Jimmy Cliff

Studio 360

Jimmy Cliff helped bring reggae to America in the 1970s with his film and soundtrack, “The Harder They Come,” and last month he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Cliff tells Kurt about growing up listening to radio broadcasts from New Orleans and helping Bob Marley get his start. And he performs live in our studio.
