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 Marley -- including 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 the 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 acclaimed
journalist Christopher John Farley, the author of the
bestselling biography of Aaliyah and the reporter who broke
the story on Dave Chappelle's retreat to South Africa,
Before the Legend is bursting with fresh insights into
Marley and Jamaica, and is the definitive story of Marley's
early days.
