黑人創作歌手Johnny Nash譜寫的「I Can See Clearly Now」一曲
在1972年，可以說是轟動了美國樂壇。
話說Johnny Nash當時雇請了一位幾乎走投無路的雷鬼歌手擔任譜曲的工作，
這個人就是後來成為大師級人物的Bob Marley
「I Can See Clearly Now」還特別前往牙買加錄音，
並由Bob Marley擔綱錄製。
輕快的旋律與躍動的雷鬼節奏，
加上閒適而富有啟發性的簡短歌詞，
使得這首歌曲很快地受到了美國樂迷的歡迎和喜愛，
不僅登上全美冠軍寶座，蟬聯4個星期，
而且成為該年度總排行的Top5！
因為「I Can See Clearly Now」的風行，
雷鬼音樂的熱潮開始席捲主流市場，
也讓Bob Marley得以有竄紅的機緣，
還成為了人人尊崇的「雷鬼樂之父」！
Johnny Nash這位慧眼識英雄的伯樂實在是功不可沒。
來聽這首充滿異國風情且令人雀躍的好歌。

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun shiny day
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun shiny day
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun shiny day
