The Good, The Dub & The Global: Celebrating Reggae Pioneer Jimmy Cliff

Systa BB pays tribute to a musical legend on The Good, The Dub & The Global this week - Jimmy Cliff, who sadly passed away at the age of 81.

For reggae fans, Jimmy Cliff needs no introduction. Over the course of a wonderful career, his music had an enormous impact on the popularity of reggae music around the world and his performance in the iconic 1972 Jamaican crime film The Harder They Come will be immortalised for years to come.

Over the course of an hour, Systa BB digs into some of his best known songs and deeper cuts, whilst also sharing stories about an inspiring man whose impact on society transcended music.
