| | Marley was a musical genius for a multicultural age, a man for all seasons who died before his time, a shapeshifter who never fit into established musical formats. | | | When Marley recorded his albums, the studios in which he worked were often packed with friends and girlfriends, musicians and onlookers, folks who were playing on the record, and folks who were just playing around. | | | Marley worked primarily within one genre—reggae—but his songs investigated many moods and many modes. |

| | Saving Bob Marley from his fans. By Field Maloney |
| | Bob Marley's golden period was the three albums he cut with the original Wailers and the brilliant, certifiably insane, Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry: Soul Rebels, African Herbsman, and Rasta Revolution. | | | Bob Marley's greatest-hits album, Legend, came out in 1984, three years after his death, at 36, of a cancer that spread from his big toe. | | | Marley's music is steeped in the Old Testament, especially the Song of Solomon. |

| | As for innovation, Marley was a multi-talented synthesizer of new ideas and rhythms, beginning with his precocious "Judge Not" solo debut at the dawn of the ska era, right up through his ongoing experiments with gospel, r&b, rock, folk, jazz, Latin, punk, scat, disco, and even (in unpublished form) bossa nova. | | | I hereby predict with reckless confidence that hundreds of years into the future, Marley's melodies will be as prevalent as those of any songwriter who has ever lived. | | | Unlike mere pop stars, Bob was a moral and religious figure as well as a major record seller internationally. |

| | Jaffe met Bob in January 1973, in a motel room where Jaffe was visiting Jim Capaldi, the drummer for Marley’s label-mate on Island Records, Traffic. | | | As Bob’s music spread like wildfire among New York’s artistic elite, he could only compare their reaction to the reception of Jimi Hendrix’s first album in 1967. | | | “Bob was on a new, and what seemed to me less idealistic, path,” he writes, in an assessment that coincides with what Tosh told Cumbo after the 1975 concert with Stevie Wonder. |
