Jimmy Cliff - The harder they come, studio version

[muttoncuffs]

excelent music but the film is shite like

[liskam09]

@muttoncuffs movies good too yer wrong

[Cgeorge311]

Ok, SO I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP. In the "Music Productions" documentary with jimmy cliff visiting his home town, about twenty minutes into the film it shows jimmy and his band in the studio throwing down a sick newer style song. I need to know the name of the song! If anyone can help let me know!

[nrufff]

Anybody know where I can get a better quality rip of this version of the track? It's so much better than the album version! (I guess his passion in the video makes it too :P)

[6Feb1945]

@nrufff If you buy the Film on Amazon, you will get a good quality of this studio version

[brainybeachbabe]

Sing It Jimmy. You're awesome!

[mrfungihead]

The Harder they come The Harder they fall.......

Fuck the Haters.....

Cant keep me down.....

[Mariahclarke]

Jimmy Cliff looks tight and fit...that t-shirt needs to come off!

[rocksteady1312]

oh god, he absolutely disappeared at 3:00 and took me with him.. 

[SantiVidal19]

THIS IS MUSIC !!!!!! Cant this videoo .... THIS IS ONE MOVIE TO OWN ! great movie... awesome CLIFF

[bhamboy05]

Love this, lots of people think of reggae and Bob Marley as if hes the only reggae artist. Jimmy Cliff is just as good.

[gruntfuckle]

@bhamboy05 dont forget about toots and maytals

[ededketra1]

the harder they come, the harder they fall...

[snotnoseclimber]

I love this verison, you can really see he's in the moment with this song, nevermind how he forgets some of the lyrics! Brilliant.

[snotnoseclimber]

@snotnoseclimber on second thoughts its a wicked freestyle with some feeling :D

[MrMick7000]

release this version its raw the its best top man

[highlands4eva]

the oppressors are trying to keep me down!! i'd rather die a free man than a puppet or a slave??? who can argue with that....

[GuitarMirth]

@highlands4eva "A live dog is better than a dead lion."

[ImperialGuardofIran]

@GuitarMirth i would rather live as 1 day of a lion than 100 yeas as a dog

[GuitarMirth]

@ImperialGuardofIran "A chacun de leurs propres"

[ImperialGuardofIran]

@GuitarMirth thats very open minded of you 

[RealMenDrinkCoffee]

@ImperialGuardofIran My dog 'Kiddo' lives like a King. Pillows in every room, 2 meals a day, treats, his own space on the couch. Water bowl always filled and fresh, choice of dog food, and table scraps.

He'd love to live fore 100 years.

[ImperialGuardofIran]

@RealMenDrinkCoffee by dog i meant a human is not the master of his own life but i'm glad to hear that u take good care of ur dog used the foster dogs for a dog home but cant now as i'm in uni :( i'v got pics of all my dogs on my wall god i miss them but i'm sure that my dogs would want to live for 100 years as they could do as they wish and they enjoyed life

[RealMenDrinkCoffee]

@ImperialGuardofIran I hear you bro. It's all good. Peace and Blessings.

[saciji]

My God!!! How superb to listen to this studio version after so many decades - no fancy digital, no doctoring voices that can't sing and have nothing to say. No laser wunderworks to detract from the great nothingness!! Still gives me goosebumps - don't need any ganga to trip on this!! Million thanks !!!!!! :) :) :)

[tjmacjee]

Rude Boy

[genreslur]

[jPapa2008]

Great to see an Asian brother was in the Ghetto at such an early part of the movement.

[timelongerthanrope]

@jPapa2008 1 ov the greatest if not the greatest record producers of that era... R.I.P Leslie Kong....

[paulePpunkt]

suPergUt

[ahmidis74]

This is pure, organic, visceral performance. You can feeeel it like a mutha! A legend pure and simple. Look and learn all you talent-less piece of crap out there who feel you're special 'cos people who know no better are buying sub-par music.

[jimdropzone]

woooop! this is a song from my past.! london...house parties... brixton.. battersea... rent parties... early house..... leading to acid house... raves... and festivals....

