On Monday, the world lost another musical legend as Jimmy Cliff passed away at the age of 81. Although, as James Chambers, he was born in Adelphi, a hillside community in Somerton, near Montego Bay, by the time he died Jimmy Cliff belonged to the world. His awesome achievements from The Harder they Come, a movie in which he not only starred but contributed four hit songs to the soundtrack, through The Lion King and Club Paradise (with Robin Williams and Peter O’Toole) to Cool Runnings, Jimmy proved he was so much more than a singer/songwriter.
