@@gideonboagontshonyane5473 The album was "Heavenly". I got it when it first came out on CD in 1997, so unfortunately I have no idea where to buy a copy now. Good luck, it's worth the effort. Fantastic album.
This is the second of two collaborations. The first was when Dolly Parton was preparing to record some of her favorite songs for an album called Treasures. She contacted LBM to sing with her on Peace Train. They also appeared on her 1996 TV special also called Treasures. You need to hear it. It was a very special performance. But beware when looking for Peace Train by Dolly, since more than one or two fans did remixes that turned it into what sounded like a techno dance mix. I'm sure Dolly never intended that. Her original recording was beautiful and heartfelt. (She's a big fan of Cat Stevens and even tried to get him to come record with her when she later recorded Where Do The Children Play?) His Islamic name which is something like Yusef Islam was on a terrorist watch list cause someone else had the same name. He later wrote a song about it called Boots and Sand and had Dolly Parton and Paul McCartney record some of the words spoken to him by the airport security screeners. He wrote songs of peace and was treated like a terrorist!
Who is here with me after the death of the African hero best voice in Africa you will never be forgotten and you will always be remembered. We love you hero rest in perfect peace hero may the almighty God grant you paradise Amen. 😭😭🙏🙏🙏
This song needs more views!!! This was one of my fathers favorite songs. He listened to it a lot after his best friend passed. Not knowing he was knocking on heavens door, he passed. I love you dad and Uncle Tom...this goes out to you!
Comparing Patsy to Dolly is like comparing James Dean to Jimmy Stewart! Two left us way too soon and two basked in the twilight of a great life and career. Patsy's famous last interview before boarding that plane, in which she said, "When it's my time to go. It's my time to go..." RIP Joseph
Dolly must love them why she did 2 hits with them Dolly knows very good singers like Ladysmith Black Mambazo are and they love Dolly!! but they sings sooo good together! Dolly is a fan of Ladysmith Black Mambazo!!
@@nkosiyethumadlela4461 I remember that night like it was yesterday I'm telling you,there was something about her voice and the music that overwhelmed me so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@@sthe_zar6341That's something profound from an 8/9 year old... From now on I am gonna remember this and everytime I listen to this song I will be reminded that there is something very significant about being here on earth 🌎 🤞

it's just some people just don't now Dolly has written more songs Dolly thought it be an honor to sing with a great group as ladysmith black mambazo TY
The lead singer is the son of the original lead singer who was the one who formed the group, my God , he looks exactly like his dad.ive loved LADY SMITH BLACK MAMBOZO ever since they performed with Paul Simon, Miriam Makeba, and a host of more, after apartheid ended and they all performed on the GRACELAND tour. This was an amazing time and event. This is history!!!
Cynthia.. It's actually the original lead singer and the founder of the group, Joseph Shabalala not his son.. You can only see his son on their recent videos..
Man I used to listen to this song back to back all night long my first 2 years in medical school while I was studying. It gave me the strength to keep me going. It still songs as good as it did a few years back! Thanks for putting this clip up.
I love Dolly and Mambazo... this is awesome and I am willin' to bet that Robert Zimmerman loves it too!!! (besides the mail box money that he's gettin' as writer)

I have enjoyed most Clapton songs and even been to his gigs...never liked this one BUT I do like this version.... LBM are awesome and fair play Dolly gives the song sparkle!!!
Thank YOU! for bringing such joy into the world! I always considered this a dark song in only hearing Dylan sing it -- you guys have popped this right up!
This is my favourite version of this song, I love Ladysmith Black Mambazo, I get goosebumps when I hear them sing and I'm mesmerised by their dancing..... x
They are happy to knock on that door its called gospel , DP nails this song to the wall never thought a straw chewer could sing with such soul and guts brilliant version
Thank you for that comment.......as the producer/arranger of this - before we started her vocal I asked her who she was influenced by - when she told me she would go see Otis all the time I know she could deliver ...and did she ever!

I am here in 2023 .Proudly from Ladysmith in rural area so called Mhlumayo .Indeed Dr Shabalala was a legend may his soul continue rest in peace.
Dolly Parton has a unique voice,which very few singers could imitate.
The day we lose Dolly is going to be like the day we lost Patsy... Tears and tears and tears....
we just lost Joseph
Comparing Patsy to Dolly is like comparing James Dean to Jimmy Stewart! Two left us way too soon and two basked in the twilight of a great life and career. Patsy's famous last interview before boarding that plane, in which she said, "When it's my time to go. It's my time to go..." RIP Joseph
Who is still listening to this in 2019? Awesome version.

Reminds me of someone in college 1997. I hope he is all well.

Music has no color, God bless every one.
Lets appreciate the differences instead of pretending they don't exist.
Or perhaps music has all the colors of the rainbow and more.
Perfect song, I am so proud to be of Zulu tribe, which means Heaven's people..
i thought Zulu was a nation, even an empire might be politically correct...it is a tribe to you?
