Hats off to your Uncle Bob. I know not many wanted to be there but they did what they had to do. My Father In Law was in Vietnam from '67-69 and is now suffering the effects of Agent Orange. He is 79 and has debilitating Parkinson's and Dementia. He can't walk on his own and often doesn't remember who my wife (his daughter) is. He can't care for himself at all. He can't remember how to even properly use the toilet. It's a weird disease. Anyway, it was a b.s. war that didn't need to happen.
''VIETNAM'' de Jimmy Cliff avait mis un terme définitif à la guerre du Vietnam après que les familles des soldats américains ont écouté cette triste chanson et qu'elles se sont révoltées contre le gouvernement américain et demandé le rapatriement sans délais de leurs enfants qui mourraient comme des mouches au Vietnam dans une guerre injuste contre un peuple qui aspirait à la liberté. Suite à ces révoltes causées par Jimmy Cliff, le gouvernement américain a cédé et a quitté le Vietnam en capitulant. On doit la fin de cette sale guerre à cette sublime chanson de Jimmy Cliff. Thanks to Jimmy Cliff the best musical singer of hall times. Love for ever.
Je viens de repenser à cette chanson avec la guerre en Palestine maintenant. On ne peut pas répéter le passé - même si on n’était pas vivant à l’époque, on s’en souvient
😢❤wow! I never thought there was a story in this song. When I was young I listened to this on D.C Cab movie plenty of times...only to get older and realize! Someone didn't come home from the war in Vietnam and sorrow for a family! Many truths in this song about lots of men that didnt come home from that war.May God bless you and keep you from hurt,harm, or danger ❤ in these times 🙏 ❤️ 😊
I was living in the USA during Vietnam war - the weekly newspaper of the small town I was regularly brought information about local soldiers in war - missing, wounded or dead. Terrible years those ones. Jimmy Cliff had a perfect glimpse of the time.
The Vietnamese lost around 3 million soldiers and civilians while the US lost ,54000 military mostly poor working class soldiers. The US should never have been in Vietnam but have they meant no ,they continue with their unwanted military presence and bully boy imperialism.
One of the best anti-wars songs ever; sang with such soul & compassion by Mr Cliff. "Charlie Don't Surf" by the clash is another great & surprisingly, "last train to Clarksville" by the Monkees was an anti war song about the Vietnam war.
Scouse Sean I’m a 65 yr old guy from Western Australia, lost an older friend at Long Tan. Gough Whitlam saved me from the war by 1 year, I was 18. But I saw “The Harder They Come” at a midnight, drug soaked screening at the Octagon, UWA. We loved (still do) our Reggae and harsh summer nights-a great life. Still watch the movie each year. RASTAFARI!!
Bob Dylan called Cliff's single "Vietnam" the best protest song he had ever heard. "I met Paul Simon and he said to me that he and Bob Dylan sat up for a whole night together listening to my albums one after another. That made me proud." Jimmy Cliff.
@@danmaltby3271 I think the "somebody stop the war" slides it into anti war protest. I remember when I first heard it in 1976 ,. It was definitely a protest song then
Very emotive song,highlights the unpredictability of those in the Vietnam conflict and for their friends and families. Deepest respect and love to the brave who fell and their brothers that survived .
It is almost impossible to listen to this song and not think of the many friends I lost in Vietnam. They died fighting for something many didn't have at home
Kids in London's East End were grooving to Jimmy Cliff, black and white during the 60's and early 70's. I was little but I remember this being played at parties. I was too young to understand but I loved singing the chorus.
Jimmy cliff. Il ne laisse personne indifférent tellement ses chantons ont toutes un sens éternel. Jimmy clif ne chante pas avec sa seule belle voix mais davantage avec le cœur. Dans la dénonciation des injustices et des cruelles inéquités qui persistent dans cette planète pourrie, Jimmy Cliff reste, dans le domaine de la musique d'engagement et de conscientisation, le seul et dernier des Mohicans.

