Jimmy Cliff

キース・リチャーズ*1曰く、

Farewell Jimmy, I was in Jamaica when “The Harder They Come" was in every cinema on the island. You could feel the pride and and the love for Jimmy everywhere. The sweetest voice, the sweetest soul. His music will live with us forever! Heartfelt condolences to his family!

レゲエ・シンガーのジミー・クリフ*4が先月他界。享年81歳。
映画『ハーダー・ゼイ・カム』を観て、そのライヴ・アルバム（In Concert）を聴いたのが（たしか）1977年のこと。50年近く前になる。彼の曲を使用した映画『クール・ランニング』も30年前になるのか。
