Reggae covers should be excluded from this conversation.

The Heptones are a Jamaican rocksteady and reggae vocal trio most active in the 1960s and early 1970s. They were one of the more significant trios of that era, and played a major role in the gradual transition between ska and rocksteady into reggae with their three-part harmonies. The Heptones were contemporaries of the Wailers and the Maytals, and every bit their equal in the mid-60's.

I think we have a winner: "Row Jimmy" is the closest GD song we have to a reggae song.
That was written right around when other white-folk were first experiencing a reggae beat, like The Stones, Clapton and others.

I met a Jimmy in Honduras in
I met a Jimmy in Honduras in 2006 who was living there with a Honduran wife and kid. He ran away from home in SoCal and lived in the Haight from 65-67. He knew the GD. Was in their house at 710. Said you could just walk in their house and grab some food if you wanted. Said speed killed the scene. I have this feeling that Row Jimmy might be about him. But it's probably not.
Here's a pic I found online that I'm sure is Jimmy standing next to Weir. He's the one in the blue shirt Jimmy had a distinctive nose. We would get high together at his house in Honduras.
