I started listening to Jimmy cliff songs in 1976 ....I still listen to his songs at 60s. I named my first born son Cliff. This is how i love Jimmy Cliff

[@patrickkasanga]

My father introduced me to Jimmy Cliff in the early 70s but it was really the "House of Exile" that did it for me in 1974. Lots of love from Zambia👍👍

That's my Jimmy Cliff. This song is a masterpiece. It makes him stand out among the crowd. I love this song my brother. May you live long brother Cliff.

[@dozyewilliams986]

Evergreen. I was in love with all Jimmy Cliff music since I was a child staying with my elder brother and I still love them now that I am above 50 yrs.

[@simonnguepi4319]

Je suis vraiment fan de Jimmy Cliff depuis mon bas âge. Dès la classe de 6e en 1977, mon frère ainé m'avait appâté en laissant à ma portée son tourne disque et un lot de disques; il y en avait un de notre légende "The harder they come". C'est bien celui-là que j'écoutais et réécoutais tant et si bien que j'en devenais addict. Avec le temps, j'ai découvert une partie du monde infini de son trésor de chansons, toutes philosophiques et pleines d'amour et de leçons. L’extase était en 1985, je crois bien, lorsqu’il était en concert au Cameroun, au stade Ahmadou Ahidjo de Yaoundé, plein à craquer. Jimmy Cliff agrémente ainsi mes journées depuis bientôt un demi siècle. Longue vie à toi Jimmy, nous t'aimons pour la fontaine d'inspiration qui te révèle.

[@sunnyobozua2993]

My Jimmy Cliff. This one is super and I love it. His songs have a golden touch and everlasting.

[@pricklypear5717]

to be fair, Aston Barrett basslines here are great too...

[@johnmark6263]

These are music's that cannot die.i enjoyed them when I was 21 now am 71 and hv been looking to get back these music's now am happy I hv found them.youths of today hv missed the types of music we enjoyed then.today they flaunt naked women and their music is full of the flesh.no wonder these men ruled the planet.

[@sunnyobozua2993]

Jimmy is a blessing to humanity. A musical icon who's music has brought emotional relief to many in trouble times with beautiful lyrics . As a little boy many years ago I developed special likeness for Jimmy's songs even till now I am still addicted to it. I could recognise his unique voice anytime his music is being played. Jimmy is great and he is my icon.

[@amehaviepaul7885]

Started listening to Jimmy as a boy and now in my sixties have not stopped, Jimmy many thanks.You are indeed the undisputed king of sweet waltz of Reggae.

I am blessed to have lived when he started and still alive. His lyrics kept me going during my hard times in Europe. I am grateful for this man's soothing lyrics. Going back to this at 73 is fantastic!!

[@fatimajoh94]

This song takes me back memory lane thanks Jimmy

[@anthonyodiadi1405]

Easily the greatest reggae and soul musician of this age..... Deep, philosophical and with a voice like no other. Jimmy Cliff spoke and sang as an artist with strong social awareness. 'Brother' like House of Exile' forever evergreen!

[@theobarclayeke2972]

Does anyone understand the raw emotional outburst behind this song? The pain caused by the rejection from your own brother is worst than a hot knife stuck in your back. Once upon a time,Reggae music was not always accepted into the mainstream in the US, especially in the black owned radio stations. But the white radio stations were more receptive to it and gave it a generous air play. College radio stations also played huge roles in making reggae a household name today. So, the rejections suffered by these great reggae artists including even the great late Bob Marley, was captured in a nut shell and reflected in this song by Jimmy Cliff. Bob Marley's Coming in from the cold, also dealt with some elements of rejection. So you know, every reggae song is driven by a purpose.

[@Amahnze]

Theo Barclay Eke you are so right, i remember Marley and his band were booed by Bootsy/Funkadelics fans when they used to open for them in the US and even Bootsy complained that the Wailers looked like they just got off the 3rd shift, he didnt like their music.

One of the most underrated Reggae artist of our time.

[@mrjomonic]

Jimmy Cliff has never been underrated. Please take note

[@kakususman3647]

Nobody ever underrated Jimmy cliff. He was the first reggae star if international refutation. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and others came later. Even as Bob Marley took the world by storm and became legendary, the status of Jimmy cliff remained undiminished.

[@blessedlove2113]

He was never underrated. He was an international reggae superstar at the same time as Bob Marley. I see his song Journey has 7.7 million views here on KZbin. Not underated at all.

just listen to his deep seated wailing for his brother towards the end of the song. That's probably how Joseph cried out to his brothers after he discovered they had sold him. At 56, I still love his house of exile album in the same way I did at 11.

And this song makes Jimmy Cliff a very unique Reggae Artist. I started listening his Music in the very late 80's. Till to date, can't miss to listen the mind and soul soothering effect of his music. It reminds me of bitter-sweet memories as a kid growing up in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. As in his Unlimited Album cover, showed him as he was back way then : Young Gifted; Thank you once again for this masterpiece.

Down memory lane. Jimmy is a master in his class like bob marley and peter Tosh. Jimmy voice is unique and i got to love him most when he came to Nigeria and one thing led to another and he was locked in cell which made him sang a master piece indicating he was put in jail. Fantastic number.
