Double Barrel

"Double Barrel" is a 1970 reggae single by Dave and Ansell Collins, the second reggae tune to top the charts in the UK, two years after Desmond Dekker's No. 1 ska breakthrough hit "Israelites". The record, credited in both the UK and the U.S. to 'Dave and Ansil Collins', reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for the first two weeks in May 1971. In the U.S., "Double Barrel" peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 7 August 1971 and number 4 on WLS on 28 June 1971, two years to the week after "Israelites" peaked at the same position on the same chart.
