This week's show is called "A Tribute to Jimmy Cliff." Tune in and hear Steve share a heartfelt tribute to Jimmy Cliff, one of Steve’s favorite musicians, who was a pioneer in bringing reggae music to a world audience. Jimmy Cliff’s message dealing with hardship, struggles, perseverance through challenges, and the faith to continue on had a profound influence on Steve.

In this episode of Right Thinking, I pay tribute to my musical inspiration, Jimmy Cliff, reflecting on his impact on reggae and resilience. I share my personal journey, sparked by watching "The Harder They Come," which ignited my passion for Jamaica and led to the creation of a travel agency concept tied to his music. I celebrate Cliff's ability to express struggles and social injustices through his lyrics, reading excerpts that highlight their motivational essence.
My experiences at the Locken Music Festival and his live performance further cement his influence on my work with individuals in prisons, using his songs as tools for encouragement. Additionally, I explore how Cliff’s legacy promotes themes of hope, love, and the universal fight against adversity, urging listeners to embrace these values as they navigate their own challenges.
