, and Banton's appeal for positive vibes is likeable, but ultimately it doesn't entertain me greatly and I'd forgotten it entirely.
