- Johnny Wakelin (Brighton, 1939) is a British singer.
Wakelin was born in 1939 in Brighton, Sussex. He was discovered on the local singing circuit by Robin Blanchflower, who launched Carl Douglas' career. In 1974, Wakelin got the idea to write a song about a legendary boxing match, The Rumble in the Jungle, between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman that would take place on October 30, 1974 in Zaire. However, the song Black Superman was not a success. However, the follow-up to this song, called In Zaire, became a worldwide success. After this, Wakelin also had a hit with Africa Man.

Danke Johnny ich liebe diesen Titel auch heute moch 😍♥️👍👍👍😘
So eine geile Musik gibt es heutzutage leider nicht mehr! Die Menschen von Heute haben keine Ahnung davon,was gute Musik ist.
Mit Liebe Wissen
La musica di adesso fa pietà e non mi piace per niente. Questa è tutta un'altra cosa.
Da ging die Post ab!!!
Класный прикид у солиста!🎉
Großartiger Song über den wahrscheinlich legendärsten Boxkampf der Sportgeschichte.
The 70's were much more fun than nowadays
Nonsense!
The 50's were!
The youth nowadays.
❤
the good old times. but sorry, it wasn't completely better. it was different. society was so square
Definitely!
Eine super Performance. Danke lieber Gott, dass ich die achtziger Jahre miterleben durfte. Eine tolle Zeit.
Super Lied - abgesehen davon, dass es aus den 70ern stammt (1976) ;-)
R.I.P. Muhammad Ali, the Song is great!
I first heard the record when I was 15 and now, almost 50 years later, I enjoy listening to the song just as much.👍
Heard it for rhe first time in my sisters car last night !!!!
❤❤❤
Same here! :)
Zu einer Zeit in der noch alles top war.
Als das Leben der Menschheit schöner war, als heute😢😢😢

A good example how simple a musik video can be. You actualy can see who is singing. No need of showing naked bodys or explosions or whatever to keep the audiance watching at. Just simple good musik.
Yes but the show host Jimmy saville was one of the worst pedophiles and abusers in modern history

Greetings from Sth Oz... :)

Браво Џони, добра песма и добар ритам никад не остари. Сви извођачи су супер. Поздрав из 2023.године.
Сербия это Россия😁
Serbia is Serbia @@Fktrc70
My great memories ❤❤❤
Heute im Radio gehört und sofort auf volle Lautstärke gedreht!
Geiles Lied !🎩🎩🎩 Hammi!
Immer wieder ein geiler Song,auch noch nach 40 Jahren!
Kannst so sagen! Und die coolen outfits ,-)
Ich habe "Hinterher" verstanden 😂
Verdade.
Dem kann ich nur zustimmen. Damals war das noch richtige Musik und nicht so ein Einheitsbrei wie heute mit Texten wo man glaubt das die Leute irgendwas genommen haben. Damals konnte man noch mitsingen 70er, 80er und 90er. Das war die geilste Zeit in meinem Leben
Ich würde mir mal eine etwas "härtere" bzw. "dreckigere" VERSION wünschen ! ! ! Einfach noch rockiger . . .
Unsere Gute alte Disco Zeit. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Absulut genila für den Grõssssten Boxer aller Zeitein😊😊😊😊😊
Bellissima Canzone un tuffo nel Passato che mi fa´ riaffiorare tanti bei Ricordi.
Einer der top ten Songs der 70er! Bin nur etwas verwundert das die WokoHaram Zensoren dieser Plattform es noch nicht geschafft haben dieses Video zu entfernen.Schliesßlich feiern hier jetzige Uralte Weisße Männer zwei Afroamerikaner (einer davon sogar zum iSSlam konvertiert ab! das läuft doch heutzutage unter kultureller Aneignung
Love the way these boys ALL play like they were Ali! (Serious chuckles!) ;)
They could have never imagined this would be played at all weddings.
This bro had two songs about Mohamed Ali love it
Yeah, the other was "Black Superman".
love
what a tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Une perle des années 70
I still love that song, even after all those years
А я до сих пор её слушаю.
Mi ricordo quando partivano certi brani ,entravi in pista a ballare,con gioia e ti perdevi in un mondo tutto tuo.altro tempo,che purtroppo non tornerà più ... Anni 80
👍🏻
Die 70er Jahre waren schön. Dieses Lied höre ich auch heute noch gerne. Deshalb ein ,,gefällt mir" 😁
Geht mir genau so... super song👍
Ja die 70er waren absolut genial.
Anders als im Merkelland
Super Song immer wieder gern
Geht mir auch so.
Das war noch Musik !!!!

Still listening to this in 2021 and can remember listening in the 1970's
Love the song and those cordless electric guitars! Bluetooth in 1976
Wunderbar Schön

Es waren noch schöne Zeiten
Wie alt sind sie? Wenn ich fragen darf😊
Согласен. Причём во всём.
Super!
1976 habe ich schon danach in der Disco getanzt danach, echt geiler Song von einer coolen Truppe. Danke die Erinnerungen sind wieder mal echt wunderbar.
Hammer Sound ! ! ! Bloß die grinsenden "BABY-Rocker" passen nicht so richtig ins Bild . . .
1976 wurde ich geboren, trotzdem liebe ich 70er 80er und 90er Musik
If there was ever a song that showed love ❤️ for Muhammad Ali this would be it. This song makes him a hero and legend.😇
Ali was the greates 🌟
I do not want ....

Never heard this before .... I absolutely love it ❤
There is a story behind this song. This song was made after box competition between George foreman and muhamed ali in zaire

Why do they laugh and smile all the time dealing with a serious theme? And the drums ... this job could be done by every child much better.