Some people are said to have the voice of an angel but every now and then somebody comes along with a voice so soulful that even the angels have to stop and listen.
Growing up my dad was such a great fan of Jimmy cliff. Everyone knew him. His office. Church. We all knew my dad and his love for Jimmy cliff. As soon as the old man could afford it, he went to Jamaica and had tea with Jimmy cliff all the way from Nigeria. Now we won't hear word
Just one of these wonderful songs that will forever be with us. Thank you. Truly remarkable how hard hitting it can be. loved the film The Harder they come. been with me since growing up and on my mind all the time. thank you.
This was the music that drew me as a very young girl in elementary school to Jimmy Cliff and am still drawn to this song Vietnam, very sweet melody, brings me to tears because it is too emotional and as aperson who has witnessed an ethno-religious crisis, I kind of understand a little bit when Jimmy says somebody please stop that war !
@@GRIM_7REAPER thank you for this piece, it's really an eye opener for me seeing I know almost next to nothing on this. I love learning and acquiring new ideas and knowledge and also I understand what you mean, we will later agree on how to continue with this as this platform is not the best , am honoured, thanks.
Đức Phạm I apologize to the INNOCENT people who were involved in the conflict however I will never apologize for the men who attacked and killed US soldiers. And I hope Lyndon B. Johnson was punished for what he did to our country
For communism , and it was a civil war , half the country did not want it, you commie fucks forced it on the whole country. Fuck you and your commie pals. How is your country doing now. Shitty except for the fact that you basically sold out to capitalism for the elite anyways. Stupid. Shameful americans died for you fucks
While butthurting, take a look at the map and figure out where is usa, and where is Vietnam. After such a powerfull discovery (for you) ask yourself ( a rhetorical) question - "What the fuck yankee have forgotten on the another side of the globe?"
Back during the late '60s and early '70s, I can still remember seeing convoys of tanks and jeeps going up and down the highway. We still have polaroid snapshots of them on Interstate-85.
Why? The U.S. was never under the threat of invasion?? Tanks rolling about were on exercise or trying to curb anti vietnam unrest, and stop the grateful dead doing an encore at woodstock 😂
"Mistress Brown, your son is dead" - That is such a gut punch. There are few moments in any songs that caught me like that did. I think it's because of the upbeat melody of the song, and when that comes it's just 'oh shit'.
I've heard this song when 10 years old at 1970s and did not understand yet about Vietnam conflict. My mother explained me that is a sad song about American people : mother, father, wife, sister & brother, all family, friends in US that everyday get news, letter, telex etc : bring death info from Vietnam battlefield.
1972 Gino’s Disco Singapore, with a beautiful girl Sue, I wonder what ever happened to her. Happy memories from almost half a century ago. How time passes and youth leaves us. A very thought provoking song at the time.
A Royal Navy vet and yes at that time the Vietnam War was raging. It was drawing to a close on my next deployment in 1975 and the frigate I served on did end up off the coast of Vietnam, but that is another story.
In the year 2021 at the age of 76 I still enjoy this song as one of the best anti war songs. Mrs Brown you son is dead says it all. There was a lot of thoughts put in the lyrics.
As a Vietnam Veteran, the real tragedy is that the soldiers (58,212) who gave up their life, were not fighting to keep the US safe, it was fought, because the misguided US government thought we were fighting the spread of communism, I guess they learned nothing from Korean War... the persons only benefited from Vietnam was the Military Industrial Complex... 35K non combatants were killed and thousand wounded near the Plain of Jars... Wars are not video games, real people, children, mothers, fathers, families perish.
A sad, cautionary tale detailing the folly of war. And all to a driving reggae beat! This is is as good as any protest song coming out of the U.S. at the time.
Flew over the Mekong delta in 74. What had been a thick jungle with many small villages was now a moonlike landscape landscape with craters within craters thanks to Dow Chemicals and Monsanto and their Napalm and agent orange distributed by the US forces along with other explosives. The sight made me cry !!
This song ❤ not much people do songs about war this song hits differently no words to explain it ❤ condolences to all the men that went to war to fight for their country ❤
The movie D.C. Cab brought me to this video. I met Jimmy Cliff on a flight from NY to London in 1986. He was such a nice guy. We were teenagers and when we boarded the plane and saw him in first class, we went NUTS!!! I'm a Jimmy Cliff fan for life! 💚💛♥@MzSherice202
Alles gut leute. All of us. The real question is. Who can't remember this song? On the one hand those years sucked! Waiting for your draft number to be called up. That was scary shit. We hoped the war would end. But we didn't know if it would. And every night there it was in our face on the evening news. Or the next morning on the front page of the newspaper. Our country had not been as divided on an issue since the civil war. And every year brought you closer and closer to draft age. Forcing us to consider going to R.O. T. C. Which branch to voluntarily join before the draft came calling? Or thinking about crossing the boarder into Canada 🇨🇦. And then you would see the Men dressed in formal attire. When they came to our little community to deliver that dreaded news. And the following day seeing a gold star in their window. The family had three stars in their window. It made me feel weak and scared. Not because I might go next and get killed too. No, because I didn't know what to say to those people. Was cake or bread going to comfort them? Or make them even conscious? That lady lost three of her sons. And then it was suddenly drawing down and coming to an end. Then the "boat people" came. And yes we did. We took them in. We had to. Anything less was unconscionable. And then it was over. America lost more than 58,000 of her sons. For what? Sigh..! On the other hand. Those of us who were nervously waiting in line. Got laid and got high. As often as we could. We knew each time might be our last time? The Vietnam war scarred all of us. May the fallen, on both sides, rest in peace.
About 1964, when I was a kid, I saw a little picture in an encyclopedia of a young Hmong woman holding her baby. I thought she was the most beautiful woman and I wanted to be her, holding that beautiful baby. I hope she and her baby were able to hide from the war.
In world history class, we had a stations assignment on Vietnam. One of the stations was listening to Vietnam war songs and determining if they were pro war or anti war. I listened to this and Ballad of the Green Berets.

