message: On which DMB album does this cover version appear? I've tried to look in the discography article of DMB and still can't seem to find any information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.72.7.63 (talk) 11:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dave Matthews Cover 

message: I am not sure that we need nine different sound files to represent the different versions of this song. I think Marley's (and maybe his son's version) are all that we need. Thoughts? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I've waited for over three weeks for a response to my inquiry. I will be purging all but those closest to the source of Marley's original version, preferring free source samples but sticking close to the source. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Samples, revisited 

message: This sculpture is called Redemption Song, and is in Jamaica. Here is a link to a blog that describes it (which we cannot use but can serve as a launching point for the search for sources), and a link to the site that talks about Emancipation Park in Jamaica. I am thinking that an image might be culled for use here. As well, we might have a dab term (or even another article) in the statue itself. Thoughts? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 10:43, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emancipation Park statue 

message: I've edited out a large number of versions of this oft-covered song by different bands within the same genre. I think the article is best served by demonstrating how flexible the song is to adaptation by different genres of music. While I think the article would be the strongest with Marley's version, there might be some difficulty in getting it, and I am unsure how to add music. Until then, I am comfortable with his son's version of the song. Thoughts? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 02:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cover versions 

message: I am proposing that Redemption Song (Rihanna song) be merge into this article, as her version is a cover of the original. Dan56 (talk) 21:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion, if a cover version is going to be mentioned, it should be a cover by a well-respected, well-known musician. Personally I'd like to see Johnny Cash's version mentioned. 75.174.121.63 (talk) 05:01, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with everyone else here the Rihanna cover, probably the worst of the lot, should not be given undo prominence over the other cover versions. Given the consensus, and WP policy for bold editing, I'm removing it.--Chimino (talk) 23:29, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge discussion 

message: Dear,
you should mention in this article the version of Stevee Wonder. When I read this article, I wanted to know who wrote this song, Marley or S Wonder?
Iwas not surprised that Bob wrote it but I was surprised that you did not mention the Stevee Wonder version, which is very good too ! -)
Best regards,

thread_title:  Stevee Wonder version 

message: That whole sidebar on how he carries the lyrics around with him is irrelevant, I'm sure there are a thousand other douchey calculated things that clown carries around in his pocket for effect but you don't see references to them in other wiki articles. This should be removed.
