Jimmy Cliff, RIP

[gvopedz]

RIP, I still remember arriving to Austin decades ago and seeing Jimmy Cliff painted on a wall across the street from UT-Austin.  The painting is still there.

Too bad. The Harder They Come is an awesome movie.

[Balladeer]

He sang one of the most ravishing ballads in pop music: "Many Rivers to Cross"  
This song and Cliff´s soulful way in which he intonated it remains forever.

RIP Jimmy Cliff

Never saw the movie, but have had the soundtrack since the early 80s.  Just played it last night.  RIP
