Bob Marley was a reggae superstar, a musical prophet who brought
the sound of the Third World to the entire globe. Before the
Legend: The Rise of Bob Marley goes beyond the myth of Marley to
bring you the private side of a man few people ever really knew.
Drawing from original interviews with the people closest to
Marley--including his widow, Rita, his mother, Cedella, his
bandmate and childhood friend, Bunny Wailer, his producer Chris
Blackwell, and many others--Legend paints an entirely fresh picture
of one of the most enduring musical artists of our times.
This is a portrait of an artist as a young man, from his birth
in the tiny town of Nine Miles in the hills of Jamaica, to the
making of his debut international record, "Catch a Fire." We see
Marley on the tough streets of Trench Town before he found stardom,
struggling to find his way in music, in love and in life, and we
take the wild ride with him to worldwide acceptance and adoration.
From the acclaimed journalist, Christopher John Farely, the author
of the bestselling AALIYAH and the reporter who broke the story on
Dave Chappelle's retreat to South Africa, Legend is bursting with
fresh insights into Marley and Jamaica, and is the definitive story
of Marley's early days.
