Reggae icon Jimmy Cliff, RIP

[erratick]

Saw him in the 80s. It was inspiring. He was a reggae legend even then.

RIP.

So sad to hear of his passing. I also saw him in the 80s and was impressed by his energy and engagement with the audience.

Thank you, Jimmy, and rest in peace!

Such beautiful songs sung with heart and love. Rest In Power, Mr. Cliff. Thank you for spreading light in the world and sharing your gift.

He wrote so many songs that became Reggae classics. He and Toots and Bob are my favorites. Reggae on, Jimmy.

Thanks for the music

An amazing writer no matter what the idiom, what a musical canon! Along with Marley one of the top reggae ambassadors to bring reggae to the mainstream.
Fly on Jimmy..............

Such a sweet voice. Godspeed my brother.

Jimmy Cliff was such a pioneer, he had us listening to reggae, before we even knew what it was.
RIP

It was like it wasn't even Reggae, it was/is just more cool music.
