About this listen

This week James is joined by Dave Shiffman, filling in for Mark. For our last episode of 2025, we pay tribute to a reggae legend who passed recently, Jimmy Cliff. We listen to the song “Wonderful World, Beautiful People” from the 1969 album of the same name. We talk about how we found Jimmy Cliff’s music, his unique orchestrations, and the legacy that he left to the world. Jimmy Cliff helped open doors for reggae music, spreading it across the globe, and he will be missed. Rest in Power Jimmy Cliff!


A Conversation in Dub will return in 2026 with new episodes! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to our listeners and as always, keep dubbing!


"Wonderful World, Beautiful People" is available on all major streaming platforms and Youtube.
