Copeland Forbes is one of the most consequential figures in the
history of modern Jamaican music. Through his roles as personal and
tour manager for some of the most iconic personalities in music,
Forbes has been a witness to and a participant in some of the most
intriguing dramas in the annals of modern popular music.Â
Forbes is a much sought after speaking at music symposia and
seminars across the world where his name is often a prime
attraction and his vast knowledge a source of enlightenment and
entertainment. Forbes has copped numerous awards for his
outstanding contribution to the music industry including the Order
of Distinction from the Government of Jamaica in 2017. In
Reggae My Life Is, Forbes provides riveting accounts of incidents
and colorful portraits of personalities that have helped to shape
our society and our culture. It is a matter of easy concession that
Forbes has led an exciting life. He has seen so many places and has
made so many things happen during the 60 years he was entrusted
with handling the affairs of some of the most celebrated figures
ever to grace our planet. Among some of the fascinating
figures making appearances in Forbes’ retrospective Bob Marley,
Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Jimmy Cliff, Bunny Wailer. Rita Marley,
Frankie Crocker, Danny Sims, Marcia Griffiths, Gregory Issacs,
Chris Blackwell, Mick Jagger, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, Don
Taylor, Sly and Robbie, Grace Jones and Don King. Forbes,
with his prodigious recall, is able to situate some of the more
seminal moments in the history of Jamaican music with clarity and
humor. His knowledge of venues, dates and personalities is
encyclopedic. Yet Forbes’ intention is not to provide fodder for
the gossip mill. His aim is, instead, to clarify and contextualize
in order to provide important lessons for those who seek to learn
from art and life.Â
