What was it about Bob Marley that made him so popular in a world
dominated by rock'n'roll? How is that he has not only remained the
single most successful reggae artist ever, but has also become a
shining beacon of radicalism and peace to generation after
generation of fans across the globe? On May 11, 1981, a little
after 11.30 in the morning, Bob Marley died. The man who introduced
reggae to a worldwide audience, in his own lifetime he had already
become a hero figure in the classic mythological sense. From
immensely humble beginnings and with talent and religious belief
his only weapons, the Jamaican recording artist applied himself
with unstinting perseverance to spreading his prophetic musical
message. And he had achieved it: only a year earlier, Bob Marley
and The Wailers' tour of Europe had seen them perform to the
largest audiences a musical act had up to that point experienced.
Record sales of Marley's albums before his death were spectacular;
in the years since his death they have become phenomenal, as each
new generation discovers afresh the remarkable power of his music.
Chris Salewicz, who had a sequence of adventures with Bob Marley in
Jamaica in 1979, offers us a comprehensive and detailed account of
Bob Marley's life and the world in which he grew up and came to
dominate. Never-before-heard interviews with dozens of people who
knew Marley are woven through a narrative that brings to life not
only the Rastafari religion and the musical scene in Jamaica, but
also the spirit of the man himself.