Thank you Jimmy. This song activates the sad story of soildiers that died in Vietnam for what history records as unjustified.
I Wonder. If my UNCLE BOB has ever heard this song. He was in VIETNAM. 1966 1968. 4TH INFANTRY U.S. ARMY

Nobody tells it like Jimmy, he speaks for the poor and powerless. Always has always will............................my hero.
A real Powerful song. Among the best as far as I’m concerned ; Especially for those who lived through that era.
"THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE HIT SONGS ......THANK YOU JIMMY......!
and yet never played
I forgot this song. Can't forget how Vietnam touched so many people in the US. As always Jimmy Cliff is a master at his craft.
I am so proud be born to Jamaican parents. I love listening to music from my mother and father generation. Feel lucky 🍀.

@@Konigdok exactly, people have been at war since recorded history, and before then
certainly so my friend war seems inevitable to the detriment of the world we live in 🙏🕊️
It is almost impossible to listen to this song and not think of the many friends I lost in Vietnam. They died fighting for something many didn't have at home
They died for absolutly Nothing, such a pointless senless useless tragedy
No one wins in war except the people not not fighting - RIP civilians,,, Napalm such a peaceful weapon on children

the memories of that bloody awful war should be enough to make people stop and think. BUT SADLY NOT

67 war das eine schöne zeit.Wurde immer gespielt Beilin neukölln in der Disco Boys&Girls.
Alles gut leute. All of us. The real question is. Who can't remember this song? On the one hand those years sucked! Waiting for your draft number to be called up. That was scary shit. We hoped the war would end. But we didn't know if it would. And every night there it was in our face on the evening news. Or the next morning on the front page of the newspaper.

Anything less was unconscionable. And then it was over. America lost more than
58,000 of her sons.
For what? Sigh..!
On the other hand. Those of us who were nervously waiting in line. Got laid and got high. As often as we could. We knew each time might be our last time?
The Vietnam war scarred all of us.
May the fallen, on both sides, rest in peace.
The best song of all time!
the best ever protest song.

This song is absolutely irresistible.
Very sad song. Always made me cry. History repeats itself. We have lost scores of young gallant men and women in senseless wars.
This has been ongoing since 10 000 years...
