‘One’ — U2

This is the third track on “Achtung Baby,” a 1991 album by U2. It was a spin-off from “Mysterious Ways,” the second single. The Rolling Stone said that the Edge came up with two ideas for the bridge. Bono liked the other one so much that he created a new set of lyrics to go with it. Even though “One” turned out to be a wedding hit, they did not expect it. “People have told me they play it at their wedding,” said the Edge. “And I think, ‘Have you listened to the lyrics? It’s not that kind of a song.’”

‘No Woman, No Cry’ — Bob Marley

If you ask us, the best version of “No Woman, No Cry” is not the original version of the 1974 album “Natty Dread.” No, that honor goes to the one in “Live!”, which was performed at the Lyceum Theatre on July 17, 1975. The performance was a part of Bob Marley’s Natty Dread Tour. It did not only change his life, but he also credited the songwriting to a childhood friend named Vincent “Tata” Ford. With its popularity, Ford got to keep his soup kitchen in Kingston above the water.
