You’re the Best Thing

Daynea Deacon’s version appears on the 2010 Afrojam compilation 80’s Go Reggae as a reggae cover of Paul Weller’s 1984 song. The release credits the track to Daynea Deacon and lists it as 4:20 in length. The recording extended The Style Council’s song into a reggae compilation context, recasting a well-known 1980s pop track for a new audience. It stood alongside other contemporary cover versions on 80’s Go Reggae. The track kept the song in circulation through a digital-era cover recording associated with Afrojam’s 80’s Go Reggae series. It reflects the continuing appeal of Paul Weller’s composition beyond its original post-punk/soul-pop setting.
