Bob Marley continued to release an album each year until his death. An Innovative Adventures representative estimated that the band's drift away from the mainstream of Jamaican music, playing the new Reggae sound, has achieved worldwide record sales said to be in the region of £190 000, 000 and rising. Bob Marley survived an assassination attempt on the 3rd of December 1976, leaving Jamaica for 18 months in early 1977. Bob Marley had returned specially to perform the One Love Peace Concert in front of the Prime Minister of Jamaica: Michael Manley in 1979! The summer of that same year of 1979, Bob Marley and the Wailers were en-route to the United States on a tour which capitulated the audiences into a "catch a fire state" of pure excited unadulterated ecstasy. Near the end of that same year Bob Marley's paid his first visited to Africa that resulted in a live performance in Kenya before going on to Ethiopia, regarded by the Rastafarian as their sanctified land. Without hesitancy or doubt, Bob Marley can now be recognised as the most fundamental figure of the 20th century musical milieu! | | It's not just one man's opinion, but the feelings of a great many individuals worldwide and judging by all the mainstream of accolades thrown at Bob Marley's we know that prophecy is the misty prefecture of the deceived. But let's face it; in the three decades since Bob Marley has passed away, the wrinkles are incomparable, alive! Marley had pulsate his audience with such trouncing dynamism in presenting his lyric that even today, has never been really challenged at anytime, maybe in another hundred years from now! Bob Marley himself unduly epitomized Jamaican music with his charismatic song lyrics! |
