This has been covered by dozens of great artists in the past forty-plus years, but Annie Lennox is the only one who was really able to capture the heartache and raw emotion of the original. Jimmy Cliff would be proud.
Lorraine ellison has a fantastic version as far as vocal skills are concerned but it s true that Annie sticks more to the emotional intention of Cliff's original
When Annie sung this on American Idol give back, it was the first time I had ever heard the song. I downloaded it immediately and at the end of the year, I looked on my most played list. This song was #1 and had been played around 500 times! Yes, I love this song sooooo much! Even now, it gives me goosebumps all over!
OmiGod, OmiGod.......she's on the third line as I type this, and I am " Get outta town, Miss Ronstadt ! " and I love with my heart and soul Miss Ronstadt. Feeling this, living this, and loving this. Thank you, Annie; I am walking on broken glass, listening to this performance.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute. Annie is an amazing woman ....SING my sister SING....Let your voice be heard. Gorgeous pictures of Lady Lennox by the way....
Quelle voix elle a !! Great voice !!! Elle nous emporte où elle veut avec cette voix et ses chansons !! Et que dire des images !! Elles sont là, au bon endroit, au bon moment !! Un " paquet " qu'il fait bon entendre et regarder !! Il y a tout ce que mérite une telle oeuvre !!! I'm sorry but i think that it would be great for Celine to do a song with Annie Lennox... Thank you, Eileen !! Tu crées de l'Art !!!
I completely agree with you I have the prisoner in disguise album by Linda ronstadt because she’s my favorite singer and there’s so much more passion in Linda’s version
Qui Annie si è superata. Grandissima interpretazione, da brividi!!!

After eight years comment.. I strongly agree with you. Just heard it for the first time!
Ub40 cover was by far the best and a huge hit for them.
I think Oleta Adams sings it best. If you haven't heard it check it out.
My God, I always knew that Annie had the chops, but this version of the Jimmy Cliff classic, is absolutely sublime

Luv This tune. Fine job by Ms. Lennox. Adore Ronstadt's version even more.
Bravo!!!!
One of the true loves of my life, Annie; beautiful in every sense of the word.
Astonishing
I think this the best version for this song!
This is basically of cover of Linda Ronstadt's 1975 version ...she just ends the song differently.

@@nitaherman5544 TOTALLY AGREE. Linda Ronstadt's version is the best. I know this is Annie Lennox's page but Linda owned this one.
Alison Krauss
