The riddim is usually called "That Little Girl." Prince Far I uses the same exact cut, I think, on "Young Generation" (from his Under Heavy Manners LP).
Aside from the Far I, I don't know of any other vocal cuts on the same backing track as Dennis Brown's, but there are a few re-licks and versions. John Holt's version is "Ghetto Girl" (aka Stay At Home). And there's yet another cut that turns up as "Ghetto Rock" on the Revolutionaries' LP Dub Expression.
More recently, in the mid-2000s, Capleton worked the same riddim on "Go Spread The Love" (from Rise Them Up LP). And there's "Ghetto Girl" on the Gregory Isaacs Sings Dennis Brown set.
This is a worthy riddim in my book. Not especially heavy, but breezy and sweet instead. The chord change when the verse comes around is a really nice moment every time.
