I am a coloured 33yr old and Johnny is the only musician to make me cry...I am a grown ass man but I feel his music deeply brother you definitely not alone❤
So true this… saw Jesse last night in NY and on cue, the tears come when he plays this song. So beautiful and it captures well the complicated (and yet so simple) bond between father and son ❤️
Im so sad by Johnny Clegg's passing and the fact that Jesse is so under rated here is SA as a musician and a song writer. Wow such a great song. RIP Baba.
I've loved Johnny from the first drumbeat of "Scatterlings" and ever since. What a man, what a human being. There has simply been no white man who can dance like he did. I didn't know I could feel so much hurt for someone I never actually knew. The world is a lesser place without you Johnny. RIP.
Johnny Clegg meant so much to so many. He embraced a culture not his own with all his heart because he had love in his heart for humanity - a virtue missing in most of our so-called leaders, and a quality which we are in vital need of if we are to survive these difficult times. God rest you, and bless you Johnny Clegg. Your legacy is strong.
This is one of the strongest, and most beautiful songs I have ever heard from a South African Artist. I have been a fan of Johnny Clegg for many, many years. I strongly feel that we lost THE MOST influential singer in our country the day he passed. His music has meant so much to so many!!!! He will truely be missed
JC was someone who played a role in most peoples lives that grew up in SA, even if you didn't know it, no hate in his heart and loved all, I told my wife he is one person I would have loved to have met and spent time with, who is your person living or dead that you wished you had met, I have a few, Nelson Mandela is one, I believe they were both humble people.
RIP white zulu. A colossal of a human being who appreciated life and the beauty of all cultures and thenatural beauty of South Africa. A true example of ubuntu.
Can’t even watch this without sobbing. Was lucky to tech JC and Savuka several times. His music means everything to me and to the world. The planet is truly diminished-2 years ago this week.💔🙏🏽✨
If every South African saw our country through the eyes of this incredible man, we would be living in a reality that Madiba and every great soul that walked through this land had envisioned. Thanks for uniting us through your music. Hamba Kahle Johnny Clegg🌹
True, he did a show on SABC called A Country Imagined. There's a few clips of the show here on RUclips. Watching the show you see the man's love for the people if this land.
if you looking for good people in the world,you just have to come here and look at the comments,music brings people together no matter race,culture.R.I.P Dr. Clegg
Step 1 - Watch Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World Step 2 - Watch I´ve Been Looking Step 3 - Cry.Like.A.Baby ;( RIP Johnny Clegg. You will be sorely missed. A great loss for the world.
I have been listening to Jonny my whole life through my dad Hal Hasseriis, he had always been an absolute fan and he brought me up on his tapes and c’ds growing up on the farm. Dela was our song!! He met my step my step mom Karin Zoller… she was a long time friend of the Clegg family through her brother who had passed in 2010 she took me to my first live concert and it was one of my still today biggest highlights of my life! I had the privilege to take my kids to Jessie Cleggs concert at Reddam house Ballito this year and I must say this song Jonny and Jessie did was the most inspirational song to me and reminded me of my father seeing I hear feel and go through life in such a way he died when I was 12 years old and I am now 34 the love and pain for him never leaves it is never easier! I miss my dad every day!
Good evening Jesse. I still can't be believe that baba Johnny has passed on. I hope you and your family are well and going stronger. And may the Lord help you and your family through these moment. Love you I'm sure his looking at you and smiling
I would love to see a movie made about his life and times with the backdrop of the struggle for freedom referencing Mandela. Working title "Spirit of a Great Heart"
I've had this song on repeat for two hour and balling my eyes out. I don't know how to explain it but I really resonate with this song. Being a child of a father that has achieved amazing things is really heavy on me and amazing at the same time. My heart is spilling over and over... amazing, this is true art! Jesse, let your spirit and soul overflow onto the world. We hear you, we feel you... your music moves us! I'm in love with your art and your message, you are the next generational movement, the rebirth - renewed in all ways! Keep it up
Same experience for me Lindelani. This song is more than just a song. I believe it is spiritual, in the true sense, and able to bring healing between many children and their fathers. Each person has their own journey and story in relation to their father/father figure, and might not identify fully with every WORD in the song, but the SPIRIT will resonate with each one who truly wants the good, and wants to heal and longs for harmony and true healing in their life. I discovered this song this morning and immediately sensed that I should share it with my dad, who is fortunately still alive. I asked him to play it loud and his response indicated that the song is really doing its work - first in me, and also in him. All the best to you on your journey. From one lover of the good to another.
I'm not crying, you're crying... I have had a day in Spain of writing about the Cape and getting homesick... then I watched this. Please pass a big box of tissues 💕❣
I remember seeing Johnny Clegg in Vancouver in I think 1990. It was the last date on his North American tour and I got to meet him after the show, a real gentleman. I also remember seeing his wife and a very young Jesse there. This video reminds me of all the things I miss about my Dad, so great to see Jesse and Johnny on the same stage together.
