Wow....Linds......that was pretty awesome, the only piece I missed (wished could be in there) is John Lennon doing at least one line!!!!!

I saw this a couple weeks ago.. Thought it was on this forum.. Great video.. I still want to know who funded that project.. I want them to fund me to fly around the world and do that! ?

Here's all the info you may need about them.

I reckon wherever Johnno is he would give a thumbs up on this one! Makes me happy that there are a lot of South Africans in the mix - like that 'War' video with Bono ... LOVED that! They should've cut John in ... that would've been magic!

Maybe they should have included a bit with Ben E. King singing it too. After all he did write it.

OOps pardon my ignorance - assumed that Lennon wrote it - he certainly owned it so well ? Who was Ben E King?

You got that right....... IMO, John's version was the best, better than Ben. Just like Joe Cocker's version of "With a little help from my friends" was better than the Beatles'.....again, my opinion.
