Subject: RE: Obit: reggae musician Jimmy Cliff (1944-2025)
I Can See Clearly Now was the anthem for my recovery from a bad relationship in the 1980's. It took a couple of years to rethink my life, my direction in life, my priorities etc but when I finally started seeing a new direction and some hope on the horizon - that song just said it all.
I had heard the Johnny Nash version but I liked Jimmy Cliff's version better.
Rest in peace, Sir. I am eternally grateful for your songs and music.
