Non-Fiction Biography
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 Marleyincluding 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.