[waynealarsen]

the chugging rythmic bass line knocks me out

[MrKenbob67]

[megadzakra]

Jimmy Cliff is a good example of god's gifts

[patrickshark]

[beetrootbertha]

sorry meant to put it here [thanks for the memories] although i grew up in the seventies and enjoyed the fun of glam rock , it was jimmy cliff ,desmond decker, and such like that we danced to in the clubs many many happy memories of friday and saturday nights dancing our feet of and carrying our shoes home or trying to find them in the back of the taxi our shoes i mean not our feet. cheers great sounds.

[Teamo4MSB]

Who are the 2 men in the background please?

[daniel44ska]

God bless you Jimmy!!!!!

[MrAblack1]

Don't mess with Dr. Cliff. Remember the movie--"The Harder they Come" when he kicks that guy's butt and brings him to his knees and says, "You want dead? I kill you, you 'claat. Don't ---- with me." Yeah, he's for real!

[achiquitere]

EL MEJOR!!!

[MrStrutzzz]

Einfach nur ein geiler Song...

Peace Love and Happynes... Brothe´s and Sister´s

[shinotora1X]

Jimmy Cliff kicks arse.

[bluesatsunset]

I am a man who loves his music also.

[dullsvillain]

My inner hippie just lit a spliff and dances in a circle ((O))

[wwoodw1853]

[aceg81]

[oakdaddy]

JC was on The Colbert Report last night, but this is how I see him: iconic and inspiring. Irie!

[ghostnemesis1]

[custer1968]

@joolspirog....decent brogues last for life don't they mate :)

[joolspirog]

Man, this takes me back to my first 2 tone tonic suit, the Ben Sherman gear, the braces and stacked up brogues ( which I still have). Great and happy times with great friends. God bless you Jimmy Cliff.

Rudeboy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cafethis]

Best song ever



[drplbiftin]

I came hard

[djayandy]

This was the very 1st album I ever ( and still) owned. treasured memories, even met Jimmy when he played at t e Free trade hall in Manchester. wrong venue for a reggae artist in the 70s

[egrogshub]

Great music.

Thank you for posting.

[morganhayes]

I put my iTunes reggae smartfolder on shuffle and I hadn't heard this for a while. Enjoy the song, the beautiful evening, and the ones around you!

The bastards aren't takin' tomorrow off but "the harder they come, the harder they fall"

[sandaleepo]

@MVMassing

Don't know what he said but most probably - this guy is good. The Asian dude is most probably Leslie Kong, the pioneering Jamaican Chinese producer. Jimmy Cliff was his first artist; he also produced Bob Marley's first two songs and Desmond Dekker's international hit, Israelites. But I could be mistaken as there are many Jamaican Chinese producers involved in the Jamaican record industry.

[sensibyrd]

This song can make anyone feel good.

[2072306]

pretty awesome, Jimmy cliff is LEGENDARY

[DJPaulgee1]

This is true reggae music. Love it.

[altwist42]

i got to see the man himself a few years ago, a small gig then at a womad festival. jimmy cliff was out of this world, he also had a great band behind him. blew my mind very cool

[notoriouslizw]

I love you jimmy and whenever I am sad you always bring me up

[45greyowl]

I wish I saw this live.

[TheAremo]

Dedicated to "Dudus" Coke I presume !

Wow! the versatility of the man!..Scroll down on related videos to `Give a little take a little` & watch a younger version of him, in an up-tempo tune, on `Ready Steady Go` in 1969, give Michael Jackson(RIP) a run for his money, in the dance stakes... Well Talented !!

[kawaim0m0]

Respect to one and all

[glynnth]

If there was just an easy way to ingest it, without smokin it! (cough, cough...)

Can I get a ganja pill??

[gunslinger19x]

they have THC pills. they prescribe them to some cancer patients. they dont work too well though, as far as getting you high. if you dont like smoking it, try putting weed into some brownies or something. theres plenty you can do with it, it doesnt necessarily have to be smoked.
