The Harder They ComeJimmy Cliff8rank/position

Even before reggae was established as a distinct musical genre, Jimmy Cliff was a pioneering artist who helped drive the development of the reggae scene.
He forged an original sound and a musical identity rooted in Jamaica.
This work, too, offers a reggae sound that seems to serve as a model for how to express such innovative elements through music.
The bright yet slightly gritty organ tone and the rhythmic, catchy guitar chops create an open, liberating mood.
It still doesn’t feel dated even today.
