If you like reggae, perhaps check out Matisyahu‘s song “One Day”. Big fan of your content, I can tell that you are a true fan of music based upon your reactions.

[@maryscaggsdane1978]

Thank you Brother Mel! The soothing sounds of Bob Marley is a glorious way to start a day. A voice and sound so specific to a tiny island, but knew no boundaries. ❤

[@slimpickins09er87]

Another great Bob Marley song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn-ldImDabCVi68

[@aabby7276]

I am not sure if the first comment went thru , so I wiil try again. My wife and I wake up to your program every morning with our coffee, you are too cool We are old school and have our vinyl Bob Marley Albums. You have got to try One Love, Three Little Birds and Jammin by Bob. Thanks again man! Bernie and Cathy Alley from Ga.

"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds." Such a powerful lyric.

[@scottclffrd13]

I used that as the quote of the week in my classroom last week. Love it.

[@SearlesHernandez]

Yes it is. Bob paraphrased it from a Marcus Garvey speech and wrote an incredible song. #RIP Bob and Marcus

Indeed

@@scottclffrd13 awesome

[@zanethind]

@@SearlesHernandez wow I didn't know that thanks

[@40somethingfire12]

I don't know if this is a remaster gone wrong or a re-recording but this is not the version of Redemption Song I grew up listening to on the Uprising album. That song was a raw voice and a finger picked guitar, and did not have that instrumental layer. In the interest of keeping great music alive, please, please, please listen to the original version.

[@michaelmaragh]

In my opinion it wasn't even a good remake of the original...

[@lynnejamieson2063]

I don’t know if it’s just me but I think something sounds off about the voice. I’m wondering if it’s a remaster that has been subject to auto tune. There’s no grit in it, which is something that makes his voice honest, haunting and real. It seems as though whatever process this version of such an outstanding song has gone through, stripped that away and has left it feeling wrong.

[@lynnejamieson2063]

@@terrybeatonboy to be perfectly honest, that’s what I thought but then I doubted myself as I haven’t really listened to him for probably over 20 years. I think it sounds like a reasonable cover but just too new. The voice just sounds off.

[@crankiemanx8423]

This is not the original,it has been remastered,there are many remastered versions about .to possibly get an original version you may need to find an original footage of him performing live on stage.

[@jasondunken]

This isn't a remaster of the original. It is a different recording entirely. You can tell by the difference in his inflections in the lyrics.

[@OG-SherlockHolmes]

Gotta do "No woman, no cry" , "Could you be loved", and "Buffalo soldier". All super chill , yet fire at the same time

[@jjb9739]

I've yet to hear anything bad from Bob.

[@alancameron261]

“Natty Dread”, “Them Belly Full”, etc. Jamel could do a full year of Bob Marley, move on to Peter Tosh, Burning Spear and still have barely scratched the surface of great reggae. I would actually like to hear a review of Eek-a-mouse doing “Assassinator”

You are the first reactor I've seen to Bob Marley, which is crazy. Any of his songs of his "Legend" greatest hits album would be great to hear. "Legend" has spent the second longest number of weeks all-time on Billboard's top albums chart -- more than 700 weeks.

[@atticustay1]

It amazes me that you haven't heard this before! It's a classic. You even have a Bob Marley sticker on your wall

[@bashirijones7008]

Bob Marley...."Natural Mystic". The one song that encapsulates and delivers a message to the future. Of a man with a lion's heart with love for all looking at a plagued world, heart breaking and mystified at what he sees, and warning of things to come.

[@RFWieder]

This song was released after Bob Marley's death. He was an international superstar and sang for the oppressed,he was injured in an assasination attempt yet still performed that day to try to unite the people of Jamaica.

[@mitchellbeston1033]

Actually it was released on 10th June 1980 on the Uprising album. Bob died the following year on 11th May 1981.

Bob Marley is truly legendary, and I'm surprised you've never done any reactions to his songs! Please dive into his music. Truly some of the most important music of our time. Thanks!

[@paulinwoburn9680]

I agree with you 1000 percent.

[@surlechapeau]

You'll love his "Could You Be Loved", "Three Little Birds", "Is This Love" and many more!!! His greatest hits album is appropriately named 'Legend'. Gone too soon. RIP Bob. from "Buffalo Soldier"🎵 fighting on arrival... fighting for survival🎵

[@antonionexus1434]

Great tune, a timeless classic, but that is not Bob Marley's voice. Sounds like one of his sons, possibly Kymani. Jamel, please check out the original version by Bob Marley from his album "Uprising."

[@sklthedful]

No, that is Bob Marley singing, I believe.

