Valteena,

Welcome back girl! Smile.

I abosulely love Jimmy Cliff. For some reason, I don't se him as a Raggae artist, even though that how he is marketed. It doesn't matter. My favorite song is Too Many Rivers to Cross. For some reason it reminds me of Sam Cook's "Its Been A Long Time Coming." I saw him some years ago in a live concert. He was all over the stage. I need music to touch my spirit in some way. Jimmy touches me, and I am partial to the name Jimmy since my papa and brother are Jimmies.

Thanks Pooky. Its good to be back and you and others have put a smile on my face.

True some of his songs are more soulful than reggae but his genre is intrinsically reggae I suppose because of the messages they relay such as this song here.
