Blurb:

Jimmy Cliff is one of the very best singers to ever emerge from Jamaica. He brandishes


a high-powered instrument – a soprano with great range and a plaintive


lilt that is capable of a keening emotional intensity and soaring joy. It would make


him a star at home and abroad, and garner him many honors. He was awarded


Jamaica’s Order of Distinction, then its Order of Merit, and was inducted into


the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio (the only reggae star other


than Bob Marley to achieve this, even though neither of them recorded much that


could be considered rock and roll).
