“Cry to Me” by Bob Marley and The Wailers [1976]

Random Music History Song of the Day

Surrounded by social and political statements like “War” and “Rat Race,” “Cry to Me” provided a moment of catharsis on Bob Marley’s 1976 album Rastaman Vibration. While Marley still brings up heartaches and pain, the song is about release. We all know how good it feels to cry, especially when you have the support of a good friend.

Rastaman Vibration is arguably the least known of Marley’s classic ’70s albums, simply because it featured no hit singles and contributed no songs to the Legend compilation. If you have only heard Legend or Exodus, give Rastaman Vibration a try. It’s quite good.
