Jimmy Cliff was reggae’s first international star and remains its greatest living ambassador.

His first major hit single was Wonderful World, Beautiful People back in 1969, but the real breakthrough came with the release of the soundtrack to The Harder They Come in 1973. That album served as a primer on reggae music for the uninitiated, and half of its tracks were by Cliff including three songs that have become reggae standards: You Can Get It If You Really Want, the anthemic The Harder they Come and the hymn-like Many Rivers to Cross.
