If you want an example of how good a drummer Clem Burke was listen to 'Dreaming' . Very good drummer and a sad loss. With Clem now sadly passed and Chris Stein no longer touring with the band, but still an active member and plays on their records i wonder how much longer the band will go on as a touring act. They have a new album coming out though.

Last edited: 25/11/2025 04:21 "I Can See Clearly Now" is listed as a #17 peak on wikipedia, as well as on aus-charts. Is this correct?
Effy, it is correct
I believe bulion's info is from AMR. ARIA would be 27-Feb-94, #17, 22 weeks.
amended and added to for Jimmy Cliff.
