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.

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!

[@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.

[@forgiveyrself]

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!!

[@victorugwumba1455]

I will never forget this song. It's was part of my growing. My father always play it early in the morning. He is a legend that isn't been talked about. He makes great sense in every of his song. I love cliff... 😂 😂 😂

I am one of his fans is songs reflexes so many departments of my life, I can't get enough starting from his early stages up I love Jimmy Cliff songs 💙❤💕

I’ll always give you the thumbs up KING JIMMY CLIFF!!!

[@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.

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.

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.

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.
