Various Artists \u2013 \u2018The Harder They Come\u2019 OST (1972)<\/p>\r\n
This is the soundtrack to the film, \u2018The Harder They Come\u2019, which starred Jimmy Cliff and featured his songs prominently on the accompanying album. The most famous of Cliff\u2019s songs is the title track, which has been covered so many times. I first heard it on a Madness cassette that my Dad had and we used to listen to in the car when I was a young boy, a live recording of their Madstock concert in 1992. There\u2019s also a live cover as a bonus track on the Japanese release of the Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros album \u2018Streetcore\u2019 (2003).<\/p>\r\n
The film and the soundtrack to \u2018The Harder They Come\u2019 were a breakthrough for reggae music in the UK, and a catalyst for the genre to gain mainstream popularity and chart success. Artists and songs from this soundtrack album went on to influence a lot of musicians throughout the 1970s and 1980s (and onwards), as seen by the well-known covers by famous groups. Actually, I know three of the songs (\u2018The Harder They Come\u2019, \u2018Many Rivers to Cross\u2019, \u2018Rivers of Babylon\u2019) because of versions performed by other artists.<\/p>\r\n
Only one of the Jimmy Cliff songs on the soundtrack (the title track) was recorded specifically for the film, with older recordings used too. One of them, \u2018You Can Get It If You Really Want\u2019, is still well-known today.<\/p>\r\n
Other well-known songs on the soundtrack include Cliff\u2019s \u2018Many Rivers to Cross\u2019, which was a hit when covered by UB40 in 1983, and \u2018Pressure Drop\u2019 by the Maytals, which was later covered by the Clash in 1980 and the Specials in 1996, among many others.<\/p>\r\n
But the most successful cover of a song from the soundtrack to \u2018The Harder They Come\u2019 is \u2018Rivers of Babylon\u2019 by the Melodians, which was covered by Boney M in 1978 and is one of the top 7 biggest selling singles of all time in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\r\n
Jimmy Cliff died in November 2025. The soundtrack to \u2018The Harder They Come\u2019 serves as a testament to his influence on popular music over the last 50 years.<\/p>\r\n
