Bob Marley was a big fan of the album when it was released, and with The Wailers covered "I've Got To Cry Cry Cry" (as My Cup) as well as using "Say It Loud" as the basis for his own "Black Progress". He also used some lyrics from "Licking Stick" in "Soul Shakedown Party", some from "I Love You" in "Do It Twice", and some from "Let Them Talk" in "Soul Rebel".
