At age 14, reggae legend Jimmy Cliff dropped out of technical school and persuaded producer Leslie Kong to record his song “Hurricane Hattie,” which topped the charts in his native Jamaica.
∙ He was among a select group of reggae stars who represented Jamaica at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York.
∙ In 1972, Cliff starred in The Harder They Come, and the film’s soundtrack—featuring his songs “Many Rivers to Cross” and “Sitting in Limbo”—introduced reggae to a worldwide audience.
∙ He won the Best Reggae Recording Grammy Award for 1985’s Cliff Hanger, which featured collaborations with LaToya Jackson and members of Kool and the Gang.
∙ His cover of Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now”—included on the soundtrack for the 1993 film Cool Runnings—became a Top 20 US hit, his highest-ever Stateside charting.
∙ Cliff is one of only two living Jamaican musicians who’ve been honored with the nation’s Order of Merit, in recognition of his contributions to music and film.
∙ In 2010, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
