Agree. Jimmy Cliff is always on rotation on my Spotify music. And his The Harder They Come album, is one of my top 10. Especially love Many Rivers to Cross. Rest in Peace Jimmy

I saw him at the Keswick about 10 years ago and he was spectacular. His voice was perfect and he spent some time explaining the history of each song. I checked every year hoping he would go out again but it never happened. RIP to one of my fav artists.

Scratch him off our coaching candidate list.
