About The Harder They Come
Amazon.com Jamaican filmmaker Perry Henzell made reggae an integral player in his gritty 1973 saga of a renegade Kingston singer who becomes a modern Robin Hood, casting one of the style's earliest stars, Jimmy Cliff, in the lead, and filling this soundtrack--here presented in a remastered version--with classics from Toots & the Maytals ("Pressure Drop," "Sweet and Dandy"), Desmond Dekker ("Shanty Town"), the Melodians ("Rivers of Babylon"), and the Slickers ("Johnny Too Bad"). Cliff himself gets pole position, however, getting in the first ("You Can Get It If You Really Want") and last ("The Harder They Come") words in this first-rate reggae primer, which also features Cliff's enduring "Many Rivers to Cross." --Sam Sutherland Product Description The breakthrough album that (in conjunction with the film of the same name) burst reggae into the mainstream with its initial U.K. release in 1972, and in the U.S. in 1973 on Island Records' newly inaugurated reggae imprint, Mango. The soundtrack features performances from the film's star Jimmy Cliff as well as other reggae legends such as Toots & The Maytals, Desmond Dekker and more.
