  Respect Mon, Respect February 7, 2009 If you like Jimmy Cliff or Reggae then this is a must have CD. It has all his best songs and many others I have not heard. The recording quality is top notch.
If you only enjoy one or two of Cliff's songs then I would suggest you get a compolation CD as it might be more to your liking. This CD would be more for the fans that want more depth to his music... and for those fans it is awesome.
  Very Very Good CD July 22, 2008 I forgot how good Jimmy Cliff is! This CD holds up very well to repeated listenings!

Its upbeat which is fine, for a party or background beach bar music. Its not what I thought it would be. Amazon recommeded it and thats why I bought it. Amazon and I are still getting to know one another...
  Sunshine reggae June 23, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jimmy Cliff is one of the greatest pioneers of reggae. He is my favourite reggae artist,and his sunshine feel-good is reggae-calypso music in it's best tradition. Reggae evolved from calypso, and one could say that reggae is the rock version of calypso. This album is one of the most comprehensive collections of his work, and is a collection you have to have. Includes the including the hope-filled song of brotherhood (and sisterhood), WONDERFUL WORLD BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, the beautiful and haunting MANY RIVERS TO CROSS, the 1960'protest song Vietnam (billed by Bob Dylan as the best protest song ever), Cliff's great cover of the Cat Stevens hit 'Wild World', African drumbeats of BONGO MAN (A COME), the angry The Harder They Come ,the inspirational Sooner Or Later and the equally inspirational You Can Get It If You Really Want , and Cliff's really spectacular cover of the Johnny Nash hit I Can See Clearly Now. This is the definitive greatest hits album of Jimmy Cliff's work, mainly from the 60's and 70's.
