Kingston's mom used to play the Motown legend's 1982 ballad when Sean was a kid. "I like Stevie's soft stuff - he's one of my biggest influences."

"It's heartfelt," Kingston says of the epic 1975 slow-burner, which he heard nonstop growing up, his grandfather Jack Ruby was one of Marley's producers.
