"No Woman No Cry" was a song written by Vincent Ford, a pseudonym used by Bob Marley. It was made famous by Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1975 album Live!, which featured this song as performed in concert at the London Lyceum. It was also on the album Natty Dread, released that same year.
It has since been covered several times, including by American punk rockers Rancid, singer-songwriter Joan Baez, pop guitarist Jimmy Buffett and South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, while Wyclef Jean reworked the lyrics for his hip hop crew The Fugees to relate to his life in Haiti.
