If you have never seen "The Harder They Come" it is an excellent movie, and groundbreaking for Jamaica's previously unheard of movie industry. Highly recommended. |

This is from songfacts.com: Jimmy Cliff wrote this in 1969. After years of poorly paid tours of Europe, he remembered crossing the English Channel to Dover in a despondent mood, wondering what more he had to do to gain acceptance. When Jamaican filmmaker Percy Henzell heard this song, he offered Cliff the lead in his film The Harder They Come. Cliff's acting and soundtrack to the film made him one of the first international Reggae superstars. |
