I also listened to Jimmy Cliff at the age of 16yrs. My late brother used to play from his cassette 😢 He is my fav reggae singer ❤ I am 55yrs I just cry each time I play his songs thinking of my Dear brother that I loved him unconditionally 💔
When music was great, and Jimmy one of 'The Greats', and he still is. People need to listen to this...listen to it while you dance....and set your soul free.
Jimmy Cliff is the best. He's a genius! His songs are evergreen. I was in my teens when I started to listen and dance to his music. I am now in my 50s and each time I play his music as if it has just been released. He is a freedom fighter, motivator, entertainer, composer, etc. He is fearful, outspoken, a model for all, etc. Ride on sir!
Psychadelic sounds that cut across age and time barriers,blending them into yesterday,today and tomorrow;all in one kind of mind set to all listening to just any record on any LP.
Jimmy is deep, very deep! Every song has a powerful message, he sings with such passion and conviction, his voice resonates with love in his lovely melodies. He's not just a good guy; he's a great man. His personality exudes love and humility. May you live long Jimmy, every blessing.
Jimmy cliff deserves international worldwide recognition award because of his talent in music as a great musician par excellence his songs are so touching to the root parts of human reasonings
For the first time I heard about Jimmy Cliff in 1976 of my African countries' room-mates in Moscow State University. One of the greatest reggae singer. Nothing to add.
Thank you Jimmy Cliff! In my teens I played songs dancing, and repeating the tracks over and over with friends. Luckily enough I still have all these records of yours with me. Leaving Nigeria in the 80's for England, I took them with me! WELL DONE!
When I was a little boy, upon hearing this music, I never knew papa Jimmy was telling me to be careful of relations and friends whom are hypocrite in my life . Now that I know the meaning of the song due to things happening around me , I pray God should weed them off my way . Be wise
Jimmy Cliff is an incredible human being. Listening to his genre of music sparked up my world early in the morning in the very early 1970s. His songs remains evergreen today.
I was about twenty one when I first heard this song in the early seventies.That day the song was great and fantastic, as it is today, The Sunday morning after, I was passing by a church and I looked through the windows and saw the worshippers kneeling down in deep meditation or prayer, including my fellow wayfarers on the sleazy side of life, and I immediately burst into this song and ran away as fast as my legs could carry me.
Jimmy cliff is a prophet. There are people in churches who people are calling prophets, but all they do is swindle money from people... Jimmy is a real prophet because the message in his songs have come to pass and can evoke love compassion and understanding.. His music is timeless and living just like a tree planted by the rivers of waters. Give thus humble messenger his due. Buff respect to Jimmy cliff.
I have always loved Jimmy Cliff,his type of songs,lyrics they strike a chord in my heart each time i listen to his tracks.I will call him a reggae meastro of all time.
I still love his songs. I was very young when these songs came out and didn't understand the words but ding in the way I understood it. Dad was the best he bought us records and made us love music this much. Jimmy cliff my best of the Best in reggae music
You are correct my brother, When some tried to tarnished his image, that gave him the opportunity to release this record, have you got the news. Long Live Jimmy, we love you more than you taught. We Nigerian are your most Fans.
Jimmy Cliff not only a legend but just an awesome person that can keep even the most downtrodden person.. in going on each day by, at least with wisdom
Ellen Ellis ,it seems like the USA ,is not a double crosser but a triple crosser ,not a 🐍 in the grass but a 🐍 under the grasses ,if it was to get A Q out what's up ? And to leave all the hardwares
I was a young boy in 1974 when Jimmy Cliff visited the city of Aba in now Abia State of Nigeria. But still, I defied all securities in Aba Stadium and made sure I came to the front where I was able to see this legend from Kingston Jamaica very clearly and when he demanded that the crowed should mention which of his songs they wanted him to perform, in my small voice then, I shouted: "ON MY LIFE", and he jumped up in his usual dancing style and performed it so well that the whole crowed forgot that they had waited for almost a whole day before his arrival to the Aba stadium on that day. He is really an inspiration and one of many reasons why I had to establish my business and live in the United States. Jimmy Cliff is my legend of all times. During an interview on that visit, when he was asked about which of Nigerian musicians he fancied most: he answered and said: "ONLY THAT OF FELA" and that again swept me off the ground because that was another legend of mine from Nigeria.
I remembered first time I visited my uncle at Aflao. My cousins always played this song and always felt good. That's was 1994 , up to date love this song and a lot of memories

Nos aqui do Brasil sempre ouvimos nas festas dos finais de semana era so Jimmy Cliff, qdo. tocava ninguem ficava paradoera uma esteria com misto de alegria, viva Jimmy Cliff !!!!!! Parabéns Mpho Mulaudzi abraços.
This song goes out to my narcissist of a mom. She calls herself "A woman of God" and "Only God can judge people." She's treated me worse then dirt and negativity judged people at first glance.
@@mercedesclarke5843 Thanks. Sorry to hear your mother was bad too. You're not kidding with that. Put me in a downward spiral that I'm happily out of. Hopefully you haven't been dragged down or are out of it.
I just don't know why, but I feel and also think reggae is the best genre of music to listen to. And now this track was released telling us hypocrites still exist
...Il mondo e un posto bello... ma non sempre la gente dice quello che pensa, quello che sente e fa la sua vitta en conseguenza a la sua esenza! Jimmy Cliff... geniale musici,💖! ... Mi piace il reggae, per iniziare un Bello Venerdi,💖!... Auguri di FELICE FINESETTIMANA,💖!
Your faith is probably killing white farmers and going down the drain like Zimbabwe I guess you didn't remember yourself about the fact Hypocrite's mind's are opportunistic
Jimmy is a real living icon that the world doesn't show any love because of his skin tone example( Bob Marley ) his colour gave him the edge over guys who where ten times more talented.
i use to listen to this album when i was young. my father had a LP,and use to play it at a very low volume since it was banned on South African radios buy the post gov.. .
Hey Mpho, know exactly what you talking about bru. I was one like your dad, listening to Jimmy Cliff in the quiet...back in the dark days in Durban, South Africa. House of Exile was our main underground tune
