I knew the Clapton version before I found out that Marley wrote it.Clapton !
Wow just looked it up. I never knew he wrote it.
Marley made it his own and the version on 'live at the Lyceum' is not bettered by anybody.
I can't say I've heard Claptons version. I had the Live at the Lyceum album and was a Marley fan ever since. It is one of those albums that is iconic and a true classic.I knew the Clapton version before I found out that Marley wrote it.
I clearly remember Slowhand's version in the charts.

'And this, I wanna tell you, is a Trenchtown experience, all the way from Jamaica.... Bob Marley and the Wailers come on'
Quick pop quiz. What was the name of Marleys backing singers ?
The backing singers.Bob Marley and the Wailers ??
Or are you talking about the female singers,one of whom was his wife Rita, I believe.
And Peter Tosh was another of The Wailers .The backing singers.
Everyone says 'The Wailers' it's not. The backing singers are the 'I Threes' and yes he later married Rita.
The Wailers name comes from one of the founders of the group Bunny Wailer.
I'm just trying to redeem some pride after believing the shite internet and thinking Clapton wrote I Shot the Sheriff :-)

Since Mrs Vienna died, I hardly watch any TV; I have Boom on from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, unless City are playing.I concur 100% with you there pal.
Me and the wife have it playing on our Alexa speaker every morning.
And it's also the only radio station that I have tuned in automatically on my car radio.
It plays ( in the main) our kind of music.
And as we are both baby boomers,it's why we like Boom Radio.
We like David Lloyd and "Diddy" David Hamilton, and a special mention for Jenny Hanley,as I have her as a Facebook friend and have messaged her a couple of times in the past.Since Mrs Vienna died, I hardly watch any TV; I have Boom on from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, unless City are playing.
I like all the DJs, but Nicky Horne is my favourite. I love the little anecdotes about some of the tracks he plays.
