Bob Marley

In the clear Jamaican sunlight, you can pick out the component parts of which the myth of Bob Marley is comprised: the sadness, the love, the understanding, the God-given talent. Those are facts.
There is one more thing of which we can be certain: Bob Marley never wrote a bad song. He left behind the most remarkable body of recorded work. ‘The reservoir of music he has left behind is like an encyclopaedia,’ says Judy Mowatt of the I-Threes. ‘When you need to refer to a certain situation or crisis, there will always be a Bob Marley song that will relate to it. Bob was a musical prophet.’ ” For more info on Bob Marley, visit www.bobmarley.com.
