Going Back West was my fave. It appeared on the famous Bumpers sampler which I've still got. Lovely clear voice he had.

No, main stage, one of the legends sets on a Sunday afternoon, 2003 I think.

God this has been a terrible year for music greats passing away with Brian Wilson, Sly Stone and Mani last week and now the superb Jimmy Cliff. I was lucky enough to see him sing at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Manchester and he was brilliant and of all his many great songs I always wanted to have many rivers to cross played at my funeral.
