Roger Steffens toured with Bob Marley for two weeks of his final
tour of California in 1979 and the music icon was the first guest
of Steffens' award-winning radio show. In So Much Things To Say,

and Bunny Wailer-as well as band members, family and
friends-Steffens reveals extraordinary new details, dispels myths
and highlights the most dramatic elements of Marley's life; his
psychic abilities and his overriding commitment to the peace and
love message of Rastafari. This landmark work will reshape our
understanding of this legendary performer.

In 1973 young artist and filmmaker Lee Jaffe met Bob Marley in New
York City and within hours cemented a friendship that would see
Jaffe becoming a "Wailer" right down (or up) to his dreadlocks.
While Marley was well known in Jamaica, he was little known in the
rest of the world. Jaffe witnessed Marley's life and increasing
fame during those years. He helped organize Marley's first American
tour and played reggae with the Wailers throughout Jamaica. He
learned Rastafarian ways. And he took wonderful, candid photographs
of the many colorful characters who moved through Bob's world. This
book, with the photographs and Jaffe's account of those exciting
years, is a lens through which we have an intimate view of the
young Marley. Jaffe's recollections of life with Marley are little
diminished by time. Indeed, they are as colorful as the
photographs, and as revealing. 120 four-color photographs.
