Johnny Clegg & Soweto Gospel Choir - The Crossing (live '06)

What a song.

Great to see Jeremy Taylor in the audience, 2 men of very different styles of music, but very common backgrounds and ideals. They both were amongst the first music I ever owned. Love this version!

very different live. its hardly even the same song and yet every bit as beautiful!

I was a Juluka fan from around 1983, I was a Savuka fan, and I've always been a Clegg fan. This song brought a tear to my eye when I first heard it in '93. It still makes me weep. I remember standing in rapt awe in 2003 at the Civic Theatre, tears streaming down my face, singing at the top of my lungs....
This song is the essence of what we went through, as blacks and as whites to get our great nation birthed.....and Mr. Clegg, you wrote the anthem of our hearts!
Nkosi Sikelel' baba!

Even more special about these rituals is that it bonds the departed spirits to the world of the living so that even when they are dead they are alive, gone but they can still see and hear us.

I always remind my children of this and it has helped them cope with the loss of loved ones especially now they are away from Zimbabwe.

Beuatiful Johnny Clegg .....I loved this when I was just 13 years at Plumtree Boarding Scholl in Zimbabwe ...... and today I will be 40 years old .... and I still love it! You were my ELVIS!

WOW, what a story, what a song!

Probably the best South African song since Zxdan by the Radio Rats
