Master Blaster (Jammin') stayed at number #1 on the Billboard R&B charts for seven weeks.
Some critics say the Marley's song Jammin' inspired this songs title.
"I bet you if someone approached you yesterday
To tell you that you would be jammin'
You would not believe it
They would be jammin' thought that you'd be jammin'".
