I don’t understand some of these comments, Jimmy Cliff is on of the fathers of Reggae, it would not be what it is today but for his work. Cat Stevens wrote this and Jimmy gently moulded it to his style.
@@Mog435 Songwriters don't always interpret their own songs the best. In fact, I feel the same about lots of Cat Stevens' songs because I don't think he was a great, dynamic performer.
@@michaelfarrow5817 100 percent. Cat could clearly right it seems but performing is a different thing entirely. I appreciate the art in all it’s forms.
do you not realize even in *those* days their voices were altered with a computer.. definitely not as bad as the autotune these days.. but most definitely they were tuned up to sound much better than they actually are.
Cat Stevens wrote it, didn't want to release it, gave it to Jimmy Cliff, produced it for him, but later on recorded it himself for the American public and was a giant hit and was later on covered by Mr. Big and was a big hit as well.
I grew up with this song hearing it everywhere for years, being a rockperson, but it always gets in my head, when there's something on the news, rembering it is a wild world. It is also the first reggae minded artist, before we knew the 'reggae' word, for all i know anyway. Had long ago an 'obscure' Keith Richards single, with the New Babarians called The harder they come, a J.C song. We used it for parties, a special surprice , for it was very hard to get.
Я из России песню эту услышал в 1993 году в исполнении группы Mister Big, конечно песня произвела на меня огромное впечатление, зацепила за душу. Сегодня услышал эту песню в исполнении Джимми Клиффа - прекрасное исполнение. Всем американским хорошим людям доброго здравия и мирного неба над головой.
A chaque fois que j'entends cette chanson,j'ai les larmes aux yeux,c'est touchant,cette absurdite de l'etre humain,de vouloir profiter de son prochain a chaque fois que l'occasion se presente,ca se qualifie uniquement d'ignominie.
i have no idea how this dint blow up when it was first released! his voice is perfection! ik cat stevens wrote it and i like his version too but this is my fav
What the heck?! You don’t know Jimmy?! You don’t know Jimmy???? This Jimmy . Since the beginning, been playing so long and still playing….. pay attention
There is something about the music, arrangement, I don’t know, that reminded me of A Day In The Life. Maybe it was the bass. Then I saw your comment. Yeah, something very Beatleish.
HE WAS A SLAVE BOY ENTERTAINING THE WHITES. AM PROUD OF YOU JIMMY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS PIECE IT REMINDS ME OF MY YOUNG AGE WHEN I WAS A BOY IN MUKOBEKO
@@maiadean7053 So we bought you some of the best band ever....but yeah, they're middle class English, us working class English embraced black music and the moves to go with it

I've always loved this version. Reminds me of my early adolescence, when you are just working out who you are. Great cover by Mr. Cliff👍

I was doing my version in the sun this afternoon while doing work on a van . Must say Jimmy is better than me . 😂

The Cat copied his style and got rich and famous.

I grew up with Jimmy's version . To me it's awesome
Jimmy Cliff is up there with the greatest..David Ruffin ..Marvin Gaye ..Otis Redding .Voice of an angel.
do you not realize even in *those* days their voices were altered with a computer.. definitely not as bad as the autotune these days.. but most definitely they were tuned up to sound much better than they actually are.
I’ve never heard this version before. It’s very nice.
Sorry have been in a coma

Taranberk2; it's by far the best version of this song. Jimmy Cliff was only 22 years old

Yup, he gave it to Jimmy.. and unfortunately his version flopped hard.. so Cat said "hold my beer" and showed everyone who the big dog was.
Don't know where it flopped, this did great in africa and other countries. Jimmy cliff was amazing in the day
My favorite version of his song...Takes me to my childhood days
My 14years!!
Is vy nice indeed, but don't forget who originally wrote it, & played it to awesome perfection too!
I saw Jimmy Cliff for the first time in concert about 4 years ago. He was incredible. A great songwriter too.
Holy crap. Long time Jimmy fan and just discovered this cover today =)
Jimmy cliff legend he's one of those musician you'll never forget .love him then and now .
this comment is a huge backhanded compliment... you can't be a *legend* if you only *love* him "now and then"

