Reggae

Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff starred in the classic island crime film and contributed four unforgettable original songs to its ever-fresh ska and roots reggae soundtrack: "Sitting in Limbo," "Many Rivers to Cross," "You Can Get It if You Really Want," and "The Harder They Come." The collection, which also includes greats like The Maytals and Desmond Dekker, is responsible for introducing reggae music to a lot of white folks. So sure, it's responsible for a couple Ras Trents, but we can't hold that against it.
