The first I heard of Jimmy Cliff was when a friend of mine turned me onto this 1970 release, then I went to Jamaica and started to learn about Jamaican music…
Turned out that I’d already missed this one…
Then he came out with this tune…
AND a whole “The Harder They Come” movie, to boot!
(AFTER YOU FINISH THIS BLOG, OF COURSE)…
JIMMY HAS A BEVY OF HITS OFF THAT MOVIE!!!
