I grew up with some Jimmy Cliff, and also with the hit '70s version of this song, which Johnny Nash recorded. What a sweet performance. I love Jimmy Cliff. Thanks!
Only a little under 9,000 views? That must be wrong,....should be 9 million. This performance was faultless...didn't expect this quality of sound from a Letterman show a quarter of a century ago....thanks for the upload Don.
I knew nothing about who sang this song or that it is Reggae. All I ever knew for many years it that it was the best ever feel good song. Makes me get up and dance and smile everytime.
One day this summer in Alabama we had a breakout of tornadoes next day is was beautiful sunny day had my stereo playing in my garage called my local radio station I said man I sure would like to hear Jimmy cliff I can see clearly after we had that terrible weather yesterday he said you know buddy you're right ill get it on played it the next song put chill bumps on me as I stood there on this beautiful sunny day I
I remember watching this live when I was a junior in college. Me and my neighbor would often smoke weed and watch Dave’s show late at night. Good times!

This is the best rendition of this song... vocals band and entire production is fantastic... #proud Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Nope not even close. Jonny Nash, youtube version wearing black leather, when he was very young.
This is the very Best rendition of this wonderful song. I saw (and recorded it on VHS) the night it originally aired.
That was better than the album cut ! The band and back up singers was right and tight !
There will never be another talk show as great as David Letterman! Thank you Jimmy Cliff for everything you added to music!!
Outstanding performance by Mr. Jimmy Cliff. It's obvious to me by his demeanor and movements that he truly loves his music. A legend indeed.
Where are you now Jimmy 😅😝😅😧😧😧
My favorite version off all time! Love this guy
🌹Wow!! What a great performance!!! Jimmy Cliff is just a wonderful singer!!!

Music is a harmony, no racism or whatever.

If the song does not melt you, the backup singers will

There are songs that can make even the worst days you can experience a little better and I think this song has to be mentioned in that category.
Excellent show for sun to come and never go😎

Saudades anos 80 e anos 90

Just come out from behind the curtains and do a masterful performance. Every piece in place, working like a fine Swiss watch.
Having a bad day hit this tune
❤🎉❤
How can someone downvote this? Must be fans of hurricanes.
Wow
When he was on Midnight Special, big change. He wore leather n chains and didn't present himself as regee. Great song.
Wish this was released instead. Can't stand the Cool Runnings version
Love this guy and this song! Beautiful!

Eddie Murphy on vocals
This is a really great performace, but it lacks that little guitar solo at the end though.
