3. Lauryn Hill, “Turn Your Lights Down Low”

If there is one good thing to be said about the advancements in music technology, it’s that it gave Bob Marley the opportunity to make a track with Lauryn Hill. Marley’s “Turn Your Lights Down Low” featuring Lauryn Hill was perhaps the best track from the Chant Down Babylon hip-hop covers experiment in the late 90s. Marley and Hill, who incidentally is the mother of Marley’s grandchildren, came together digitally as seamlessly as if this was an original recording.

Also worth checking out is Lauryn’s emotional live version of Marley’s soul-stirring version of “Chances Are,” from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon two years ago.
