>>> I thought it was by UB 40 in the eighties, but just googled and found out abt Neil Diamond. I was looking for it in Youtube for the UB 40 version and Bob Marley popped up. Anyway, like the song..

My question was whether Bob Marley really sang that version - it sounded like UB40 to me.

The original song was meant to be a sad one but UB40 gave it an upbeat tempo.

>>>> I just went and looked at the you tube comments, where several people have indicated this isn't Marley. Seems like false advertising to put his face on it. Anyway, I also listened to the UB 40 (love the black and white visuals). Sounds exactly the same as in the marley clip. The other thing I found curious was Marley would have had problems with alcohol. I wasn't aware of this rasta prohibition (unless this was made up by the poster)

I don't know about alcohol but Rastas certainly liked their marijuana.

Here's Peter Tosh:
