I feel like Labi never really got the recognition he deserved, a truly fantastic singer-songwriter. I feel like if he was around a decade or two earlier he would have been known as one of the greats.
Decade or two later in my opinion. I also think he was born in the wrong country. He would have had much more success in the US. He's been sampled to death by American artists. He's like a Curtis Mayfield.
Norn Itus I agree wholeheartedly!
Wonderful rendition...always a class act 👍
@@shanemeadows1810 Got to agree with you there. Still can't understand why his profile in the music industry never reached the heights it deserved. In the early 70's when Labi came on the scene we were bombarded with glam rock, phoney synthesizers and Osmonds. Shamefully the TV and radio broadcasters wrapped themselves up in this guff at the expense of talented singer/songwriters like Labi.
He was incredible and this resonates so much with USA TODAY
Amazing man, voice and everything
The most underrated writing/singing talent, I reckon.
not underrated...and........he gave us so much.
Labi Siffre played a couple of gig in the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms, over 20 years ago now. Both times the venue was packed and at the end he got a spontaneous standing ovation from the entire audience. One of the finest performers I have seen live. Such a lovely, modest man too.
The most underrated Artist ever to grace our shores-period.......his back catalogue speaks for itself......
amazing! he makes it sound so fresh after all these years , one of the most underated singer songwriters to grace the planet.
that is one of the best performances he's ever done. Scrap that, that's one of the best performances ever. Seamless, tender, wise and beautiful. It's what every songwriter, singer & musician aims to be. And he's all three.
This song is an anthem of hope and strength against adversity.
I love it when artists like this get better as they age - more depth and beauty to this lovely song than ever.
Absolutely 💯
SUBLIME!!!! I was just scrolling through my 'favourites' and this song came on. I am broken at the moment as my beautiful granddaughter took her life 7 weeks ago in a Mental Health Unit, we are struggling to keep the story 'national'.........listening to the words have boosted my resolve to keep on shouting for justice, no matter what is put in our way. #justiceforchristie
God bless you always.....x
i am so sorry to hear your sad words.stay strong dear heart and stay safe
God bless her. R I P
♥️♥️♥️
I hope you got your justice. x
My late Mum Adored This Song..
..Something Inside So Strong. Today i continue to living my life... (Remembering The Values and The Invalues of life in which my mum taught me.❤).
* Something Inside So Strong * 💓
British Legend. Born in Hammersmith, London. How come i didn't know about this until now? This man is never on our TV/news
True, however those who know, know! Madness covered his song "Must be Love" and Eminem/Dr Dre sampled his song "I got the" which was used recently in an episode of "Better Call Saul", and this song was an anti apartheid anthem in the 80's. But I agree with your point he's sorely underrated/unknown.
Probably cos he didn't sell his soul!!
I fell in love with Labi Siffre’s music in 1971, I still feel the same in 2022
I find all Labi's songs touching.
As I recall this song was an anthem for Nelson Mandela whose followers were campaigning for his freedom during apartite in South Africa.
How does this not have millions of views? Breathtaking performance.
This is just magic. Aint nobody gonna tell me different.
Speechless, this voice reaches into my heart and makes me full of sadness/joy - go figure!!
Labi you are amazing
thanks
btw my name is also Labi so yeah
Same here. Makes me cry in a very good way.
What a brilliant artist. Excellent musician. What an anthem.
Shit i can't listen to this without crying - insanely good. Impossibly soulful, gets me every time. Perfect melody, inspiring lyrics and what a performance, its got it all
respect mr Siffre !! when I was 11 I had to translate this song with my class, you were a big part in the teaching what's right and wrong and gave me a great sence to protect the weak and help needed, thank you for your big part in forming my soul
After all these years, still an amazing rendition of this wonderful song.
Yes very much awe-inspiring
A true talent, with a voice that holds up all these years later.
I keep coming back to this. I just love the tone of voice and message
He is one of the greatest artists ever !
What is Labi Sifre doing now ? ♿
Yes he is...
Нет он урод
I have loved this man since the 1970s. First single I bought was Watch Me. I swear he sings better now than he did then! Phenomenal performance. Thank you Mr Siffre
This genius song has a message that is always relevant in this world ❤️never ever gets old ❤️❤️❤️
Staggeringly beautiful
Still one of the best..one hell of a great singer
Fantastic! Got better with age! What a version! And great sentiments too. Just wonderful!
