Such a legend and he did so much more to bring reggae outside of Jamaica than Bob Marley, but never got the recognition I guess.
My favourite genre is 2tone ska and so much of it came from Jimmy Cliff. I had a Yazoo ttt written but will write a Jimmy Cliff ttt today later on. So many songs and what a long career he had.
A true miss.

He really was a huge influence on introducing reggae around the world, but Bob got most of the credit in the end. Kind of sad!
I prefer his ska and rocksteady stuff of which Bob Marley had nothing to do with hehe.
Yes Bob is the one people know but there are so many reggae artists that are better and not really known.
I love ska too, there were so many great ska artists out of Jamaica and the UK. It's too bad that it's not as popular today as it used to be, but it's awesome music!
Yes I am 2tone ska all day long and that is my favourite genre, so good to hear original ska too.
