Legendary reggae singer-songwriter Jimmy Cliff has signed with ICM Partners for representation across all areas, the company announced Wednesday. ICM plans to market the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s sequel to his classic 1972 film “The Harder They Come,” a documentary and memoir as well as his global touring, according to the announcement.

A native of Jamaica, holds the country’s highest honor, The Order of Merit, and along with Bob Marley is one of two Jamaican Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He has written such songs as “The Harder They Come” — and starred in the film of the same name — “Many Rivers to Cross,” “You Can Get It If You Really Want” and “Beautiful People, Beautiful World.” Over the years his songs have been covered by the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Annie Lennox; Bob Dylan called his song “Vietnam” “the greatest protest song ever written.”

In August 2021, Cliff released his latest single, “Human Touch,” and earlier this month performed at the Grammy salute to Paul Simon in Los Angeles. He will release new material later this year.
