Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright: The Bob Marley Reader (date of release: june 2004) Foreword by Roger Steffens
A collection of the best writings on Bob Marley, the late, legendary musician and world cultural icon who brought reggae music and Jamaican culture to a mass audience. Throughout Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and the U.S., the image of Marley has become fraught with deeper meaning than just a musician who put spiritual and political beliefs into hypnotic, rhythmic, hard hitting songs – he has turned into a touchstone of the possibilities inherent in the developing nations of the world. Marley’s tragic death, his fun, rebellious image, his faith, and more than anything, his personality and music created an enormously high profile career that has touched millions of people world wide. Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright synthesizes all these aspects into a cohesive reading experience, and deals with him as a political, spiritual, musical, and above all, human force; this book
brings together a diverse group of voices commencing with a preface by Roger Steffens and including pieces by Alice Walker, Rita Marley, former Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley, Lester Bangs, Robert Palmer, Vivien Goldman and more. The Bob Marley Reader incorporated pieces from publications ranging from Newsweek to High Times, from Rolling Stones to Peopl’s National Party Newspapaper.
