Through his daughter. Her rendition of "Many rivers to cross" was quite good. Watching Cliff's life's celebration on You tube.

Look wha' mi live fih si, Babylon ah march in time tuh Bongoman an' kette jum' If my Uncle was here (RIP) he'd laugh at himself so hard. Uncle often told the story of being a young soldier and watching a wizened old Rastaman (Circa 50's) lament how rastas were then the most reviled but one day will be princes of the nation. He said he laughed so hard at that "fool" but by the 1980's he acknowledged that "natty" was prophetic.
