The Beatles performed "Don't Let Me Down" twice during their rooftop concert of 30 January 1969, and the first performance was included in the Let It Be (1970) film, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg Naked. In 1969, Dillard & Clark covered the song on their album Through the Morning, Through the Night. In 1969, Marcia Griffiths did a reggae version. In 1970, Ben E. King covered the song on his Rough Edges album. In 1971, Charlotte Dada recorded an afro-rhythm version in Ghana. On her 1977 album It Looks Like Snow, Phoebe Snow covered this song.
Marcia Griffiths made her debut with the group on the album Natty Dread and became a crucial presence in the Wailers’ stage and recording line-up until Marley’s death in 1981. The I-Threes however became a successful recording group in their own right by releasing the albums Beginning in 1983, and Songs of Bob Marley in 1995. Marcia Griffiths had some surprisingly surrealistic psychedelic songs from the get go, when she started her set. The festival was in love with what they were hearing. I was having a great time jamming with the people around me, and spreading the good vibes. The Reggae that Marcia crafts is very trippy, passionate, soulful, and blanketed with some radical, blues inspired lyrics. The mood is relatively mellow, but with dance-ability and a fun outlook.
