One Love: Life With Bob Marley And The Wailers

Ebooks To Download

An intimate portrait of two years on the eve of fame by a friend and collaborator of the Wailers. In 1973 young artist and filmmaker Lee Jaffe met Bob Marley in New York City and within hours cemented a friendship that would see Jaffe becoming a "Wailer" right down (or up) to his dreadlocks. While Marley was well known in Jamaica, he was little known in the rest of the world. Jaffe witnessed Marley's life and increasing fame during those years. He helped organize Marley's first American tour and played reggae with the Wailers throughout Jamaica. He learned Rastafarian ways. And he took wonderful, candid photographs of the many colorful characters who moved through Bob's world. This book, with the photographs and Jaffe's account of those exciting years, is a lens through which we have an intimate view of the young Marley. Jaffe's recollections of life with Marley are little diminished by time. Indeed, they are as colorful as the photographs, and as revealing. 120 four-color photographs.

This is a coffee-table-style book and the 5-star rating should be understood in that context. Any Marley/reggae fan, I suppose, wouldn't mind have this sitting around in their home. Lots of great photos and Jaffe's text is of significant interest as he was the "white Wailer" who hung out with the guys and played with the band for a short period (harmonica). Anyone who spent time with Bob will likely have observations to make that are worth hearing and Jaffe is no exception to the rule. It certainly isn't anything close to a biography of Bob or a portrait of Bob as a man of his times. It can be seen as a journal of significant interest in the life of someone who spent a brief period of time with the great Bob Marley. Review by the author of Stir It Up: The CIA Targets Jamaica, Bob Marley and the Progressive Manley Government, a novel.

The beautiful photos that give an intimate look at the life of Bob Marley before he became such an iconic figure would be enough, but together with the insightful and thoughtfully written accounts of those times by Lee Jaffe, this book is a definite must-have!!!

I understood that the book was about Bob Marley in the early years before fame, however, there was more information about Peter Tosh than Bob Marley.

Great book to add to my collection of books I buy and never read! Maybe one day I will break my leg and not be able to work for a month and plow through my growing library. Netflix will also have to go down at the same time.

i read the book at a friends and had to have a copy for myself. It was priced right and received it right away. Nice job
