Hi Trevor, this Johnny wife Judy Adams. I am humbled to hear Jamaicans made Johnny song and music their Anthem. Johnny and I both visited Jamica several times. Johnny love you and so do I. Judy
Trevor the real salute is for the almost forgotten generation in Jamaica, and so many other Black countries that broke their backs working for a small taste of Justice. I love Jamaican people. Judy Adams Johnny widow
This play every day and night INA dance hall and any where music a play INA Jamaica, I think this song play the most in Jamaica than any other song. My seven year old son at the time in 2003, know this song from start to finish, and me never even know the half of it.
An amazing talent ---- one of the great voices ever in popular music ------ his falsetto would be marveled at big time ---- rip soul man you did it better than most of the big names
IT'S 2020!!! YAW!!! WE MADE IT!!! IT'S SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE STILL DOING THE RIGHT THING!! IN SPITE OF ALL THE NEGATIVITY!! IN THIS WORLD!!! LIFT YOUR GLASS TO THE SALT OF THE EARTH!! A BRIGHT LIGHT SHINING IN A VERY DARK WORLD!!!!
Adore the Stones, but never heard this version, amazing. Gave me the same goosebumps as Many Rivers to Cross... Not even going to compare the two, just two delicious versions of the same recipe...
I agree but Johnny experience what"s going on in the world years ago and still today. Racism and unfair music contracts. Johnny record company held him back and exploited him and his music. Judy Adams his widow
I KNOW A LOT OF JAMAICAN CONSIDERED THIS TO BE AN ANTHEM, AND RIGHTLY SO, THIS VERSION IS SO DAMMED BETTER THAN THE ROLLING STONES. BIG UP MICK JAGGER AND KEITH RICHARD FOR WRITING SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG,.
Hi Augustus. I am honored and filled with pride hearing how much Jamaicans love my husband Johnny music. Best to your country and Johnny fans. Love you all Judy Adams Johnny wife
BRILLIANT HONEST AND MOVING [ BEST SUNG BY JOHNNY ADAMS.] 'LETS THINK OF THE WANDERING MILLIONS WHO NEED LEADERS BUT GET GAMBLERS INSTEAD' The writer might have been talking of the economic meltdown of 2008. Brings me to tears everytime.. IN HONOUR OF THE WORKING PEOPLE OF THE WORLD UNDER CRUSHING PRESSURE AT THIS TIME
I don't want to get political, but this line: the wandering millions who need leaders, but get gamblers instead, really epitomizes the selfish blind and wickedness that is passing as governance. Sad but true. But still.... Big big tune, sweet melody with an even deeper message.
Interesting how the stones get credit for appropriating the composition of People Get Ready by Curtis Mayfield for this particular song written in 1965. A very common and British thing I suppose. Take the time to compare the arrangements and see for yourself. Salt of the Earth was written in 1968.
@TheTomppa72 Dude, nobody's arguing that the Stone's version isn't epic. But, I'm sure Mick, Keith & Charlie were stoked to have someone of Johnny's vocal caliber cover one of their lesser known, yet most awesome album tracks ;)

I know the Stones have a lot more fans than Johnny Adams , but he had one of the greatest and most soulful voices EVER.

I agree were living in a dangerous time. we need strong leaders to be sober to what this nation is being put through. Judy Adams Johnny wife
