Jimmy Cliff was one of the most influential artists from Jamaica. He was the pulse of the great soundtrack The Harder They Come.  However, he never made it big because his label Island Records chose to focus on Bob Marley instead.  Forging ahead, Jimmy released a series of hits even influencing artists like Bob Dylan, Joe Strummer, Sting and UB40.  Desmond Dekker even took Cliff’s own “You Can Get It If You Really Want” to the charts in England.
