- The essence of authentic reggaeHow many people know that the first man to make reggae popular was not Bob Marley, but Jimmy Cliff?
This album showcases his 1960's hits, including the hope-filled song of brotherhood (and sisterhood), WONDERFUL WORLD BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, the beautiful MANY RIVERS TO CROSS, VIETNAM billed by Bob Dylan as the best protest song ever) , the inspirational You Can Get It If You Really Want ,the determined HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL, the African drumbeats of BONGO MAN (A COME),the wise TIME WILL TELL, the plaintive SUFFERIN' (IN THE LAND), and the upbeat COME INTO MY LIFE.
You have got to listen to Jimmy Cliff, for the essence of authentic reggae.