Really soulful and meaningful rendition
What a voice, what a song. As a long time fan it's great to see him after such a long hiatus. Wonderful to have you back my man, we've missed your talent and your soul! I look forward to new material and maybe a tour .... please ........ :-)
i love this guy,he has the same name as me,his voice is sheer class,he is just amazing
Unbelievable Performance - WOW - This Voice 🤩🥹🤩
They way he looks at the end like he'd jist searched deep in his soul to perform that ❤
can't believe it.... love him more than ever after seeing him on Jules
Beautiful!! Just beautiful!! This version needs to be released NOW.
He's gone more 'soul" but evolving beautifully as a performer. Powerful, emotive song and artist.
Labi Siffre thank you for being such a Beautiful, Wonderful Musical Inspiration to us all, you make my heart sing xx my head too :)
I concur with you 💯 👌 👍 🙌 ❤
My favourite person in the world just lost his job and I just want to dedicate this wonderful song to him
I love you Lenny.
Absolutely breathtaking
Beautiful voice!
Goosebumps after 4 seconds. I'm in.
I've seen that tv show and film.
This man is simply amazing.
A great great artiste. He just gets better. More power to you, Labi !
Omg!! i didn't expect it to be this good. 😃
MezMezMez1 Voice still there & wonderful
Please please please put up It must be love from the show on Friday! It was so beautiful and I want to play it on repeat forever!
i even emailed the bbc to ask them and they said they don't have the rights! what a joke! i want to play it on repeat forever too and now it is destined to sit on a computer or tape in the bbc basement. what a crime!
AMAZING what a great singer song writer , why have I only just heard of him , I'm 54 !
The official anthem for those who dont know how strong they are until they are backed into a corner
Wow Isaac .... what a profound thing to say.
Nah he would hav been great anyway
and they steal land of another nation make sense
HMMMMM..I THINK EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET IS ON AN EDGE AND TO HELP ALL TO KEEP ON💃✌👩👩👦👦👘🐲🐞🌹🌹🌹
I'm in tears.... beautiful
Hugs man respect
Listen to 'So Strong' the album weekly. Amazing songs, ALL of them.
Loved this since the first time I heard it at the Princes Trust concert on 1987!!
Saw the man in Oxford back in the 80s on the same bill as Linda Lewis if my memory serves me well,amazing voice and presence on stage!
The song is excellent 👍👍👍👍👍
God bless this man
Anyone can tell me why this dude is so underated? He is amazing.
Puts all of himself into it, superb!
Great to see you Labi. Sounding great.
What an amazing update on a classic from the genius himself!!!! Thank you Labi for your integrity in a fake world!!!
Iconic. One of the greatest songs of all time.
I've always loved this, but that has just blown me away
This is amazing live 🙏🏾
Well that just got better after all these years. Brilliant.
What a voice!!!!!!!
One of the greatest.
A man who loves all.
There is not many of his type today
Can't help but absolutely love it
I Just Feel Like Labi Siffre never really got the recognition he deserved, a truly fantastic singer-songwriter! I feel like if he was around a decade or two, he would have been known to audiences as one of the all time greats!
This is unbelievably cool :) :) :)
i have loved this man's music for a long time . Thank you Labi , always music of intelligence and integrity. Thankyou ♥
His singing and storytelling through his god given talents are unsurpassed. Sadly, sometimes as a mixed race UK by birth citizen I see real talent quashed through difference all too often. Labi is so good it's undeniable even to snubbers. God bless him for following his pre intended journey
thanks for posting a inspirational song
Richard Hope-Hawkins

Have you ever had a moment when a name just pops into your head, yet you have no idea why? That happened to me this morning.
I have had a very difficult few days. I woke up crying. I had my breakfast and made a second cup of tea and the name, Labi Siffre came into my head. A name I have heard before, just no recollection of who.
When I googled the name, this RUclips clip came up. Wow, what a beautiful song. One I am familiar with, just not heard for some time.
I listened to every word, so very relateable. How do you explain that?
An absolute genius
Amazing performance of an important, powerful and beautiful song, superb
Now this makes my tears fall
A true freedom warrior and amazing artist
This man has matured well.
Beautiful 💚💚💚
OUTSTANDING

Sheer Class.