David Jenkins I saw him in Montreal the same year, it was a fantastic show. Performed many of the Savuka & Juluka hits. It's a shame I never got to see them and Sunny on their reunion tour. I hope he can pull through the cancer, because the thought of him dying really saddens me.
@@RB747domme the venue in Vancouver was quite small, no more than a few hundred people. I remember thinking Sunny would never get his whole band on that little stage. Got to talk to Johnny after the show for a few minutes. He looked exhausted but still took time to talk to us, it's an experience I'll never forget. My Dad died from Cancer so my thoughts are with Johnny at this time.
Johnny, know where you now travel you see your beloved Africa from above. YOU, had such a positive influence in this world, through your music. Long will you be remembered!! Hamba Gashle dear one.
Balling my eyes out. Johnny has meant so much to our family since the 80's- i was lucky enough to be his stage tech in Santa Cruz, CA a few times, and once, watch my 5 yr old daughter get up on stage and sing "Osiyeza". God bless this wonderful family, and please get well, Johnny. The world needs you more than EVER. Bless you.
so beautifully said. Agreed, Amen, please Creator, can you look down with a little mercy on the White Zulu who has done so much for Your Cruel Crazy Beautiful World?
My tear ducts open up and it starts raining on my face every single time I hear this. Epic, beautiful, touching, stirring. A perfect representation of the man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
"I've been looking" at Johnny Clegg video's and interviews since his passing, and this one is the clincher. Boy, is this bringing tears pouring down my cheeks.
I have so many childhood memories of Johnny Clegg music and my parents would be singing, dancing and when he came to Vendaland my parents took us there................... it is memories I cherish with all my heart.............
Such a beautiful song. Well done Jesse.Im sorry for your loss.I saw your dad perform many years ago at the grahamstown festival. What a great larger than life person your dad embodied.love this beautiful song.May you know your father is still part of you always
What a beautiful tribute to a loving father who was a great gift to the world 😢 We all needed and still need Warriors of Light like Johnny Clegg who heal the world through their music. RIP Sir ❤
OMG this is so touching Jesse and Johnny are so amazing thus deserves so many likes and views they have such a great relationship and amazing voices ♥♥❤😘 I can't imagine how much it hurt Jesse when he found out that his dad was sick💔💔💔💔
My voice shakes with sadness as I speak of Johnny Clegg's passing but my eyes light up & my heart swells with patriotic pride whenever I hear a Johnny Clegg song on my radio driving in Johannesburg. He was part of the long glorious summer soundtrack of my youth but now suddenly winter winds are blowing as we begin to understand our own mortality in a world without Johnny Clegg. Thank you coming into our world JC & Thank you for the everlasting gift of your words and music. Until we meet again 🙏🎵🎶🎸❤
What a beautiful Father and Son moment. Jesse you should be proud of your Dad who selflessly raises the plight of the majority the best way he could! If you’ve ever wondered if all superheroes wore capes, yours wore Zulu skins...be comforted . RIP Mr. Johnny Clegg and thank you for your contribution.
I am enjoying this song.... I am in South Africa and I am doing my research about Johnny Clegg, you are the African by everything man..... I am enjoying every information i get about you Johnny. May God bless you..... and my research about is going great. From Nelson Mandela University. I love the song Asimbonanga you are the man, you living music
Jesse you are your Father's son. I have wonderful memories of your Father and the difference he made to South Africa, so pleased he passed on his talent to you ❤
Just stumbled of this. I was a fan of Johnny’s years ago. What a talent his son is and how wasn’t this a massive global hit? And why isn’t this clip viral?
Great man and musician - he spoke to so many people from around the world. I was fortunate enough to see him in person and up close during three different concerts in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin, USA many years ago. But those memories still make me happy. His song "The Crossing" came out shortly after my husband died. I must have listened to it hundreds of times over the years. It was only a few days ago I found out Johnny had passed in 2019. It felt like I'd lost a friend. So glad Jesse is also talented musician - we need more Clegg music making this world s better place. My condolences to his family - if I felt like I've been kicked hard upon hearing of his passing recently, I can only imagine their grief. Godspeed Johnny - we lost another light in a world that so often only focuses on the gray areas of this "Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World."
Every time I lose a family member, my dad, my mom, my brother I feel the loss to Africa. Losing Johnny feels the same. A bit of africa lost to me. May his family grow in the warmth of the African sun.
Johnny, you have brought so much to so many young people in Africa and gave everyone hopes you will be greatly missed, but I am sure you're entertaining our Lord with your songs. I will also miss your music and songs as you have done so much and you never asked for anything in return as you were a blessing to others and may you rest in peace.
