      Why isn't there a biopic of Jimmy Cliff? He's influenced the Clash to Coldplay. Attention must be paid.

      JESUS SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THEY WHO BELIEVE IN ME WILL NEVER DIE AND I WILL RAISE THEM AT THE LAST DAY WHAT EYE HAS NOT SEEN NOR EAR HEARD WHAT THINGS GOD HAS IN STORE FOR THOSE THAT LOVE HIM .JESUS PROMISES HEAVEN FOR A CUP OF WATER GIVEN IN HIS NAME ALSO DEVOTION TO MARY IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION THE PROTESTANTS HATE MARY. JESUS FORGIVES MANY SINS BUT THEY WHO OUTRAGE INSULTING HIS MOST BELOVED MOTHER AND HAVE NO DEVOTION OR LOVE FOR HER ARE ALREADY CONDEMNED WHITHOUT MARY JESUS WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BORN. THE REASON WHY THE NUMBER OF THE ELECT IS SMALL IS BECAUSE THEY THE DAMNED HAVE NO LOVE FOR HIS BELOVED MOTHER

    Growing up in the Caribbean, I was in a youth group and we used to have local talent shows and everyone wants to sing a Jimmy Cliff song because he was one of our favorite singers. Every song that he sang was an inspiration to me and many others I can still listen to his music for a very long period of time without getting bored. One of my favorite was Time will tell , Time will tell , Time alone will tell.
