Even at 9 years old I cried when I heard this well more because they shot Jada and my sis grew up w/ her and I didnt realize movies were fiction. But still such a proound message
pullom19, and nicoleholmes90 you guys are funny. Oleta Adams is nice but a copy can never be better than a original. JIMMY CLIFF version is the Best and with the most feeling. You Americans are always trying to take a Jamaicans shine.
The man said ''NO DISRESPECT to Jimmy Cliff...'' so why don't you take him at his word?? Vocalists move people in different ways. BOTH versions are wonderful! Regarding your last sentence- Jimmy Cliff and Oleta Adams are both part of our gorgeous African family. Stop being a tool of the oppressor.
@DonovanSavage I never said that one was better than the other. I said that this song chose her voice to bring it to the masses. Jimmy Cliff wrote a great song and no one can take his shine. Calm down and enjoy the song....
I cry every time i hear this song.

No disrespect to Jimmy Cliff, who did some really nice work, But I think he wrote this song so Oleta adams could bring it to us... Timeless
