UB40 took "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)", the Al Green song he wrote with Teenie Hodges, and eased it into a warm, rolling reggae-pop groove, the British band leaning back where the original leaned in. Their cover reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, proof that a great tune survives a change of rhythm.
