	Reggae Reviews: Jimmy Cliff
		Cliff's message of peace/love/unity and his crossover musical style all begin to wear a tad thin on this album.
		Jimmy Cliff had been teetering on the edge for quite a while, and he finally falls into that crossover pop abyss on this album.
		Cliff's engaging persona is ever present here, but tracks like "You Can't Be Wrong and Get Right," "I Want to Know," and "My Love Is Solid as a Rock" are so cutesy, they'd be more at home on Sesame Street than on a serious reggae album.

		The followup albums, however, were generally unfocused, their spotty material spoiling Cliff's bid to become reggae's main exponent, a gap rushed into and filled brilliantly by Bob Marley.
		Cliff's style is a high, almost gospel plaint, with a keen rhythmic sense that echoes Africa as well as R & B.
		Cliff, a father figure to several generations of young musicians, can still be counted on to deliver thoroughly professional shows and recordings, like 1999's Humanitarian.

	Jimmy Cliff: National Geographic World Music (Site not responding. Last check: )
		That Jimmy Cliff has spent the better part of his 40-plus-year career in the shadow of Bob Marley is arguably the most egregious of pop music's many injustices.
		As a matter of fact, if Marley was alive today, he would no doubt say, "Amen." He knew that he was as much influenced by Cliff as Cliff was influenced by him; that together they created/refined reggae and took it international.
		What happened next was one of the great sins of reggae music: Bob, Peter, Bunny and their dreadlocked Rastafari peers were considered the purveyors of "real" reggae music while Cliff, who was every bit as authentic and brilliant, was stigmatized as "soft." To his credit, JC kept on keeping on.

		Cliff's latest release, "Black Magic" (Artemis Records), was produced by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and includes elements of rap, RandB, and hip-hop, adding a contemporary sound to Cliff's familiar island lilt.
		Cliff's songs, such as "Sitting Here in Limbo" and the film's title track, drove the record to multiplatinum success over the years and earned it the accolade of No. 1 soundtrack of all time in a 1992 ranking by E! Entertainment Television.
		Cliff has no formal role yet in the remake, but he may serve as a consultant, and provide a song or two.

	The Harder They Come, Jamaican film starring Jimmy Cliff - Jamaica Travel and Culture .com
		The Harder They Come tells the story of Ivanhoe Martin (played by Jimmy Cliff), a country boy who moves to Kingston to seek fame and fortune.
		It can clearly be seen that the film was a low budget production but, rather than diminishing the viewers enjoyment of the film, this is in keeping with its gritty subject matter and actually adds to the film's dark and oppressive mood.
		A key feature of this film is the brilliant soundtrack, featuring tracks by Toots and the Maytalls, Desmond Dekker and, of course, Jimmy Cliff.

		This was my first Jimmy Cliff album, and made me fall in love with his music.
		Most music fans (outside Jamaica) became aware of Cliff when he starred in the 1974 cult film "The Harder They Come", but he had already achieved superstar status in his native country long before...one listen to this well-crafted debut album will make you see why.
		Historically, Marley and Tosh may be the ones who are synonymous with "political" reggae, but back in 1969 the Wailers were still basically a "pop" group while Jimmy Cliff was singing the provocative "Vietnam".

		Brilliantly shot, directed, written, and acted, especially by singer Jimmy Cliff in the leading role and Carl Bradshaw as his archenemy, the film tells an anthemic Jamaican story to seductive rhythms of a soundtrack that became a reggae bestseller.
		Reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff is Ivan, a rural Jamaican musician who journeys to the city of Kingston in search of fame and fortune.
		Cliff, in his acting debut, gives a convincing and credible performance, but it is the reggae music that is the star of the film.

		Anyone who listens to this CD will see the true magnificence of non-Marley reggae and the shame of all these musicians having been ignored for so long in American popular culture as the genre was reduced to just one musician in so many people's minds.
		Jimmy Cliff put reggae on the map in the USA with this fantastic masterpiece classic soundtrack released in 1973.
		Of course, Jimmy Cliff gets top billing, and his "Many Rivers to Cross" should be played at everyone's funeral, but the other acts are no less amazing.

		As a rambunctious teenager in Kingston, Jamaica, Cliff brazenly walked into the local ice cream parlor/record shop and sang an a cappella tune he had written called "Dearest Beverly." The aspiring record producer/owner of the shop, Leslie Kong was immediately impressed.
		Jimmy Cliff extended his acting career by co-starring with Robin Williams and Peter O'Toole in "Club Paradise" and in "Marked For Death" with Steven Segal.

		It must have been a daunting task for Jimmy Cliff to follow THE HARDER THEY COME, which established him as the one of the premier figures in the world of reggae.
		As the title indicates, Cliff continued to concern himself with the difficulties of life in his native Jamaica, offering up songs of hope and transcendence, while sprucing up his palette with touches of soul and gospel.
		Cliff shifts gears with fine results on "Can't Stop Worrying, Can't Stop Loving You," a Dave Mason cover that sounds like an old chestnut Otis Redding might have sung, and "Let's Seize the Time," a gospel-flavored number that really shows off Cliff's pipes.
