Jimmy Cliff is the original singer and writer of this song,There are many covers to me Ub40 did a great job.Love them both.best versions jimmy and ub.
jamaican music have always a happy danceable beat though the meaning of the song might say it differently. it shows that jamaican people through every hardships are happy people. very good rendition!!!!

Thank you for posting Ubvideos. I love this version and it reminds me of the brother I lost in Iraq. I sign along to this song as tears flow from my eyes. Many rivers man...we all go through hard times. Thank you UB40 for giving me my brother.
I love this version. Some may disagree but I think this version out shines the original. UB40'S lead singer was born to sing this song. Thank u for posting this brilliant song. Peace.
Have you listen to the original???its beyond SOULFUL...UB40 kinda add a touch of RnB to their version...But HELL no they still did not out shine Jimmy!!!!
Yeah, Jimmy Cliffs version is pretty tight but this version is just too good to say, "yeah, UB40 did a nice job." I still think UB40's version kicks ass. Peace.

there is no chance Jimmy Cliff's version is better..its brutal compared to this

There's every chance Jimmy's version is better; he wrote it. Remember, "In the Beginning..." Nothing beats the original.
