Jimmy Cliff-Johnny Too Bad

[@gelblesscarvalho]

Só quem curti reggae de verdade conhece esta versao,lançada no album images,na época ele estava morando aqui em salvador,bahia,brasil.

[@terenceduffy996]

great beat, arrangement, and production. Reggae at its best.

[@IdrisFadheel]

This song appeared in Jimmy Cliff's 1972 The Harder They Come. I love this song originally done by the Slikers. Other groups' sound tracks are from Wailers Let Him Go, The Maytals Pressure Drop, Desmond Dekker's You can Get It If you Really Want et al

[@scopex2749]

ALL HAIL JIMMY! This is a song UB40 covered SUPERB!

[@johnmccabe4950]

Fantastic I never heard this version before by Jimmy.. Only The Slickers.. Iiking it though👌✅🆒✔

[@aneily]

This version‘s musical backing sounds like it’s a comedy song we’re listening to or the worst karaoke ever

[@jordanvanderwerf]

simple lyrics are the best. LOVE n BLESS the WORLD

[@bin3703]

Love this song 💓

[@electriceye8811]

i love this song version, thank you Jimmy

[@ELROYALE]

So many great versions. The UB40 one is great, especially with its video clip. Also a great version by the late great Bunny Wailer. And of course the original by The Slickers. 4 formidable versions 👌

[@fatrobdouble]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipXIm4akg6iAj7c there's a 5th formidable version for you. Not the best cover overall, but definitely the best bassline.

Saw JC in DC.Go if they come to your town. It will be highly worth it. Saw Marley in 1976. He is equal to if not better. You will not be disappointed. Stay for the two encores.

[@irfaanxlcr8370]

I remember listening to this song back in the '60s. But I can't remember this version. Would like to find out what the original one is.

[@badtexasbill5261]

I think it's the slickers.

[@irfaanxlcr8370]

@@badtexasbill5261 Okay thanks . Yes those were the guys. I just checked it.

[@delroyday8925]

This is also a great rendition of this song. However, the original by the Slickers takes the cake.

[@lloyddavidson87]

Paul and reggae

[@michaelmaynard4716]

There was a version of this song that came out in 1989 but I cant remember who use to sing it. It was a collaboration and the chorus went something like ''bad bad bad bad gunna'' some a di greatest gunna coming from ''New York'' di greatest gunna coming from ''New York" ¿Do you have it or know who sing it?

[@smizu1442]

Ho'aikane

[@pinkyorange1927]

Yeah but I hope not, hate when they do that. On the point of the song I agree this a brill version :)

[@salty_eyez6804]

Can you upload hoaikane’s version of Johnny too bad

[@giannew1530]

slower version is the original the best

[@andrewdoolittle5336]

absolutely. Taj Mahal did it best by far...and was by far a more accomplished musician who also got the lyrics right too. And the author of this standard was in fact a Johnny Too Bad...who died just as this song hit it big. His brother made out okay...but he was no Johnny Too Bad either...

[@richmerowitz5610]

Over produced, over embellished, and way too up tempo. Love Jimmy, but the Slickers' version still has all the soul.
