  RIP Jimmy. ...one of the rare cases of a cover song being better than original imo. I Can See Clearly Now at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHxhQPOO2c

    Strong disagree, in the U.S. the original by Johnny Nash reached number 1 on the Billboard chart while the cover version by Cliff only reached #18.

  Ah The Harder They Come was such a sick film, though regrettably one of the only Caribbean films I’ve seen. Anyone have recs?
