Yes, this album contained a massive hit song. You're probably already playing it in your head just reading the title. This is a good album lead by Nash's smooth voice into the music the Fabulous Five Inc. are laying down.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.

Jimmy Cliff:
The Harder They Come:(1972)
While not entirely made up of Jimmy Cliff tracks, this is still a killer Jimmy Cliff record. In fact, this iconic album played a huge roll in popularizing Reggae music. I'm sure you're probably already familiar with this record's magic.
In Concert:(1976)
You just can't beat the amazing soaring vocals of the ever ebullient Jimmy Cliff, the man is amazing, and live performance is where he truly comes alive. I saw him recently, and he still sounds as good as he does on this 1976 live recording. You can't feel blue with Jimmy Cliff's music playing, especially when Many Rivers To Cross hits.
I Am The Living:(1980)
A few late 70's early 80's production techniques start creeping in on this one, but Cliff transcends better than most artist of this time. He's always had the ability to not just be Reggae, but Soul and R&B as well. I love this guy.
