    Sad news. What a voice Jimmy had. Such passion. One of those I heard and had to stop and soak it in.

    RIP Jimmy.

    I have a tradition of always playing a song, or songs, from anyone who passes away.

    After all they're part of our history whether we loved the songs or not.

    In this case it was a pleasure, even though Reggae isn't my favourite genre.

    There's some wise words in this song, RIP mate.

    Reminds me of a joke where the punchline was I can see Deidrie now Lorraine has gone.

    Seriously though, I love a bit of reggae and Jimmy Cliff did some great tunes. Wonderful World, Beautiful People is a favourite.

    RIP Jimmy.
