Jimmy Cliff "I Can See Clearly Now" "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" & The Tokens

Jimmy Cliff cor 22 (Photo credit: Luiz Fernando / Sonia Maria)I just quit drinking daily... since I found out that liquor turns into acetate in the liver (preventing fat burning!) and it also produces the hormone cortisol which breaks down muscle growth!

Some Sports Nutritionists/Trainers say that even just one drink a week will screw up your metabolism...for several days.

No wonder I was having a hard time seeing the results of my efforts. Anyway, my favorite song of all time says it all: "I Can See Clearly Now" by Jimmy Cliffs.

I was surprised to see that he also sang another favorite of mine: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". And I'd be remiss if I didn't include The Tokens version (which I heard on the radio in 1969 and fell in love with)...

One of My FAVORITE SONGS by two different Artists (Dobie Gray, Uncle Kracker) "DRIFT AWAY"

Image by lolololori via FlickrImage via WikipediaI love 'em both but prefer the original. I remember it on the radio so well: Dobie Gray: "Drift Away", 1972-73.


And the Revision by "Uncle Kracker", 2003: BOTH AWESOME!
