What is the name of that Bob Marley song where there are a bunch of kids singing? I forget what the lyrics are… its a good song though… anybody know what I am talking about?
“One Love” ???
I thought of Pass The Dutchie, but that’s not Marley.
SonofArizona. Only Marley song with kids I can think of offhand is Say It Loud (I’m Black And I’m Proud!)
Pass The Dutchie is Musical Youth, Biggirl.
One love,
One heart
Let’s get together and feel alright.
(is that the song?)
I’m pretty sure that the One Love version with all the children singing it is a remake. I don’t think there were children singing on the original.
And I think the remake was made for a Jamaica tourism ad campaign. “Come to Jamaica and feel alright.”
The version of One Love appearing on commercials these days is a remake (fortunately (maybe?) without Bob’s vocals, it’s just for Jamaican tourism. They’ve done a few different versions of it and have used it for years. There are no kids on the original version. Amusingly, he wrote a tourist song in his lifetime at the request of the Jamaican government. It’s called Smile, Jamaica. Why not just use that??
That’s James Brown.
SonofArizona, if you can give even a few words or tell us where you heard it, that’d help a lot.

Did Bob Marley ever do a song that had the lyrics, “I’m a rainbow, too.”? If so, what song is it?

Marley23. I am… so… embarrassed.
That’s Sunday Shining Finlay Quaye did a great cover a few years ago.
I learned a song with this line in grade school and it doesn’t sound as if Marley could have written it.
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can be a rainbow, be a rainbow, be a rainbow too.
It sounded much more like a song from the old kid show Magic Garden.
Wasn’t the song with the rainbow in it called " To the Rescue " ??

Which came first, Buffalo Soldier or the theme to the Banana Splits, and is the striking similarity between the two mere coincedence?
You might be thinking of “Rainbow Country”, but it doesn’t actually contain the lyric “I’m a rainbow, too.” He does says “rainbow” quite a few times, however.
The “I’m a rainbow” song…
It’s Bob Marley vs. Funkstar De Luxe
thank you #sd-trivia
Close. It’s Sun is Shining.
Sun is shining
The weather is sweet
Make you want to move
Your dancin’ feet
That’s wrong by the way. A quick googling of “Funkstar De Luxe” reveals that his debut album was in 2001, a full 20 years after Marley’s death.
Funkstar De Luxe remixed an earlier Bob Marley song. I’m fairly sure the remix got a lot more chart exposure than the original did, hence it tends to be associated with the remixer as much as the actual singer.
