"No Woman, No Cry" is a reggae song by Bob Marley & the Wailers. The song first became known in 1974 through the studio album ''Natty Dread''. The live version from the 1975 album ''Live!'' was released as a single and is the best known version — it was included on the greatest hits compilation ''Legend'' and was recorded at the Lyceum Theatre in London on July 19, 1975 as part of his ''Natty Dread Tour''. The original demo version of the song which is unreleased was a Gospel version. This version had only the piano riff as the main instrument and was recorded in London for Island Records in 1973 with Peter Tosh and some unknown female backing singers. At the same time of this recording, the demo of the Island version of "Lively up Yourself" was also recorded. This was the last time all three original Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Neville "Bunny" Livingston - also known as Bunny Wailer) recorded together in a studio. These versions remain unreleased. The live version of the song ranked No. 37 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ==Writing credit== Though Bob Marley may have written the song,〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7806778.stm No Woman No Cry 'songwriter' dies, BBC (2009-01-01) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = BBC )〕 or at least the melody, songwriter credits were given to Vincent Ford, a friend of Marley's who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown, the ghetto of Kingston, Jamaica where Marley grew up. The royalty payments received by Ford ensured the survival and continual running of his soup kitchen.〔(No Woman, No Cry : Rolling Stone )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Woman, No Cry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
