One of Jamaicas most prolific and innovative performers and a recent inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jimmy Cliff has been hailed as the first true superstar of Jamaican music. As a uniquely talented singer-songwriter, he is one of the first artists responsible for disseminating reggae music to a global audience. With over 25 studio albums to his name, Cliff is the only living musician to hold the Order of Merit for his contributions to Jamaican culture. But the road to international acclaim has not been a straightforward one. Born James Chambers into an underdeveloped country town near Jamaicas north coast, Cliff has battled poverty, controversy, and prejudiceindeed, his starring role as Ivan in the ground-breaking film The Harder They Come drew on aspects of Jimmys own youthful experiences.
