Jimmy Cliff, Music Legend and Cultural Figure, Dies at Eighty-One Years Old
Global audiences grieves the loss of the iconic Jimmy Cliff, the celebrated Jamaican reggae singer and performer whose distinctive voice played a key role in popularizing reggae music across the globe. The artist has died at the age of 81.
“It’s with profound sadness that I share that my beloved husband, Jimmy Cliff, has crossed over due to a seizure and subsequent pneumonia,” wrote his wife Latifa on social media. “I am thankful for his family, close friends, fellow artists and coworkers who shared his journey. To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his entire professional life … Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace. I will honor your wishes.” The message was also signed by their offspring, their son and daughter.
Jimmy Cliff gained fame for hit songs such as “You Can Get It If You Really Want”, I Can See Clearly Now and “Wonderful World, Beautiful People”. His optimistic musical style and uplifting temperament brought him a large and longstanding fanbase.
Beyond his music achievements, Cliff starred in the 1972 drama film “The Harder They Come”, a performance that was highly acclaimed and is considered a landmark of Jamaican cinema.
He was one of just a handful of musicians, including Bob Marley and other greats, to be honored with the prestigious Jamaican Order of Merit.
