RIP Jimmy Cliff

Jimmy Cliff passed away aged 81.

Widely credited with popularising reggae, Jimmy was also a multi-instrumentalist and ska, rocksteady and soul musician.

Notable tracks include  “The Harder They Come”,  “Many Rivers to Cross”, and “You Can Get It If You Really Want”.

Jimmy was also an accomplished actor and, while it’s probably one of his lesser roles, my favourite Jimmy Cliff movie is the 1985 “Water” with Michael Caine and Billy Connolly.

RIP
