[edit] No Woman No Cry description

I fail to see how this song could ever be called "misogynistic". There is no commentary within the song that is in any way negative towards a female, and also throughout the song Marley is literally singing about comforting a woman who is crying.


[edit] Personnel

Previously the list under the personnel heading was very long, but I shortened it and cleaned it up a bit. My source for the information was the latest CD re-issue of the album.

Old version:

My new version:

However, the following people that were in the old list are not credited in the new CD re-issue:

  • Junior Hanson - Guitar
  • Carlton "Carlie" Barrett - Executive Producer
  • Bernard Touter Harvey - Organ, Piano
  • Earl Lindo - Keyboards
  • Alvin Patterson - Percussion

I'm not sure if I should credit them or not. Teklund 20:00, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
