My mother's favorite and my favorite too, we use to listen to it in the 80 in Ndola Zambia and the good part is that JC visited Kitwe my birth place and played his music at Nkana stadium,by then I was a kid but dad saw him. The second time time he came to kitwe he never played he was just visiting and lodging at Eden burgh hotel in the year 200. By then I was a student. Now at 51 still enjoying JC music.

Wow what a small and strange world! I am 51 too, and this was the music I grew up on while in exile in Kenya from the Amin years in Uganda. Other fellow exiled Ugandans would come over on Sundays for goat grilling, and my dad and mom would play this 45 record on their record player. Now years later I play it to my nephews and nieces in Massachusetts as I tell them our family history. It is wonderful to know another fellow African holds good memories over this Jimmy Cliff album.

One of the finest social commentators in the world, Jimmy Cliff has never won the acclaim he deserves. House of Exile, Synthetic World, Many Rivers Cross- name it- each song comments on the human condition. His lyrics are powerful commentary and his voice is golden! No poetry beats these powerful songs, but the award went to Bob Dylan!

Jimmy cliff used his music to portray the everlasting challenges faced by many of us , in the USA , West INDIES , Britain, Africa many years ago . The struggle of the African to live in a contemporary world where intolerance , prejudice ,and all forms that negated on human values.Therefore , house of exile depicts a painful story of what life was , in the 1800s , 1900s -1940s , 50s 60 70s and how the voice of a struggle was sang to inspire our forefathers to rise against injustices. So , we saw the rise of Marcus Gave , Martin Luther King , Malcolm X , Bob Marley , Peter Tosh, and many others who took the pain to forge a united front against evil.

In all your songs, the proverbs are life-changing for the best if we can listen and apply the words of wisdom. I heard this song in Coal City, Enugu, when I was in Elementary School. I still listen to it almost daily for over forty-five years. Bravo.

About Jimmy Cliff his lyrics are prophetic, inducing and pure , remembering my late senior brother who will always disturb us with this in the early morning of late 70s.

Many middle aged Nigerians will find this song very nostalgic because Jimmy Cliff made a Nigerian musical tour shortly after releasing the album House of Exile. It was a block buster. I watched his live show at Hill Station hotel Jos. It was like yesterday. The crowd was ecstatic when he did the title track.. Jimmy Cliff is indeed a great Reggae artist like no other. Very unique.

This music by Jimmy Cliff is so true..Today, Countries and indvidauls are reaping what they've sown...Simple truth everybody knows. And this reminds me when I bought his T - Shirt "House Of Exile" in 1974. And one of his movie called “The Harder They Come” with a powerful socio-political storyline and an equally strong reggae soundtrack I love so much. "You can get it if you really want ,..But you must try, try and try.. try and try, You'll succeed at last.....

Thank you so much, Alex Frank. You really made my day. I was in Lagos too, in secondary school, when Jimmy Cliff came to Nigeria on musical tour. Sadly, he got arrested midway thru the tour and locked up on account of some (alleged) breach of commercial contract with another Nigerian businessman, who apparently was to bring him to Nigeria years earlier. I suppose one positive outcome from that unpleasant episode was that it inspired Jimmy Cliff to come up with that intuitive song about being in Nigeria “and they threw me in jail”. Loved it. Till today I’m always winding up my Jamaican friends about reasons behind the Naija Businessman taking measures to protect his financial interest at the time. Me and all my friends in Lagos grew up with JC’s utterly inspirational songs, not least of all, Struggling Man, Wild, Wild World, Wonderful World, Vietnam, Many Rivers to Cross, Dear Mother, Rebel in me, and of course, Synthetic World, etc, etc. I’ve still got ALL JC’s record collections and I’m pleased to have succeeded in inspiring my 30yr-old younger son about JC’s world of music. He loves him too. Like you, I’m now also a granddad but still can’t have enough of JC’s music. He remains one of my greatest musical Heroes. Thank you, JC🙏👍 Anthony Otokito (London uk)
