Jimmy Cliff, one of the great reggae artists of all time is dead at 81. 

Cliff was the main force behind *The Harder They Come* movie and soundtrack. He starred in it and wrote/performed many of the tracks.  Soundtrack came out in 1973 and was huge in my college years (76-80).   If you?ve never listened to the soundtrack - please find it and listen. Can?t not like it.  I don?t think there was a party in my college years that didn?t play some Jimmy Cliff.

Very sad to hear of his passing.

A bright star.  I saw him on my birthday a long long time.  Impossible to not smile from ear to ear.  A legend.  RIP.

Very sad - the man was an absolute legend.
