Reggae雷鬼音樂是源自西印度群島的一種舞曲,以來自牙買加的最出名,在流行歌壇有Jimmy Cliff、Peter Tosh 這二個歌手與來自英國伯明翰的跨種族雷鬼樂團 UB40較有知名度,其中UB40以雷鬼調所唱的Red Red Wine(UK1)及 I Can't Help Falling in Love(UK2) ,在Billboard Hot 100排行榜都獲得冠軍。
談起雷鬼音樂不得不提起Bob Marley這位傳奇雷鬼歌手,Bob Marley 1945年出生於牙買加Rhoden Hall,1981年因癌症去世,他是一位雷鬼歌手、作曲人與吉他手,他以Bob Marley And The Wailers之名闖蕩歌壇,Peter Tosh即The Wailers團員之一,Bob 的兒子 Damian 與 Ziggy Marley也分別組成Damian Marley" Jr. Gong "及Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers雷鬼樂團。
Bob Marley在排行榜上有幾首暢銷曲,但名次都不高,可是在滾石雜誌的500首最受歡迎歌曲榜有4首作品列名,證明他的歌受到專業評審的青睞,其中名次最高的是的第37名的"No Woman, No Cry"(1975年現場錄製)。
50年代後期Bob
Marley住在牙買加的"Government
Yard in Trench Town"那是一個公辦住宅,Bob Marley在 "No Woman, No Cry"這首歌裡提及他這個老家,他也把這首歌的創作與兒時的朋友Vincent"Tata"Ford共享,這也等於幫Vincent開的金士頓湯餐廳因而能繼續運轉。
Bob Marley 1984年出版的專輯〈Legent〉,在滾石雜誌邀請300位音樂界專業人士票選出的專輯行榜中獲得46名,是歌迷們不會錯過的經典唱片。
推薦你這一首越聽越好聽的雷鬼音樂"No Woman, No Cry"。

No
woman, no cry
No
woman, no cry
No
woman, no cry
No
woman, no cry
Say,
Say,
Say, I
remember when we used to sit
In a
government yard in Trenchtown
Ob-ob-Observing
the hypocrites
As they
would mingle with the good people we meet
Good
friends we have
Oh, good
friends we have lost
Along
the way
In this
great future,
You
can't forget your past
So dry
your tears, I say
No
woman no cry
No
woman no cry
Little
darling, don't shed no tears
No
woman no cry
Said I
remember when we use to sit
In the
government yard in Trenchtown
And
then Georgie would make the fire lights
while
the log wood burnin through the night
Then we
would cook cornmeal porridge
Of
which I'll share with you
My feet
is my only carriage
And so
I've got to push on through,
Oh,
while I'm gone
Everything
's gonna be all right
Everything
's gonna be all right
No
woman no cry
No
woman no cry
Woman
and sister
Don't
shed no tears
No
woman no cry
