‘One’ — U2

The third song from U2’s 1991 album “Achtung Baby.” It was a side project inspired by the second single, “Mysterious Ways.” According to Rolling Stone, The Edge came up with two bridge concepts. Bono was so taken with the other one that he created new lyrics for it. They were not anticipating “One” to be a wedding smash, despite its success. “People have told me they play it at their weddings,” the Edge explained. “And I think to myself, ‘Have you read the lyrics?'” That’s not the type of music it is.'”

‘No Woman, No Cry’ — Bob Marley

In our opinion, the best version of “No Woman, No Cry,” is not the one from the 1974 album “Natty Dread,” but rather the one from “Live!” The performance took place on July 17, 1975, at the Lyceum Theatre as part of Bob Marley’s Natty Dread Tour. It not only transformed his life, but he also ascribed the songwriting to a childhood friend, Vincent “Tata” Ford. Because of its popularity, Ford was able to keep his soup kitchen in Kingston viable.
