  15. @TheVinylApe "Many Rivers to Cross" has always been my personal favorite of Jimmy Cliff's recordings.

    A little-known fact: Cliff toured Finland already in the mid-sixties as a support act for Millie Small.

  23. A truly great one has left us, #JimmyCliff .
    Thank you for the chance to see you live once — back in 2004 at the Zelt Festival in Freiburg.
    Your music remains. Your message remains. You remain.
    R.I.P. 🖤🎶 #reggae #rootsreggae

  24. 🎵 I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
    I can see all obstacles in my way
    Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
    It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
    Sun-shiny day
    It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
    Sun-shiny day 🎶

  25. "The Harder They Come" soundtrack released this day in 1972. The album featured Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, Scotty, Toots and The Maytals, and The Melodians. No longer would reggae remain an isolated phenomenon in Jamaica.

  28. Fifty years ago, Jamaican music legend Jimmy Cliff starred in the cult classic film, The Harder They Come. It was a critical success (the Guardian recently gave it five stars). But the soundtrack was something else, featuring some of reggae's premier artists of the time. The world fell in love with reggae and the stage was set for Bob Marley's global emergence with 1973's blazing Catch a Fire.
