Haitian artiste/producer and philanthropist, Wyclef Jean, has been selected to honour Jamaican reggae star Jimmy Cliff at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month.

Cliff, who is one of this year’s music nominees to the prestigious Hall of Fame, is noted on that organisation’s website of having an album that changed the face of music forever.

“Very few single albums can be said to have changed music forever. Jimmy Cliff’s The Harder They Come is one. The album — and the movie that spawned it — introduced reggae to a world-wide audience and changed the image of the genre from cruise ship soundtrack to music of rebellion and inspiration.

“Sitting in Limbo, The Harder They Come, You Can Get It If You Really Want, and Many Rivers to Cross made Jimmy Cliff the first international reggae superstar and created the model that Bob Marley would soon follow. A beautifully gifted singer and a uniquely influential songwriter, Jimmy Cliff has made a profound impact on rock and pop music all over the world for 40 years,” the bio on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website reads.

According to an Associated Press release, the presenters were announced Tuesday by the hall, which is based in Cleveland.

Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio is inducting rock group Genesis, while Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees will induct Sweden’s ABBA. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong is set to honour The Stooges and Jackson Browne will induct David Geffen.

The induction ceremony takes place March 15 in New York and will air live on Fuse TV.