😢. Johnny is love; he's in the Heavens where he's been since birth. His earthly teachings ended on earth age 66. Surely he's dancing, singing, and loving the beauty of souls in concert with friends behind the pearly gates.
This video reached Friesland, that's somewhere in the Netherlands. Clegg and his bandmates deserve a lot more appreciation for the art they have delivered. It's truely outstanding.
How fortunate can one be to have this kind of extraordinary legacy - son of Africa. He was different and will foréver reverberate over the Zululand Valleys and Hills, places of meaning...
The memory of him and his group and family will be with us for many many more years. He will stay - how can we ever forget his songs and what he did in his life, the farewell shows . Condolences to his family and friends his music and memories will stay. Respect my friend.
Hi Jesse, stunning song. You've an incredible voice that has a special resonance. Love this song - no idea why it's not bigger than it is. What a special moment this must have been for you and your dad.
Just emotional. I will miss you and I do so. All the best to your wife and your son, Johnny! I will always love your music. Best wishes from Germany. Armin
Johnny Clegg is not gone he is in our hearts. When I heard his dad got cancer I cried I never wanted to loose my dad. Everyone needs love. I wish Jesse a good time so sorry 😐😭😭♥️♥️♥️
Sitting here in my garage here in Ireland listening to this pissing my eyes out. Jonny was a living legend. He'd be very proud of his son 💪🏻
Just did exactly the same , makes you mis home a little bit.
I am a coloured 33yr old and Johnny is the only musician to make me cry...I am a grown ass man but I feel his music deeply brother you definitely not alone❤
With love from south africa ❤
You are a Legend. Love your work my Bru
So true this… saw Jesse last night in NY and on cue, the tears come when he plays this song. So beautiful and it captures well the complicated (and yet so simple) bond between father and son ❤️
I’m heartbroken for Jesse😢 not only did he lose his dad to cancer, but he recently lost his wife also. My heart is shattered
This guy loved South Africa with all his heart...Rest in power Sir you will forever be in our hearts...
He was an amazingl human wasnt he? One for us all to aspire to in this hurting world
He was an amazing human being indeed
@@reneswart5655 He truly was🙏 RIP Johnny Clegg
Thank God we have his son, sons...he would have something to say about the world today...I hope for the best mankind can be.
Yes, i think same too 🌹🌹🌹
Black, White, and Everyone else in Africa and from Africa, WE LOVE YOU.
The whole continent loves you.
RIP
Who’s hearing this song for the first time and also after hearing the sad news of JC’s passing?
RIP LEGEND OF LEGENDS! Hamba kahle Son of the soil!
Cooking Vittori Me
Me too. Been listening to the “In my African dream” album the whole day. This guy was an African icon.
I'm hearing this for the first time. And it's beautiful 🙏
Such a tear jerker! Hope they recorded more like this.
Its a great tune though first time listening to it. RIP Legend
Im so sad by Johnny Clegg's passing and the fact that Jesse is so under rated here is SA as a musician and a song writer. Wow such a great song. RIP Baba.

He found a meaning with life in Africa, and he has awoken something in me with his music. God bless you Johnny Clegg.
oh gosh, couldn't stop the tears. this must've been so tough on both of them to sing.
The way Jesse moves his head is just like johnny
That's exactly what I was saying to someone. So beautiful to watch
That is exactly what I noticed first off. Beautiful song and stunning voice.
So true. I can't watch this without crying. Jesse will carry on the Clegg legacy in his own way 💔

❤️ RIP Johnny! ... what a great memory for a child !
William vR - So sad to lose a legend like Johnny Clegg. A great memory for Jessie and their family!
Gut-wrenching to watch. Soooo beautiful and sad at the same time.
This man was the living embodiment of South African music at its best ❤
Before leaving this world, let me tell you how much I loved your Dad's music !
Step 1 - Watch Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World
Step 2 - Watch I´ve Been Looking
Step 3 - Cry.Like.A.Baby ;(
RIP Johnny Clegg. You will be sorely missed. A great loss for the world.
I skipped step 1 and still cried like a baby
still crying like a baby 2 years on. i miss Johnny that much. but Jesse mafana makes my heart soar.

Crushed by the news, but awed by Jesse's talent and skill. The Clegg name will live on. Rest in Power, Johnny
what a powerful memory left behind , Prayers to the Clegg Family .
Rest in peace my south Africa brother .....how I wish there will be 50 million south Africans like you .....
Soooooo sad that Johnny Clegg passed on. I am still in disbelief!!!!
As someone who was listening to Johnny 20+ years ago, it's so damn good to see him singing with his little boy. I cry every time.
Adored Johnny for decades. Will miss him.
