Reggae music owes a significant debt to Jimmy Cliff, who passed away at 81. Cliff had a vision for a genre that reflected the struggles of his native Jamaica. In the late 1960s, the island was facing economic hardship and social unrest, with a disillusioned youth culture. As a result, the island's music scene began to shift from upbeat ska and soulful rock-steady towards reggae, a genre known for its introspective and socially conscious sound. Cliff's legacy will continue to inspire future generations of musicians and fans alike.
