Now I really understand why gospel is so popular.
This is just awesome news, nagsheadlocal - I wish I could help somehow. What kind of work are you doing? Maybe take your story to the journal forum, so you can just get it all out. P.S. - This song gets a 10. How many of us have looked at our lives and seen nothing but mountains beyond mountains, and many rivers? My uncle had a 600-acre farm in Washington - he grew potatoes, corn, and sugar-beets, and his son had a couple-hundred head of Black Angus cattle. I got to work on that farm when I was young, and it was HARD WORK. Milking cows, feeding chickens, mucking out the pig pens and the stalls, and helping to get the irrigation system working. I only have sketchy memories of it all, but I know it wasn't easy. I LOVED it. I wish I'd known about this Jimmy Cliff song back then - I'd probably have been singing it, too... Good on you, for giving back to the farmers, and to us greedy consumers. You are awesome.  |

| This song (and the whole album) is timeless and wonderful. It was the first album I ever fell in love with, and 24 years later I still love it just as much :)

|
| I came to this song through UB40's cover version from the early 80s. I retain a soft spot for the cover version, but this is a whole other level of pain and soulfulness.
|
| Excellent song from an excellent album, the soundtrack of a superb film.
|
| Reggae, Gospel, and the white cliffs of Dover. Something for everyone! LOL
Oh, 10, of course.
|
| This is such a classic, love it.
|
| Saw him singing this recently on Jools Holland live, he still sounds amazing!

About 300 places too low, IMHO.... |
| Great song and that album had some great stuff on it besides Jimmy's. The CD version I have has many taht the original vinyl didn't, including The Israelites.

Not a cover. Jimmy wrote it.
The reference, I believe, is to the cover artwork |
