#Reggae icon #JimmyCliff has passed away at the age of 81, his wife Latifa Chambers announced Monday (Nov. 24).

According to her statement, “Jimmy Cliff has crossed over due to a seizure followed by pneumonia.” She added, “To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career. … I also wanted to thank Dr. Couceyro and the whole medical staff, as they have been extremely supportive and helpful during this difficult process.”

He is best known for songs like “You Can Get It If You Really Want,” “The Harder They Come,” “Wonderful World, Beautiful People” and “I Can See Clearly Now.” His passing marks the end of a storied career in which he helped bring Jamaican music to a global audience and influenced generations of artists.
