My all time favourite SA artist, saw him for the first time at 13 when Juluka had just been unbanned. Remember a young Black man turning to me at the concert and saying, 'this is the greatest white man who ever lived.' I still don't know how he was there in the first place as we were still 13 years from change. His words had such a profound affect on me.
RIP Johnny Clegg... We as fans have all felt as if we have lost a member of our family. Having grown up in the 80's, your music became part of not only my life, but also the lives of all your fans.
Déjà 1mois le 16 le jour de mon anniversaire je ne pourrais jamais oublier c est avec beaucoups de chagrin que je passe en boucle tes vidéos comme ça je te vois chanter et danser je pense a ta famille encore sincères condoléances je pourrais jamais t'oublier repose en paix je t aime
Mon zoulou blanc dans 2 jours cela fera 6 mois que tu nous a quitté je pense toujours a toi tu me manques alors je passe en boucle tes vidéos j entend ta voix et surtout je te vois danser je ne t oubierai jamais je t aime bisous de France
Dear Johnny, our angel, may you hear us singing with you ... You, the biggest heart ever ... and forever in our hearts ... We miss you so ... Rest in Peace Johnny, we love you 😢
I love the part around about 2:50 where Johnny starts to dance. You can see that he just can't resist it, he has to move... He truly lived and loved music. Great artist.
I suspect the younger South African have not, until he passed, grasped how much Jonny Clegg played a part of South African and African history and the shift created by influencing hundreds of thousands of young white South Africans in the mid 90's in that first vote... IMMENSE
Apparently, they were good friends. Karen worked with Johnny's son, Jesse, to put together this tribute to him and his music that has touched so many, many lives. Apartheid divided, but music brings people together. I have eight CDs by Johnny, both alone and with either Juluka or Savuka. Because of this video, I bought Karen Zoid's volume 5, which has this duet -- which I enjoyed, even the Afrikaaner songs that I didn't understand. Thank you, Ms. Zoid, for sharing this amazing duet.

Repose en paix, jamais je ne t oublierai, homme de paix, d amour, Artiste a l immense talent tu as envoye un message de paix et de reconciliation au monde qui en a tant besoin.Ta place est pour toujours dans nos coeur tu es un exemple a suivre.Toutes mes pensees t accompagnent.Sinceres condoleances a ta famille depuis la belgique.
Il va manquer au monde!!!! Pour sa musique et ses actions. Homme de grand coeur et de paix , Repose en paix au pays de la musique on pensera toujours a toi
I saw Johnny in Fort Lauderdale Fla. me my mum and 500 jarpies in 2016 ...... amazing..... now it feels like the great heart has left the room ...ahhhhhhhhh I'll never forget or stop listening to this son of South Africa 🇿🇦
I'm so happy to hear you Jonathan and see you do what you've always done, music, make happy people like me. Happy to know that you are well. Very nice duo.
Johnny Clegg avait un "Great Heart". Tout le monde connait le combat qu'il a mené durant sa carrière. Un homme bourré de valeurs, très bon musicien, auteur, guitariste, danseur, parolier... et qui a vu aussi des vertes et des pas mures. L'homme n'est plus là mais ses chansons, ses mélodies, ses valeurs et son esprit resteront! Si tout le monde pouvait lui ressembler ou tout du moins puiser en lui....
This performance is absolutely stunning. I’m just discovering Johnny, Sipho, Juluka, Savuka, Karen Zoid in 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Here, we recently witnessed the murder of George Floyd and the resultant protests for justice and equality it ignited. Hearing these songs, learning the history of the musicians is an enlightening comfort and a beacon of hope for me. As a musician, I must say, in this live performance-though it’s taped and all the players “stage ready”-every person exudes such a joy. I weep watching. “Your life is story like the wind!” Peace, love, and blessings, all.
Lyrics so true today!! The world is full of strange behavior Every man has to be his own savior I know I can make it on my own if I try But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by Underneath the African sky A great heart to stand me by I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and keep me by I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky Sometimes I feel that you really know me Sometimes there's so much you can show me There's a highway of stars across the heavens There's whispering song of the wind in the grass There's the rolling thunder across the savanna A hope and dream at the edge of the sky And your life is a story like the wind Your life is a story like the wind I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and stand me by I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart I see the fire in your eyes I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart That beats my name inside Sometimes I feel that you really know me Sometimes there's so much you can show me I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart (Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo) I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart (Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo) I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and stand me by I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart (Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo) I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart (Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo) I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart (Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo) I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
what is that gong that Johnny is wearing on his left breast pocket... it is neither the OBE nor does it to appear to be the OIS (wrong shape and ribbon looks more red than orange)?
Every artist or actor that Karen interviewed on her show , was given that red token medallion .By means of that red medal , it represents the bearer in being a member of the Republic of Zoid Afrika .
I think it's a 12/8 time signature, as every beat seems divisible by 3. Definitely metric. As for genre, it's that Clegg hybrid genre! Elements of maskandi but based around western rock. The guitar section before the intro could be interpreted as a Western version of izihlabo. The orginal instrumentation is based around a traditional maskandi band, but played in a more western style. :)
This man has meant more for South Africa than any politician.
Amen!!!!! You speak truth 🙏
A english man who made africa feel at one we miss you Johnny we miss you forget racism we are ONE

Stirrs the soul. Personally, I believe that some version of this should be our national anthem.

