There was a lot of his music played in my community when I was growing up. I recall a group of us, mostly under age got into the cinema to see his film The Harder They Come, and it's a film I have watched many times since. It's often cited as the film that really launched reggae to America.
During my time touring, we were on the same bill as him a few times but sadly never got to meet him personally. Great ambassador ror reggae an left us with some inspiring songs. R.I.P. Jimmy Cliff.
