I could quite happily masterbate to anything joe strummer has ever been involved with....Fuck Elvis or Micheal peado Jackson...he is the most important person to bless the music world!!!
It's 100% Strummer. Sounds like they've put a bit of chorus effect or reverb on the vocal in the mix, but it's him. Listen to to his version of Redemption Song with the Mescaleros. You'll hear it!

This is definitely not Joe Strummer. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard Tippa Irie mention LBDAS by name in the song. The vocals sound a lot more like RAS-1.
Good grief! Is this the version from the "Free the West Memphis 3" compilation? I just noticed on their wikipedia page that they have a track on that record.
I haven't listened to Strummer since his Clash recordings. His voice must have changed considerably. He must have been close to 50 when he sang this. Incidentally, his voice sounds quite similar to RAS-1.
I'd Rather be a Free Man In my Grave Than Living as a Puppet or a Slave So as Sure as the Sun will Shine I'm gonna get my Share now of What is Mine. Because the Harder They Come the Harder they fall. One and All!
This is the best cover of this number - leave it to Joe Strummer to do a reggae standard justice and add a totally new flavor to it. And Tippa Irie's toasting/bacing vocals are a great touch.
It goes without saying that Jimmy Cliff would be proud. By the way, Joe and Jimmy do an amazing duet called "Over the Border". It was released on Jimmy Cliff's "Black Magic" album in 2004. Thought I'd mention that for everyone out there!
rest in peace joe
i am sure you are rocking with a great band wherever you might be right now