Godfrey Farao so true.

Proud to be SA. Karen rocks. Johnny always rocked!
She actually f…..d it up, there were lovely intervals where she was silent and the music could continue!!
Makes it so hard to believe, that Johnny Clegg is not here with us anymore. Thank you Karen for this awesome rendition!
We miss you, Johnny!❤
On n'oubliera jamais le Grand Johnny Clegg , qu'il repose en paix , que le Divin , l'accueil dans son royaume
My heart broke when Johnny died. I always cry when I hear this
Me too! Nice to admit it.
RIP great warrior
Will be missed dearly
Dear Johnny, our angel, may you hear us singing with you ... You, the biggest heart ever ... and forever in our hearts ... We miss you so ... Rest in Peace Johnny, we love you 😢
Wonderful, truly. They did so much.
I love the part around about 2:50 where Johnny starts to dance. You can see that he just can't resist it, he has to move... He truly lived and loved music. Great artist.
Just love Johnny's laugh at 1:26 pure joy!
To the great Johnny Clegg... Hamba kahle, mfowethu!
Legende...my hart is sommer nou weer seer...ai Johnny...jy was darem maar net die hartklop van Afrika met jou musiek...

RIP Mr Clegg you are part of the soundtrack of my life.
Johnny Clegg was a complete South African ❤️ liked the "Guga mzimba sala wenhliziyo" part 😍
Seriously..how can one Dislike this? Those who voted thumbs down are warped...probably doing so for the f of it...Shame on u
It's just the people from Australia whose upvotes appear upside down.
I had the privilege of seeing him in Chicago at the Park West in the early 90's. Great memories

@@Allenmarshall The song probably caught them on a bad day.
Hierdie is my absolute favourite duo. what a special moment in time xxx
Great rendition of a brilliant tune. Brings back memories of going to watch Jock of the Bushveld with my mom as a kid.
Why have 47 people disliked this! I love his music

You should listen to Coleske aswell....they really good!
Lyrics so true today!!
The world is full of strange behavior
Every man has to be his own savior
I know I can make it on my own if I try
But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by
Underneath the African sky
A great heart to stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and keep me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
There's a highway of stars across the heavens
There's whispering song of the wind in the grass
There's the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like the wind
Your life is a story like the wind
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
I see the fire in your eyes
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
That beats my name inside
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
AMAZING
Wow what an amazing show by Karen.
RIP Johnny Glegg we mis you.
Wish Karen could have done this with Brenda Fassie too, RIP my Queen .
Lovit ❤
R.I.P legend 😢
The best remix of this song ever 💖💖
Juste un instant de magie ...🙏

RIP Mr Clegg
I love how he`s wearing SAPS issue trousers...
beautiful
He died for the truth!
Incroyable ♥️
RIP Legend ..😢
This is so beautiful.
Perfect
I think Paul Simon learned a thing or two from Johnny Clegg. This would have been perfect on Graceland.
R.I.P Mr Clegg, now leave it over to your son.
RIP Johnny xx
rip my friend
22 Desember 2021 🤟
RIP legend
Love you Karen!
Rest easy legend❤
lindo demais para todo o sempre
somethimes i feel like u realy know me....
I love you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
How sad do you have to be to dislike this? lol Wow, glad I'm not you.
what is that gong that Johnny is wearing on his left breast pocket... it is neither the OBE nor does it to appear to be the OIS (wrong shape and ribbon looks more red than orange)?
Louise Brugman I have read that the French knighted him. Perhaps it’s that.
Every artist or actor that Karen interviewed on her show , was given that red token medallion .By means of that red medal , it represents the bearer in being a member of the Republic of Zoid Afrika .
💔❤️
Het jy ooit vir Jeanne kon interview?
What is the time signature and genre for this song?
I think it's a 12/8 time signature, as every beat seems divisible by 3. Definitely metric. As for genre, it's that Clegg hybrid genre! Elements of maskandi but based around western rock.

If you don't like this song you must go see a psychologist
O
Karen zoid really destroyed that song, shut up and let Johnny sing!!
