- Manfred Mann's Earth Band does a great cover/interpretation of Bob Marley's 'Redemption Song.' This version is from the "Somewhere in Afrika" album from 1983.¹
If you like this, you will love the entire album. Find it, buy it. You will not regret it.

¹ ─ Later released in the US in 1984 with the song "Runner" added to the track listing. At the time of this upload, I had yet to find a CD pressing that includes "Runner" (I hadn't considered downloads then).
I do not own the rights to this song. Again, at the time of the upload, it seemed to be unavailable in the US, but was available on Amazon as an import.
Brilliant version!
Great song. Bob marley and manfred mann both genuiuses
Toujours d'actualité , toujours aussi envoûtant le rythme de cette chanson , Superbe !
I lesson this album since 1983. I buy it 5 or 6 times. A piece of art.
LOL! While I didn't catch wind of it until around 1984, like you I've purchased it a few times over the years. First was a cassette. Then a CD. Then another CD that was missing some tracks my first CD didn't have. And then of course audio files (lossless download). 😄
Well worth it each time!
@@CaesiusX Yes K7 in 1985, Vinyl and few times CD because I use it again and again in integral version. This version of Redemption Song by Manfred Mann is the best. Thank you Caesius.
Nur 5100 aufrufe? Das ist echt lahm. Für diesen Song!
Absolutely Mantastic. love MMEB especially with Chris on vocals.
Chris' vocal is fantastic here. Also they had guitarist Steve Waller sharing vocal duties [RIP]
@@awaken77 Couldn't agree more.
@@awaken77 The voice you hear at 5:30 onwards is actually Manfred himself.
@@progmeup he rarely sings. I remember he sang few lines in Blinded by the light and Don't kill it Karol.
@@awaken77 Correct. The last two songs on the debut (Part Time Man, I'm Up and I'm Leaving) are him too, the last track on Solar Fire (Earth, the Circle Part 1), the last on Angel Station (Resurrection), Adolescent Dream, Brothers and Sisters of Azania and more recently, the spoken tracks "Frog" and "Slogo" from his solo projects. Oh, and the original Chapter Three version of "One Way Glass".
...I think that's all he did as a vocalist. Oh wait, I forgot about the b-sides from this era, "War Dream" and "Holiday's End".
Einfach zeitlose grandiose Musik
merci Thomas pour cette superbe musique ,que je viens de decouvrir pourtant je suis fan du groupe depuis des années mais je ne connaissais que la version de live in budapest
I like this Disco-alike version of Bob Marley's classic. Very danceable.
"This song of Freedom". Damals wie heute immer noch brandaktuell
No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu
No Bophuthatswana, no Lebowa
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
'Cause all I ever hear (No Transkei)
Is redemption song (No Kwazulu, no Kwazulu)
Soldiers march their freedom
Out into the city streets
And though it seems like a losing battle
There can be no retreat
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
Are all I wanna hear (No Transkei)
No redemption song
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
For none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
So won't you help to sing (No Kwazulu)
These songs of freedom (No Boputatswana)
Are all I wanna hear (No Transkei)
No redemption song
Brothers and sisters of Africa
It's not for me
To say to you what you must do
Mothers and daughters of Africa
Amandla
We can't control
Awethu
What's in your mind, what's in your soul
Maatla
Brothers and sisters of Africa
Amandla
The chains of time
Awethu
Will break the man who holds the key
Maatla Amandla
Thank you for that, *Erwin.* 😎👍
@@CaesiusX Wonderful song.
And the words are incredible.
You're welcome, buddy!!
Yeah, one Highlight of the 80s
hope,BOB MARLEY enjoys this version.....
Trevor Rabin using those fifths he made so famous on Owner of a Lonely Heart.
exceptionnel une partie de ma jeunesse
Mine as well, my friend. 😌
Que gran versión
Habe Manfred Man live in der Deutschlandhalle in Berlin erlebt, Grandios! Kauft die CD, denn die songs gehören zu den Besten, die je geschrieben wurden !
War das 1983? Dann war ich auch dabei😊es war sehr beeindruckend für mich.
Sur scène, le groupe envois une image musicale spirituelle.Mais la musique reste puissante. Transition générationel en 2019. Respects.
super musik
Manfred Mann's unique composing approach: pick obscure song from some singer-songwriter, throw some classical or traditional music to the mix, and add genuine progressive rock arrangement
awaken77 He is a FN genius. Long days and pleasant nights. Happy weekend
Belle musique mixe avec l'Afrique parfaits bonne sonorités
Redemption Song
Never gets the credit this album it’s always Paul simons Graceland that gets all the glory and this was 3 years earlier!
I was _just_ thinking something similar recently. 😏
Boubacar Diakite Koutiala Mali I'm agerat fan of Manfred Mann.
Check the bass play!
thx
How long shall they kill our prophets while We stand aside and watch?😢😦😟

i actually have the version with brothers and sisters of africa and brothers and sisters of azania.
😎👍
Are there versions of the album without the
_"Africa Suite: Brothers and Sisters of Africa / Brothers and Sisters of Azania"_ track? 😱 My CD includes it, and the original cassette tape I purchased in the 80's did as well.² If there are versions of the album without that track, I wasn't aware. Although, at almost _10 minutes long,_ it wouldn't surprise me ─ even though it's one of the best tracks, IMO.
••✸••
*¹* ─ Full title: _"Africa Suite: Brothers and Sisters of Africa"_ track?¹ / To Bantustan? / Koze Kobenini? (How Long Must We Wait?) / Brothers and Sisters of Azania"_
*²* ─ That cassette had _"Runner"_ on it. Which was what made me aware that it was missing on my first CD purchase of this album.
@@CaesiusX The US version has a shorter version of Redemption Song, although the other two standalone versions of "Brothers and Sisters" still appear.
Thanks @@progmeup. 🙋🏼♂️
