4.0 out of 5 stars TRULY AMAZING . . ., December 29, 1999
This review is from: Reggae Greats (Audio CD)
A really great album. Every single solitary song on here is amazing! No throwaways, no fillers. The perfect album for anybody, whether you're a reggae fan or not. Inspirational, will comfort you in times of need.

If you pass this one up, you're missing out on some truly great music.

-- J.C. Hoyt

4.0 out of 5 stars Island style, May 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Reggae Greats (Audio CD)
The upbeat tunes of Jimmy make you feel like you are in the islands. I lirics in many of his songs are very thought provoking, sometimes not politically correct, as in the track Vietnam. This CD has many of the same tracks as the other Jimmy greatest hits release. None the less, great listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is da bomb, October 3, 1999
This review is from: Reggae Greats (Audio CD)
Jimmy Cliff is to Reggae what James Brown is to Soul. He was the first to really bring it out from its obscure beginnings in Jamaica to the rest of the world. While they are protest songs, they're still upbeat and easy listening.
