    The iconic moment of the movie *Harder They Come* starring *Jimmy Cliff* was when he was walking through rich neighborhoods looking for work and no one would hire him to cut their grass, and lawns etc... This part today brings onions tears😭 down my face each time..... *Jimmy Cliff* legendary👍

    This song always gives me hope for the future. Beautiful song and voice.Thank you for reacting. And Jimmy made a great version of Cat Stevens' Wild World. Also, please try his "You can get it you really want", which DOES have a rocksteady beat. Another great song with a similar style, ska, is Bob and Marcia singing "Young gifted and black". Also, UB40 did a great version of "Many Rivers To Cross". Ali Campbells voice suits the song so well. (1983 version)

    This one was powerful, right to your guts. The first word that came to my mind when it started was "churchy." It feels like soul to me, but with a certain Caribbean tinge to it. Really good stuff.

    The part in this song where the backup singers finally come in always gets me. Wow! Yeah, this song evokes gospel and soul more than reggae. I rank it with "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in that regard. Other tunes from Jimmy Cliff to check out are "The Harder They Come," "You Can Get It If You Really Want," "Vietnam," and his version of "I Can See Clearly Now." When it comes to "roots" reggae, you've got to listen to Toots & The Maytals -- "Pressure Drop," "Sweet and Dandy," "Funky Kingston," "Monkey Man," "Got To Be There" among others.

    I saw it in santa cruz, ca 1977 or 8 in the movie theater and that was all she wrote!!!!!!!! Reggae forever!!!!!!!!
    Over the years I've seen live jimmy cliff, toots and the maytals, alpha blondy (he was not in this movie...popular artist from ivory coast). 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
    If you listen to alpha blondy, his song "Jerusalem" from his album (not a live show) is sooooooo so so beautiful.

  • @ericpeterson6766
    @ericpeterson6766 Před 7 měsíci

    I saw Jimmy in the seventies and he had such an impact on me. I got to get up close to his stage, no struggle, everyone was so respectful and adoring but not violent towards each other or semi violent the way seventies and early eighties rock crowds could sometimes be, maybe the amphetamines, but jimmy was so composed and self contained and everyone just coordinated around this, so I was able to get up close, me who tended to be self conscious and defensive, but the music drew the secrets out..

    Hi India, I subscribed about a week ago. I wanted to be sure this was the same song, and it is. There is a young Welsh girl that has done a partial cover because she did it on The Voice Kids U.K. and they have time constraints. Her name is Gracie-Jayne Fitzgerald. She was twelve when she sang this. She had only been singing for 17 months, by this I mean she has sung in her school talent show, she has entered a few competitions, but before that just around the house stuff. Anyway, it is amazing to hear her sing this song. She also does something near the end of the song that before being on this show she had no idea she could do. After listening to this(Jimmy's) version, I thought it might be fun to listen to Gracie's version. I hope you decide to react to it, Jessie J is one of the coaches and she has developed an honest respect for Gracie, even to go as far as saying Gracie is, "going to be a force to be reckoned with". Thank you so much for your reactions.

    When I was in high school there was a a movie theater that played "The Harder They Come" the movie every Friday night at midnight. We went for about 6 months. Never missed a show. Jimmy Cliff always brings back the great memories from that time. If you haven't seen it, try to. It is hilarious and the fantastic music is a character in the movie. "Many Rivers To Cross" was also covered by Annie Lennox who is simply amazing. @India Reacts, please check out that cover.
