this really should be re released as a tribute to the man but also to give some of those who still stand by him a new lease of the great memories we have
Somethings in the world only happened once. And Muhammad Ali is one of them. My real Superman. I love you Muhammad Ali. Not I worlds' every sensible person loves you. And the coming generations will love you till the judgement day.
HE hates that name, he calls it his slave name, and he renamed himself based on his faith, then he changed it again after changed his faith the second time.
Oh and he was Nation of Islam when he sang it but he wasn't open about it yet.
Who could it be" GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP IN HISTORY" that was so tough in the ring and at the same time sang with pure soul to make this version the best one of all?.......................... ALI THE BLACK SUPERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can box better than all of those before him, he can sing better than Beyonce and can dance better than Elvis & Michael Jackson, he must be 'the greatest' ?
@Twed94 He can not dance better than Elvis & Michael Jackson. And he may be able to sing better than Beyonce, but Michael Jackson, Elvis and The Beatles are far better singers. In boxing terms alone, he is the greatest.
sounds pretty good though i didnt thougt he would sing that well lol he truly is the greatest, got the looks got the voice got the arrogance and can fight what else u need?
yeah screw head, sort it out, you cant just go and stool 2min of zombiboys life, thats just inconsiderate, you're post to be nice to people on youtube you know
He is a Muslim, He is black, He is a boxer, He is brave, He is fast, He is Pretty, He is funny, He is poet , He is a singer, He is a physiological warfare, He Must be the Greatest of All times
It depends, billions of people have changed because they apply faith, others don't care for it, some only care for it, depends on the person, but outwardly you can tell a good person by his manners and religion may or may not take effect ont that person, like some people became more humble because of faith, some just don't understand it. Depends.
damn! I am really, really surprised! I clicked a link expecting a butchered version of the song... but hearing this, I say he could legitimately have been a singer.
You shouldn't feel sorry for him, in an interview he was asked if he feels grateful for the honor and fame he has enjoyed, and he responded, with the difficulty due to his Parkinson: "Yes, five times a day"(refering to his 5 daily prayers to Allah). This earth is only part of our trip, the next and most important step is still to come.
now i believe its him cause its on his album i am the greatest and its on itunes i love him singing dis although i cant do nothin but laugh cause its kind of funny i wonder does he remember dis
I was a muslim little boy living in OVERSESS ,AND I REMEMBER WE DID NOT HAVE TV so at our home,and ALIs FIGHTS WERE PLAYED ON A SMALL RADIO AT MY HOME,WE ALL SAT BY THE RADIO AT 4:00 AM TO HEAR ALI PUT UP THE BEST FIGHT EACH TIME WHILE MY DAD WAS PRAYING (MUSLIM WAY) FOR ALI TO WIN.MEMORIES ARE ALL WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH.
Jaysus... Now wonder Ali had such a resloute faith.. I mean you would wouldn't you if you were born this damn multi-super superlative talented. A one-off indeed.
I remember the first time I heard this was on a BBC radio show on Shortwave. It was a show about popular celebrities (not necessarily professional singers) singing popular songs.
IIRC, the announcer said about Ali, "he actually did a decent job with that" or something along those lines. You should've heard the other singers featured. At best, they were tolerable. At worst, they were terrible. William Shatner was among them, of course. :)
