What Blackwell did to Peter and Bunny is unfair. He should have credited them for their contributions, and allowed them to reap the reward for their hard work

[@JamesAnderson-e2x]

Chris Blackwell promoted Bob Marley at the expense of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer so they left. That wasn't Bob's fault but it did open the way for Bob's international rise. Chris Blackwell didn't do Peter and Bunny right though.

Bob was just smart he went for the money the locals rob him no money the dread saw the opportunity he was crying back then how wicked the local producers was they always robbing him at least he got paid from Blackwell so Ziggy could go to school

[@JamesAnderson-e2x]

Chris Blackwell may have respected Rastafari but he saw Reggae as a form of Rock. Bob didn't. Bob saw Reggae as revolutionary music for Africans and other oppressed people. They had different visions of what Reggae was. Chris wanted to sell Bob to white audiences. Bob wanted to reach Black audiences.

Well a lot of producers didn't deal with artist good but I definitely know Mr Dodd isn't one because I've watched everyone from Johnny Osbourne to Alton Ellis even Dennis Brown ran to Mr Dodd for help and he would help also the copyright law didn't exist in Jamaica until 1990s whom Mr Dodd and Pj Patterson had to fight for Chris Blackwell is the worst because people like Max Romeo and Junior murvin is still fighting for their publishings up to this day Blackwell sold the whole catalog to universal and still no one was being paid so this clearly shows he was trying to use peter and Bunny to benefit Bob he even had the band members doing promo concerts which is wrong Bob is suppose to do promo the musicians are suppose to be paid now I really see why family man felt robbed and mistreated

Chris Whitewell, the vulture

[@Thequeenjuices]

He only favored Bob Marley over Bunny and Peter because Bob is Half White with lighter Skin. Bunny and Peter full blood Afro yaad men. Bob image like the video said was more safe for a White Crossover😒

[@user-je6xx8jd4i]

And who is surprised? Nuff said

[@user-qy3mf7ci6e]

Whitewell is a vampire

[@chicfini]

Black people are always picking up strays, Dr John Henry Clarke did a whole lecture on this.

[@anthonyhutchinson77]

I would really like this area to be researched. I know from experience that because of the unjust social structures and limited business training received by most black men up to my generation, claims of unfair treatment have been made because our people were not privy to acceptable music business practices... not all (though perhaps most) of our artistes were subjected to skulduggery. Some persons, I suspect, called cheating what was really ignorance on their part (including the inability or unwillingness to read carefully). It is important for us to determine the whole truth... and face our own shortcomings with a view to understanding and re-preparing our approach to development... instead of always depending on other people to do it for us!

Big up Chris Blackwell bob Marley good root reggae one love jah Rastafarian good video ras Dennis big a fan reggae bob Marley

[@justyna4276]

Reggae done more for Blackwell than he did for reggae. One of the first culture vultures. His family were plantation owners, so it's obvious him and his family are vampire's.

[@tb22k]

Chris Blackwell I would say that to be honest

[@kubengovender6996]

Big up brother man!!

[@jr.rasentertainment4074]

This is the first time I actually got to know more about Chris Blackwell..

[@evertonshaw2580]

Big up Chris

[@patrickrowe6745]

So are you saying Bob was not as wise to rely on Chris to reach the height he reached and neither was Jimmy or Toots either nor Sly & Robbie, Grace Jones etc? Hmmm! What a stretch

[@johnmurphy6556]

This is why Peter Tosh called Chris Blackwell, Chris Whitewell. Chris said that his involvement in music was about uplifting the black artists, but if so, then surely that should have extended to equal financial uplifment. I don't believe that happened ,so what was Chris talking about? Uplifting their profile and opportunity to make and establish hit records that the white well got full up (profitted) from. What do you think?
