Video: Jimmy Cliff – The Harder They Come

While Bob Marley may have become the biggest name in reggae music history, it’s Jimmy Cliff that really deserves the credit for first exposing it to the world to the sounds coming out of Jamaica with his contributions to the soundtrack for 1972’s The Harder They Come, a movie that he also starred in. Cliff, who was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame,  should be on your short list of must-see act this year.

Check out this vintage performance of his signature song…
