I Can See Clearly Now is such a happy song with wonderful lyrics and when you listen to it you feel a happy vibe coming. I believe Jimmy Cliff's version was from the Cool Runnings soundtrack and is played during the end credits of the movie. Besides Jimmy Cliff Anne Murray also covered I Can See Clearly Now on her children's album There's A Hippo In My Tub as well as teen group Everlife. Johnny Nash also discovered Gloria Gaynor and she had her first hit on his record label as well
