Jimmy Cliff's death brings to mind The Harder they Come soundtrack. Decades ago, I was lucky enough to find it in a thrift shop - I subsequently played the record to death. While this isn't a Cliff tune, I've always loved it and IMHO it remains the most powerful track on album today (but feel free to disagree - it's a great record all the way through).
