Bob Marley
"No Woman No Cry," a deeply personal reminiscence of Bob's impoverished life in Trench Town. The songwriting credit was given to V. Ford, more commonly known among his brethren as Tartar. Had it not been for Tartar's kitchen, Bob would literally have starved on occasion. And there really was a "Georgie" who would keep the fire light as the boys played until the early hours of the morning.
"No Woman No Cry" originally recorded in the studio for the Bob Marley and the Wailers 1974 release, "Natty Dread." The version appearing on Live! was recorded at the Rainbow Theater in London in 1975. The audio clip featured here which appears in the Songs of Freedom box set was recorded at the Roxy in Los Angeles.
