Just chiming in with how much I love the upbeat, joyful feeling of "I Can See Clearly Now." I really love the Jimmy Cliff version, too.

May God Bless & keep Johnny Nash always.

@Suziepeach There is also a super cool video of him on YouTube singing this song on the Midnight Express. He is in tight black leather with studs and looks like a scary dude 👹 and then he starts singing and smiling a great smile and then he looks and sings like an angel. 😇

@Suziepeach. Hubba hubba is right! Thanks so much for posting that! ❤ I wanted to post it with my OP but I can't post links from my Smartphone I'm typing on. Love his smile and those dimpled cheeks, and the song of course.

Anyone remember what commercial used that song? It was so overplayed that I got tired of that song for a while. Was it for Windex or something (i.e. I can see clearly now...)?
