@cuzgandalfgothigh99 probably the hot climate and the lack of the ability to grow anything in some places, and lack of water in certain places. Mind you with all the modern technology about, its amazing that no one has done somethin to sort the real situation with hunger and such, I suppose we're a world of ignorant people with the "why should we give a toss and help them out" attitude.

@jpdickert True but it was The Tokens version in the 60s that got to No.1 in the charts and the one that everyone knows. This tune also caused all sorts of trouble when it was used in The Lion King because the original band wanted more royalties or whatnot, cant remember exactly but I know there was some problems. Personally I think this is the best version but the Tokens version is brill aswell, pitty this one didnt get more recognition.

Cheers

i don't understand how people from this continent can complain about anything.. poverty? pffft, they got the richest untouched natural resources at their very feet. and life is created and evolved in front of their very eyes! africa is also the definiton of beauty. everything there is amazing, like Heaven actually exists. <3
