Editorial Reviews: Product Description Bob Marley was the first, and possibly the only, superstar to emerge from the Third World. Although he lived a short life, only 36 years, Bob penned an enormous quantity of songs, pioneering a new reggae rhythm and sound that was distinctly Jamaican. An expert lyricist who could more than hold his own with any contemporary hip-hop word slinger, Bob crafted emotionally powerful chains of words that packed a serious punch. Twenty-five years after his death, the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers is as popular and relevant as it was the day it was released. Author David Moskowitz gives readers an inside look at the man behind the legend. Fans from all corners of the globe are a testament to the fact that his music transcends race, color, economic class, even language. From Marley's poverty stricken early childhood in rural Jamaica to break out his faith in Rastafarianism, this biography recounts the life and music of one of the most famous popular artists of the last century, an incredible story for long-time fans as well for a new and ever-increasing audience who were too young to witness Marley's history-making music career firsthand. A timeline, photos, and a rich bibliography of print and electronic sources make this biography ideal for both research purposes and casual reading.

Customer Reviews: Amazing!!! August 31, 2008 I thought that the book really explained more than just the musical side of Bob that we all know. I also love how it starts from the beggining of his life, explaining how he got into music. The book was a little small, but for the amount of pages it had, it got everything you needed to know. Another thing that I liked about the book was how it explained more than just his love for music. He put all his thoughts, feelings, and his surroundings into the music. I would reccomend this book to anyone. If you like music then this is the book for you!!!! Not worth it January 14, 2008 I bought this book new as a gift and was very disappointed to see how small and cheap it seemed. $34.66 for this little thing that looks like a kids book is NOT WORTH IT! I would have given it zero stars if it was an option.