Shattered to hear about the passing of Johnny Clegg. Condolences and respect to the Clegg family

Jesse, you're doing your father so much justice. I adore both of you!
June 21, 2000 he was in France for La fête de la musique, singing in front the city hall of Noisy Le Grand. It was awesome.
That moment at 3.50... The build up to that Johhny move, 👏 POWERFUL
I have so many childhood memories of Johnny Clegg music and my parents would be singing, dancing and when he came to Vendaland my parents took us there................... it is memories I cherish with all my heart.............
Oh wow. There are no words to describe how this song made me feel.
Nearly in tears after watching this now... RIP Johnny... no one will ever come close to what you did.
Not only you, it feels like a family member did pass away.
Crying listening to this song again. Beautifully emotional song. ❤️
Such a beautiful song.
Well done Jesse.Im sorry for your loss.I saw your dad perform many years ago at the grahamstown festival.

Commenting again because this song is just so kinda deep and I really love it. It plays with your emotions...quite sad really
So sorry to hear about Johnny Clegg. What a great man!
Gosh I just watched this several times over. Makes me long for my dad and my son at the same time.
I'm so heartbroken, like so many😢💔..BEAUTIFUL song..
Way back about 1990’s I saw Johnny Clegg in NYC’s Summer Stage in Central Park. It was the absolute most amazing experience of my life
A sad day for South Africa - what a very very sad loss - a huge part of my youth ... I cant ever replace
When you lose your ballie and feel this song, tears bru tears.
Jesse is every bit as talented and passionate as his dad was. And every bit the nicest possible person, always going the extra mile for his fans
Brilliant. He has always touched the souls. He is immortal. May Jesse continue the tradition.
Every time I lose a family member, my dad, my mom, my brother I feel the loss to Africa. Losing Johnny feels the same. A bit of africa lost to me. May his family grow in the warmth of the African sun.
Every time I watch this video, I tear up. And it's because this world is worse off without you Johnny Clegg. I miss you. I feel this world miss you.
Johnny, you have brought so much to so many young people in Africa and gave everyone hopes you will be greatly missed, but I am sure you're entertaining our Lord with your songs. I will also miss your music and songs as you have done so much and you never asked for anything in return as you were a blessing to others and may you rest in peace.
😢. Johnny is love; he's in the Heavens where he's been since birth. His earthly teachings ended on earth age 66. Surely he's dancing, singing, and loving the beauty of souls in concert with friends behind the pearly gates.
God ....... why do the best get taken ? ...... I'll never forget you Johnny ....
Legendary Johnny...is there a genre he couldnt embody? indeed King of time he was...RIP
This video reached Friesland, that's somewhere in the Netherlands. Clegg and his bandmates deserve a lot more appreciation for the art they have delivered. It's truely outstanding.
O wow father and son...true bond of love. ..golden voices indeed. A legend gone to his creator. RIP our beloved entertainer. U will b sorely missed
How fortunate can one be to have this kind of extraordinary legacy - son of Africa. He was different and will foréver reverberate over the Zululand Valleys and Hills, places of meaning...
The memory of him and his group and family will be with us for many many more years. He will stay - how can we ever forget his songs and what he did in his life, the farewell shows . Condolences to his family and friends his music and memories will stay. Respect my friend.
The more I listen to Johnny and now Jesse - the Clegg name will live on... RIP Johnny, keep strong Jesse and family!
I'm looking/listening at this with tears in my eyes. Johny was the epitomy of the new South Africa! Love you always.
Hi Jesse, stunning song. You've an incredible voice that has a special resonance. Love this song - no idea why it's not bigger than it is. What a special moment this must have been for you and your dad.
Just emotional. I will miss you and I do so. All the best to your wife and your son, Johnny! I will always love your music. Best wishes from Germany. Armin
I saw them together at the Durban leg of the Journey tour. It was incredibly moving
Our Nations Treasure… Rest Softly Mr Clegg. Your music makes me proud to be South African
Rest in peace, Johnny. You left big footprints in Africa, and your music and legend will live on.
Johnny Clergy was a true South African at heart
Thinking of you today, Johnny and my mum. Both passed this year. Hard day.... These are the things I can't replace...
😢
Oh my word. I am so saddened by this. Gosh, we loose good people too soon...:-(
Thank you for the music Johnny. Damn I miss you....
Rest in Peace Johnny Clegg, hamba kahle umfowethu 🇿🇦 ❤️
Beautiful Song. R.I.P Johnny..you sure left a legacy. May the Family find comfort and strength in Almighty God.
Johnny Clegg is not gone he is in our hearts.
When I heard his dad got cancer I cried I never wanted to loose my dad. Everyone needs love.
I wish Jesse a good time so sorry 😐😭😭♥️♥️♥️
