Jimmy Cliff, OM (born James Chambers; 1 April 1948) is a Jamaican ska & reggae musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer and actor. He is the only living musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences.
Cliff is best known among mainstream audiences for songs such as "Wonderful World, Beautiful People", "Many Rivers to Cross", "You Can Get It If You Really Want", "The Harder They Come", "Reggae Night" and "Hakuna Matata", and his covers of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" and Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" from the film Cool Runnings. He starred in the film The Harder They Come, which helped popularize reggae across the world, and Club Paradise. Cliff was one of five performers inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
Jimmy Cliff was born in Somerton District, St. James, Jamaica. He began writing songs while still at primary school in St. James, listening to a neighbour's sound system. In 1962 his father took him to Kingston to go to Kingston Technical school, where he ended up sharing his cousin's one rented room in East Kingston.

there's a better recording of this performance at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBzXtc8CrrM The audio is out of sync with the pictures on my recording. This has led some people to think that Jimmy was miming and/or using autotune. He was not - neither Jimmy Cliff or the TV show in question would countenance such things - any problems are with my recording, not with his performance. my blog is at http://worldsgreatestmusic.blogspot.com here's a link to buy the original on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=15103134&id;=15103083&s;=143444

💕 Hello everyone! Though I have lots of great ideas and tons of cool songs waiting on my "to-do" list, this recent request stood out from the crowd for some reason. I've never heard of this song before, therefore it's quite a challenge to me to interpret it properly with my limited knowledge and life experiences. Anyway, I hope you like my piano version of this beautiful song. Lots of love~💋💋 Lyrics: Many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find my way over Wandering I am lost As I travel along the white cliffs of dover Many rivers to cross And it's only my will that keeps me alive I've been licked, washed up for years And I merely survive because of my pride And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's such a drag to be on your own My woman left me and she didn't say why Well, I gues...

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this lonliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yes I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Yes I've got many rivers to cross
