Jimmy Cliff. Cliff returned to Jamaica at the end of 1969 and recorded Many Rivers to Cross, which inspired Jamaican filmmaker Percy Henzell to offer him the lead role as a gun toting, drug selling rude boy in the 1970s cult classic, The Harder They Come.
The film made Cliff a major star in Europe, Africa, and Latin America and introduced him to U.S. listeners. He would later act with Robin Williams Club Paradise, and Stephen Segal in Marked For Death.
Cliff is working on a sequel to The Harder They Come. He has released 22 albums; in 1982 he was awarded the Norman Manley Award for Excellence in the field of Music, Order of Distinction and in 1985 Cliff won the Grammy Award for Reggae.
His music was highly influenced with a Jamaican brand of Christianity, which is why I can't for the life of me figure out why he would convert to Islam. Oh well.

Of course, the Marley and 'Scratch' team-up can never be replaced!
We hardly get reggae exposure in my country, so I grew up on British reggae group UB40 and only recently discovered the wicked pioneer of 'slack', Yellowman.
'Look how me sexy...' Oops...school project. LOL

They sing the song "I Love Paris", I can't remember the name of the band though. They're very good though.
