- Biography (note)
- Jimmy Cliff OM (born James Chambers, 1 April 1948, Somerton District, St. James, Jamaica) is a Jamaican ska and reggae musician, best known among mainstream audiences for songs such as "Sittin' in Limbo", "You Can Get It If You Really Want It", "Many Rivers to Cross" from soundtrack to The Harder They Come which helped popularize reggae across the world, and for his cover of "I Can See Clearly Now" from the film, Cool Runnings. Cliff had difficulty gaining a broad audience; in fact, outside of the reggae world, he is probably best known for his film appearance in The Harder They Come. Even after a string of hits, the singer never quite managed to break into the mainstream, although in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he seemed poised for international stardom.
