Culminating a busy week in which he kicked off the annual Celebrate Brooklyn music series with a free concert in BK’s Prospect Park, Jimmy Cliff visited the Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday night. Clad in a yellow, alligator-print suit, Cliff offered an enthusiastic performance of “One More,” from his upcoming Sacred Fire album, leading the audience in a singalong for a song that we’re sure most (if not all) of them had never heard. After you’re done watching Jimmy on Letterman, check out his much more intimate performance at Miss Lily’s Variety captured by our own cameras this past December.
