Stop the war sang Jimmy Cliff at Glastonbury 2011, changing the title of his 1960s anti-war hit Vietnam to Afghanistan. Bob Dylan called Vietnam the best protest song he ever heard. Jimmy Cliff’s many hits include Wild World, You Can Get It If You Really Want It, I Can See Clearly Now, Wonderful World Beutiful People. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
