    Default Jamaica Songs

    Hi, need help! Just came back from Jamaica and I have this song in my head and I have no idea who sings it....I think it sounds like Bob Marley, and in the song its very slow and calm with the guy singing "freedom"... I know the Redemption song and this is not it. So if anyone can help me that would be awesome!

    "Freedom" by Richie Havens is actually an improvised version of the song, "Motherless Child" that only has guitar accompaniment. Richie added additional verses that just had the word, "Freedom" repeated over and over. He created this version of the song at Woodstock (1969) when he ran out of material while stalling until the next act could make their way to the stage.

    I tried to find a reggae cover of Richie's song but there are over 2000 songs named "Freedom".

    Are you sure it's not Richie's song or a cover of it?
