The Harder They Come
(1972)

by
Jimmy Cliff
In 1973, when the movie The Harder They Come was released, reggae was not on the radar screen of American pop culture. The soundtrack went a ways toward changing that situation. It is a collection of consistently excellent early reggae songs by artists who went on to thrive with reggae's increased popularity and others for whom this is the most ...

Ultimate Collection

by
Jimmy Cliff
Not a career-spanning overview, as opening number "Wonderful World, Beautiful People" dates from 1969, seven years into Jimmy Cliff's career, but this is an excellent trawl through his past nonetheless. Ultimate Collection should really have kicked off with "Waterfall," his first international hit (number one in Brazil), but "World" brought him ...

Best of Jimmy Cliff [EMI]

by
Jimmy Cliff
A gifted songwriter and charismatic performer, Jimmy Cliff was one of Jamaica's first international stars. His strongest material comes from his early years with legendary producer Leslie Kong, a pairing that ended only with Kong's death in 1971. In Jamaica, where musical alliances seem to always be shifting, Cliff and Kong's association is unique ...

Many Rivers to Cross: The Best of Jimmy Cliff

by
Jimmy Cliff
There was a time when you couldn't find a decent Jimmy Cliff greatest-hits collection that covered both the storied singer's ska and reggae songs on one CD, but 2003's Many Rivers to Cross stepped into an arena filled with contenders covering essentially the same early-'60s to early-'70s era. Many Rivers distances itself from the pack with a heavy ...

Music Maker

more music like this
by
Jimmy Cliff
The second of Jimmy Cliff's three albums for Reprise in the mid-'70s, Music Maker has on the surface all of the ingredients that went into Cliff's wonderful late-'60s work with producer Leslie Kong. The songs are melodic and wise while the production yields a bright pop sound with subtle reggae rhythms that are implied more than they are front and ...

Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 1
(1995)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Rebound's Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 1 may play a little fast and loose with the term "reggae" -- Blondie's "The Tide Is High" is a reggae song done pop, Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" is a pop song pure and simple -- but it nevertheless is a very entertaining record that's perfect for a party, thanks to such songs as the ...

Putumayo Presents: Jamaica

by
Various Artists
An entry from Putumayo's archives, Putumayo Presents: Jamaica makes a stab at covering the vast majority of the styles of reggae available on the island nation. More specifically, it restricts that coverage to the more classic forms (omitting dancehall, hip-hop, fusion, and generally anything involving gun talk and slackness). Essentially ...

Give Thanx

more music like this
by
Jimmy Cliff
Many of the great reggae singers who emerged in the '60s and '70s were Rastafarians, but Jimmy Cliff is an exception. Cliff is a Muslim, which is why you won't find references to "Jah Rastafarai," "I-tal food" or "ganja" in any of his material. While the absence of Rastafarian terminology in Cliff's songs is one of the things that sets him apart ...

In 1968, Island Records released Jimmy Cliff's debut album, Hard Road, swiftly following it the next year with a self-titled full-length set (retitled Wonderful World, Beautiful People for U.S. release). Under any name it was a superb set, one that would further bolster Leslie Kong's reputation as the producer with the golden touch. Of all the ...

by
Jimmy Cliff
Perhaps more than any other Jamaican singer, Jimmy Cliff always had his sights set on the international market, and while he obviously works from a reggae base, his sound -- featuring full productions often cushioned with strings -- completely defines what has come to be known as reggae-pop. Ironically, given that it was his contemporary Bob ...

Written in the aftermath of his longtime producer Leslie Kong's tragically early death, 1972's Struggling Man reflected Jimmy Cliff's desperate attempt to shake himself out of mourning and find a new career path.
