im not a reggae fan far from it im a trance dj/person but i make exceptions for maxi priest he is a great singer who made some fantastic tunes in the 90s. top man.
This song is like medicine to me. Whenever I'm a little down, it always brings me back up! Thanks Maxi for your beautiful voice and your timeless music :)

I do agree that this version is great, but every version of this song is fantastic. It's simply the song. Jimmy Cliff did an earlier version in reggae too, and it is just as fantastic. It's the lyrics and the tune that make for a fantastic cover. They are all great. I LOVE THIS SONG.
No importa si es rock,reggae,hip-hop,balada o pop,,,no se q seria del mundo sin la musica,fuesemos una sociedad sin cultura,amargada y no se exactamente q seriamos pero lo q si se q el mundo no tendria vida sin la musica,VIVA LA MUSICA, muy buena esta cancion...gracias por el video..
Best Cover Ever Made Of A Great Song, I Love Reggae Period And Must say This Is My Favorite Song Ever. PD: From A Mexican Who Loves Reggae And Had Lots Of Jamaican Friends!!!!!
A truen story, coming from either the story teller themselves or the ones they sing about. Its truly a gift If an artist can capture both point of views!
This song was important to me when I was very small and subsequently in middle and latter years. I knew the original, I loved this version which was when I was getting married. Then over a decade on and divorced, I listened to the cast of Skins re-record it. Some songs stand the test of time and speak for themselves, this is one of them. Not every artist can do the song justice, I'm so glad you sang it with passion and made it as touching as 'The Cat'.

Well, him being a solo artist doesn't affect whether he's in a group or not. In fact he's performed with UB40 before. UB40 have stated that he is to be their next lead singer with thoughts that it might be a permanent decision.
here is a part of the reaction of brian (the saxplayer) on the forum of official UB40 site (it's now on page 12)

Band Member Posted: Thu Mar 13
its NOT true im afraid, it would appear that you have been the victims of a cruel prank. But after reading the article I have my suspicions,Although UB40 are MASSIVE MAXI PRIEST FANS,he is an AMAZING singer and a proper lovely person the guy has his own band and his own career DON'T believe EVERYTHING you read in the newspapers . BT
i love this song!!!this artist is great, this song makes me happy even in the rought imes, everyone needs to stop and truly smile deep down insinde and say , life is great, and give yourself a big hug =) <333
Not trying to drag you guys into the arguement or accuse you of anything, but I have an observation about this song. When I watched the original video by Cat Stevens, I read the comments and it wasall based on the fact that he converted to Islam. Then it was nothing but horrible posts about how much the posters hate islam. This thread happened to keep focus on the song, I wonder how that works? Just a thought.
In taste genres are broken, if you don't like it that's just fine, or are you a certified critic? I happen to like all versions I've heard, but yeah nothing like the "father" of all versions Mr. Stevens. Other singers present an homage to a beautiful song. Your critique is welcome.
I think you missunderstood me, what I meant is that there's different taste for difr't folks, regarding feeling remaining the same, no way thank goodness for individuallity!!!
this song ownsss! i heard it on the radio the other day and was getting pumped up. when i was looking for it i came across the Cat stevens version and all i gotta say is NO COMPARISON. this song is as good as duran duran- come undone
although this sounds good...there is nothing that is even in the same category as the original by Cat Stevens. It's waaaay deeper than this. This is good, but surely not the best.
I have to agree. While it is a fairly decent cover and the man can sing. This song lacks the soul of the original. For the intention of the song, it shouldn't be orchestrated with an upbeat rhythm.
Maxi is a great singer. He can make a boring song turn to be lively just like this. I wonder if he can do the same to the song The Sound of Music... lol
I was looking for this song for over 15 years. When I was in my native country Peru. Great Memories!!!. Now, I am 27 years I feel like a kid listening this great song. Thanks for posting!! :')
I am from Peru. But actually I live in USA. Iwas looking for this song for over 15 years, and finally I got it!!!. It makes remember me my city Arequipa and my childhood. Thanks so much for posting. :')
