He sounds good but i love Jimmy's version better. Jimmy sounds like he was in the middle of crossing the rivers when he sang this song, because it had such depth and emotions, i feel it when i listen to Jimmy i just get lost and caught up in the emotion, then i start thinking about my own rivers.
jimmy cliffs version from TOTP2 is alot better, nice try tho, ceptfor the fact its bland as hell, you could cover friday by rebecca black with that kinda charisma
when that sax comes in with that haunting organ makes this a good cover...joe Cocker does a great cover...but they both can't touch jimmy Cliff's original...but i do like this one. thanks for posting it.
hmm, i do like this cover, but i think it's an extremely difficult song to cover, decent try, but not quite jimmy :) Only saying that because jimmy's is pretty much perfect
I think this song is you try to stick to the original or you put your stamp on it. Woe betide anyone who tries to put their stamp on it and does not step up to the plate. Lenny has gone with the former route.
WOW!!! What a voice!!! Just love it Lenny! I love your rendition of this song. It's such a sad song, and you make it sooooo wonderful to listen to, as we reminence - sounds like the blues to me......
This song will ever touch my soul...so deep...I love Jimmy Cliff and the original song...with Lenny Kravitz's voice..the result is awesome too...one of the best cover ever! <3
One of the best covers. The sax player is very talented but the playing was a bit fast for my liking especially on a slow mellow song such as this version
1.Me tiene harto la musica de este negrito africano y sus descerebrados fans. Si tanto les gusta la musica de ese gilipollas, para su placer, les recomiendo que se metan un dedo por el culo y hagan de cuenta que Lenny Kravitz, los esta follando partida de imbéciles sin oficio ni beneficio fans del negrito africano de Lenny Kravitz.
i mean no disrespect to Lenny, he does sing this song great and Oleta sounds lovely but Jimmys voice in that song really really does feel like he has been through some harsh times and it sort of makes you relate more to the song.
Belle version mais je trouve qu'il force un peu sa voix pour cette chanson et ce n'est pas la meilleure façon de faire ressortir toute l'émotion de ce texte.
Absolutely LOVE this!!!! <3
