Grammy-winning musician/actor/singer/songwriter/producer Jimmy Cliff returns to the world stage in 2010 with his fullest slate of activity in decades. On March 15, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York City. Wyclef Jean inducted Cliff, who also performed that evening. The ceremony aired live on Fuse TV.

Following the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Jimmy Cliff mounted his most extensive North American tour in more than 20 years. Kicking off June 11 at the Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia, the tour will include stops at Bonnaroo's main stage, Toronto's Massey Hall, and the Hollywood Bowl, with many more dates and major festival performances to be announced soon.

Jimmy Cliff is also putting the finishing touches on his first album of new material in six years, to be released later in 2010. He shares his thoughts on the new album here.

Jimmy Cliff is the only living musician to receive Jamaica's Order of Merit, the country's highest honor for achievement in the arts & sciences. In 2007, he was also honored with a doctorate from The University of the West Indies. In a career that spans nearly 50 years, he has sold more than 20 million albums, with more than 25 releases to his credit. He has appeared in several films including, most famously, "The Harder They Come," which had an impact on reggae and pop music in general that can scarcely be overstated. He has collaborated with countless other legends including The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer, and Annie Lennox. Bob Dylan has called Cliff's "Vietnam" the best protest song he has ever heard, and a short list of artists who have covered Cliff's compositions ranges from Willie Nelson and Cher to New Order and Fiona Apple.
