‘One’ — U2

This is the third track from U2’s 1991 album “Achtung Baby.” It was a spin-off from the second single, “Mysterious Ways.” The Edge came up with two bridge ideas, according to Rolling Stone. Bono was so taken with the other one that he wrote a new set of lyrics to go with it. They were not expecting “One” to be a wedding hit, even though it was. “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

The best version of “No Woman, No Cry,” in our opinion, is not the one from the 1974 album “Natty Dread,” but rather the one from “Live!” On July 17, 1975, performed at the Lyceum Theatre, the performance was a part of  Bob Marley’s Natty Dread Tour. It not only changed his life, but he also credited Vincent “Tata” Ford, a childhood friend, with the songwriting. Ford was able to keep his soup kitchen in Kingston afloat thanks to its success.
