Jimmy Cliff is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer Jimmy Cliff (The Harder They Come, Many Rivers to Cross, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Cliff, a cultural icon
Born James Chambers in St James on April 1, 1948, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Jamaican history. Cliff's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jimmy hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jimmy Cliff as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.
Happy Birthday, Jimmy, you're the best!