First time hear this version. It's amazing
Going back to the oldies, love it
A great classic a master piece.
Brilliant 🎉
Ouvindo em 21/12/2023....já conhecia....lindo demaissss.🤗👏👏👏👏❤🤩
Such a beautiful song. I didn’t know of this version til just now. Maxi Priest’s version has always been one of my favourite reggae songs
That bass....nice. I haven't heard this version. This is good stuff.
So happy I found this video!
Awesome! Legend. Hearing it the first time.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful song.
Stay safe and blessed ❤️
Best version... in my opinion
Love this song
I’m in love with that bass

Splendido ricordo della mia infanzia
Would love more details about this video. When? Where? Why? Love it. Jimmy's moves are at a much higher level than the rest.
Great artist, thinker, lyricist
THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG.
Close to Cat Stevens own, far better than Boy George. A very good version.
Better than Maxi Preist !
Always liked his version.
Love it 😊❤
Take me back to this time NOW
Brings back happy memories ❤️
Beautiful version!
Only ever knew this version until Cat Stevens was heard! Seemed to fit in with joining the army at 15yrs old, was played in the barracks!
i have no idea how this dint blow up when it was first released! his voice is perfection! ik cat stevens wrote it and i like his version too but this is my fav
This is the best version by far.

Legend
Año 72 era uno de los lentos que se bailaba en la plaza de llo lleo
🧡 ‘and just remember there’s a lot of bad underwear’-
I was 4 in 1970. This is how I sang it. This is what I thought the words were.
Best version by far....
Ésta canción debe recibir múltiples premios medioambientales en el mundo
How can them young drinkers just not see they had a phenomenal Jimmy Cliff in front of them … omg what a shame …
Clássico
Sudah tiga puluh tahun lebih aku dengar dan suka lagu ini tapi baru tahu versi aslinya.😮
Шикарно!!!
Magic.
Jimmy ❤️
What the heck?! You don’t know Jimmy?! You don’t know Jimmy???? This Jimmy . Since the beginning, been playing so long and still playing….. pay attention
Bring it on home to you
❤❤❤❤❤
I like jimmy cliff wild world of Saturday 12 September 1970
Even though this isn't the original & he didn't write it for me it paints more of a picture in my minds eye, I prefer it. 🇬🇧
Nobody cares,who wrote it.
No one listens to the original.
@Liam Smith Who are you to speak for others? Yes they do listen to the original you fool.
sweet
I don't know the meaing of the lyrics until I turned adult 🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I wondered if that guy waving his arms around on the dance floor was Bob Marley... very young of course.
Yes that's Bob Marley
SATURDAY 30 OCTOBER 2021

No one listens to the original stop that bs
🖐🖐🇧🇷🇧🇷
Quer Relique ❤❤
The bassist plays like he was the bassist for the Beatles.. that's how It sounds to me...if there's a style of bass playing that way?
There is something about the music, arrangement, I don’t know, that reminded me of A Day In The Life. Maybe it was the bass. Then I saw your comment. Yeah, something very Beatleish.

HE WAS A SLAVE BOY ENTERTAINING THE WHITES. AM PROUD OF YOU JIMMY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS PIECE IT REMINDS ME OF MY YOUNG AGE WHEN I WAS A BOY IN MUKOBEKO
Better than Cat Stevens’ version. Much better.
Cliff is a legend...but i Prefer Maxi Priest cover of Wild World.

Palestina free
Great song. Lol those white folks got no rhythm at all. The video could've been re-done
Too bad you have to be such a racist a$$hole - you have no class.
They're English, so...
@@maiadean7053 So we bought you some of the best band ever....but yeah, they're middle class English, us working class English embraced black music and the moves to go with it
This version had all the radio play in 1970. Cat Stevens was also good
Jose Feliciano did it much better
First time hear this version. It's amazing
