Struggling man has got to move Struggling man no time to lose I'm a struggling man And I've got to move on.

Written in the aftermath of his longtime producer Leslie Kong's tragically early death, 1972's Struggling Man reflected Jimmy Cliff's desperate attempt to shake himself out of mourning and find a new career path. And it really was a struggle. Cliff had spent virtually his entire career with Kong, joining his Beverley's label in 1962, when he was only 14. Without Kong by his side, the singer was at a paralyzing loss, a state also reflected by his single "Sitting in Limbo.

Struggling Man remains a singular album in Cliff’s discography as it finds the usually chipper singer pondering themes of loss and disillusionment. Ultimately it is the tension between overwhelming despair, and Cliff’s will to celebrate in the face of suffering that makes Struggling Man such a compelling work. Struggling Man Jimmy Cliff. A tour de force album from one of reggae’s greatest songwriters, 1972’s Struggling Man finds Jimmy Cliff trying to pick up the pieces in the wake of the death of his mentor, the great ska and rocksteady producer Leslie Kong. Kong had introduced a teenaged Cliff to the Jamaican record industry in the early ‘60s, had helped him to develop and mature as a songwriter, and had furnished Cliff’s early hits with his soothing yet rough hewn sound. Kong’s sudden death left Cliff uncertain as to the creative and commercial direction of his career.