[@bashirijones7008]

Yeah, this is not brother Bob. Hope you watch Bob doing this one Jamal...his voice rings with power singing this song.

It sounds like a very faithful cover to me. Look for the version from his 1980 album, Uprising! or the live version from the Stanley Theatre on 9/23/1980.

[@malotonga4957]

This is not Bob Marley I legit listened to all of his versions of this song from the band version to his studio version where he first recorded it and I felt bobs voice every version I didn't feel it here sorry brother this is a cover.

Regardless of creed or colour, everyone on the planet should have a copy of Bob Marley's greatest hits.

[@davidguthrie518]

He honestly believed his music could save humans, he dedicated his life and energy to his music. He believed in the power of his music.

[@G02372]

Bob Marley was real. Really himself. And that attracts people like a magnet. He was also outrageously talented of course 😂 One Love ❤️

[@benshafer5198]

This is not the original Bob Marley version, but a nice one nonetheless. Buffalo Soldier is my favorite from him, but he has SO many classics. Top five artist for me. He was an old soul. The Joe Strummer version is very good ✌

I’m a former nurse who trained with many Caribbean nurses in the UK. We lived in residence for the first year and the sound of good reggae, especially Bob Marley and Pete Tosh wafted through the hallways.

Without doubt the most beautiful song Bob wrote ❤

[@klasseact6663]

I was turned onto Bob waaaay back in 1998 when I got my first PC and was on AOL IM. Started chatting with this Jamacian woman and we exchanged music. I sent her this Best of JIMI CD and she sent me "Legend" and then it was over! You just can't be bummed out listening to Bob❗

The last album he recorded was Buffalo soldier. "Redemption song" is from the "Uprising" ulbum

“None but ourselves can free our minds” is tattooed on my inside forearm! He’s the best! One person that I wish was still alive!

Zero words wastes in this song seriously one of Bob's best. It hurts to think how much he could have written later in his life if he didn't die.

[@MariaRamirez-nq4is]

Thank You for this reaction... Robert Nesta Marley *IMMORTAL LEGEND*

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

'Redemption Song" became the epitaph of Bob Marley -it was the last song he played live, in Pittsburgh PA, before going to Germany for his cancer treatment, which he did not survive. "Redemption" links the history of slavery, that brought his ancestors to Jamaica -and his faith in God, through the faith of Rastafari'. "Emacipate yourself, from mental slavery" The later covers by Johnny Cash, from later in his life, with Rick Rubin getting Cash back to his roots, but with some modern songs, and bluegrass, folk, and gospel. Joe Strummer's version is special -Joe, knew Bob in London, late 70's as he was in The Clash, and Bob and his band, The Wailers lived and recorded in London, for a time. Punk and Reggae were both "rebel music", and the musicians admired, hung out, recorded together. Marley and the Wailers recorded "Punky Reggae Party" which nods to The Clash, and others. The Clash did several Reggae and Ska tunes, inspired or cover's (Junior Murvin's "Police and thieves") like "Bank Robber" and "Armageddion Time". Joe S' and Mick Jones, main writers for The Clash went to Jamaica on vacation, in 1978, and with the hot weather, the obvious drugs, and the local gangster culture, where firearms were used in the streets (even Bob Marley was shot, driveway his home) the duo from The Clash returned to London to record "Safe European Home" about their experience of London vs' Kingston. Bob died to young, most of the original Wailers are passed (Peter, Bunny, etc), Jonny C', Joe S' -all have died. Redemption Songs!

[@jasondunken]

You should do Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle" from his "Catch a Fire" album.

[@davidtingley9978]

Might be my favorite Marley song.

[@JoeAlbertan]

In his short life he made an enormous impact in not only reggae music but music in general.

Living in Hawaii I hear this song at least once a week on the job site or on the drive home and it still retains all the spiritual power Good reaction.🤙

Bob Marley can touch your soul the way very few people can. No Woman No Cry was my introduction to his music, Wait in Vain is beautiful, so much wonderful music.

Great Review. "Small Axe," a song he wrote, is the name of a tv show on Amazon about Jamaicans in England. "Satisfy My Soul" and "Coming in from the Cold" are a couple of my favorites.

[@caryvaughan7422]

'could you be loved', 'get up, stand up', 'I shot the sheriff' just a few to start. Hope you react to more Bob & The wailers!

War/No More Trouble, Burnin' and Lootin', Exodus, Crazy Baldhead/Runnin' Away, Kinky Reggae, Slave Driver... so many more. Talkin' Blues is a great live album to start with, Bob does a lot of talking in between songs, nice perspective.
