Jimmy Cliff, master of song, keeper of rhythm, and prime exponent of what has come to be known as reggae, is a true innovator.
The son of a tailor, Cliff grew up in a small village near Montego Bay on the north coast of Jamaica.
Cliff particularly liked the New Orleans sound and was Sam Cooke, Fats Domino, and Little Richard among his early idols.
Since his starring role in the film The Harder They Come, Cliff's songs have been covered by a wide array of pop artists,
including Harry Nilsson, Johnny Rivers, and Three Dog Night.
Cher also did some of his tunes.
An accomplished actor, writer, and performer, and a consummate artist, here is Jimmy Cliff.
