"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Released as a single two months after the film's premiere, it became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 10 in several countries. The song became one of Dylan's most popular and most covered post-1960s compositions, spawning covers from Eric Clapton, Guns N' Roses, Randy Crawford, and more.

Described by Dylan biographer Clinton Heylin as "an exercise in splendid simplicity",  the lyrics of which comment directly on the scene in the film for which it was written: the death of a frontier lawman (Slim Pickens) who refers to his wife (Katy Jurado) as "Mama".

Nice one, my friend, you're a star.

[Farrell Jackson]

Well done on this song JP! I've not seen the film so thanks for posting the video with clips from the movie (I'm going to look it up). The dobro sounds excellent as does your vocals.

[Ray Brookes]

Superb cover of this Dylan classic, JP.

[Pru]

always loved this song and you have covered it very well

[Jean Pierre]

Thank you all ... in fact I had forgotten that Bob Dylan had done all the soundtrack of the film and that made me want to see it again James Coburn was my film idol in the 70s

And ... happy birthday to Pru, I've just realised that I'd let the date slip a bit

Very nice love your rendition
