1. He also sings it in German

I think he also does it in Italian.

Very interesting.

3. Here's a nice version by Playing For Change

For those who aren’t familiar with Playing For Change, it’s a wonderful movement to connect the world through music, which is perhaps the ultimate universal language.

5. The coolest time I ever saw him was at..

The UN. Outside facing the big lawn. I forget what
the occasion was. They started late because Yousou
N'Dour was held up at Customs.

When he arrived - They did 'Shaking The Tree", pretty sure they did "Biko", and one of my other faves "Freedom (No More Apartheid)".

A wonderrous experience! 💖

6. Wow....

I just realized this song came out 40 years ago. I am sooooo old.

It wears well, like most of his music.

8. I'm old

too. Indeed, this song and many of his others are timeless.
