Easy Like Sunday Morning Track - No Woman, No Cry by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is No Woman, No Cry. This live version, recorded in London in 1975, is the most popular version of the song. It was first released on the 1974 album Natty Dread. It is about convincing a woman living in the ghetto that things would get better and to not cry. The second no in the title and chorus is pronounce "nuh" and is the equivalent of "don't".

Marley gave songwriting credits to his friend Vincent Ford who owned a soup kitchen in the ghetto of Kingston, Jamaica where he grew up. Vincent used the royalty money to keep his soup kitchen going.
