Rita Marley Interview About Memoir: “No Woman No Cry” with Tom Ashbrook - June 4, 2004 (RARE)

Dear fans, It was awhile that I didn't post no contents on my KZbin channel.
But I try to upload more 'amazing contents' soon as possible with incredible stories.
Here's an exclusive rare interview of
Rita Marley who got interviewed by
Tom Ashbrook during his radio program WBUR FM/ (On Point) while she promoted her autobiographical book
"No Woman, No Cry: My Life With
Bob Marley."
Info: When Bob Marley sang
"No Woman No Cry" on tour, often with his wife Rita Marley singing backup, he would often use its tender lyrics to mend their fitful marriage. In many ways, Rita Marley was the woman from Trenchtown in her husband's famous song. They married when she was 19. He was 21.
She was with him at the beginning. She was with him at the end. In between was a bond of music, four children, and a marriage whipped by the highs and lows of Bob Marley's stardom. After his death in 1981, Rita Marley went on with her own music career and a rich embrace of development projects in Africa. Now she's written a memoir of her life, and life with Bob Marley.
This program aired on June 4, 2004.
I hope you guys like it 💚💛❤️🦁

Binge watching all Bob Marley content since the One Love movie debut on February 14. Wonderful interview with the queen Rita Marley 🥰

[@marvelouss719]

Me too. I saw a skinny Rita performing in Santa Barbara. Beautiful!

[@tandeecut8007]

Me too 😍♥️

[@akeemdownes8049]

Rita Marley is the foundation of Bob Marley.

[@KHayes-jz7tt]

She is the epitome of unconditional love. She was there for him as she said a sister, friend and wife. I can relate to her about loving someone that much.

[@gisele422]

Seriously!!

[@moyrahroberts2275]

A True "rib"...

[@BatomeneNduengosoAndre-jw1tj]

Rita you are a true Bob Marley's wife ❤❤❤

[@barringtonedwards7008]

😂😂😂😂

[@andreaclarke161]

Behind every successful man is a woman. Hail up the legends Bob and Rita. BTW: The movie was fantastic

[@verbenanewyear450]

What an incredible woman, Rita you've paid the price and made all the sacrifices to make Bob into who he is. You were totally dedicated and committed to your Divine Destiny with Bob. You deserve all the Respect , I salute Queen Rita, A Woman of Distinction❤

[@barringtonedwards7008]

BLAH BLAH BLAH. YOU'RE ALL LOST IN THE LIES. BOB MARRIED RITA FOR TRAVEL PAPERS FEBRUARY 10 1966. THE NEXT DAY MY MASTER BOB FLEW TO DELAWARE TO VISIT HIS MOTHER CEDELLA. AND BOB GAVE MANY INTERVIEWS WHERE HE SAID HE DENOUNCED WESTERN MARRIAGE. AND BOB DIVORCED RITA AND LEFT HER FOR CINDY😂😂😂. RITA WAS A NIGHTMARE TO BOB. AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. LIKE RITA WRITING IN HER BOOK "NO WOMAN NO CRY" THAT BOB ABANDONED HER AND THE KIDS FOR MONTHS AND NEVER SENT THEM A DIME. THAT'S AFTER THEY SHOT AFTER HIM. BOB FOUND OUT SOME THINGS ABOUT RITA THAT WOULD MAKE YOU CRINGE. RITA IS CIA FROM CUBA AND STEPHEN LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS DAD MORTIMMO PLANNO AND CEDELLA BOTCHED HER FACE AND UNDERWENT FACIAL RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AND BLEACHED HER SKIN AND SO DID ZIGGY, KYMANI, STEPHEN, SELAH, ROHAN, JO MERSA, JULIAN AND SKIP AND ROBBIE AND YG AND MANY MORE. THEY ARE NOT MARLEYS😂😂. THEY ARE NARLEYS DAMIAN IS BOB' SON. THE REST ARE COUNTERFEITS AND HE TELLS YOU AS MUCH IN HIS SONG "HERE WE GO". HE IS THE ORIGINAL GONG.

[@iricaja]

I love this woman how she carries herself with grace. #Virteuoswoman#AfricanQueen.

[@jolhamilton]

Listen to this interview and hear this queen story, I respect her. I don’t understand how Cindy thinks she should be the highlight of his life. This woman is the ultimate champion of strength and integrity. She was with him from the beginning to the end of his life. And she doesn’t even behave as Cindy does…crave attention.

[@moyrahroberts2275]

Agreed, the characteristics of a TRUE queen

[@TheoldGmaWay]

It's seem they would let each other go; true. Making of a good black woman; thru the up&

[@TheoldGmaWay]

'&DOWNS & TRUE TŔUE TURN AROUND. ĹIVE BOB MARLEY❤❤❤❤

[@jolewis2057]

Exactly. Cindy is still out there trying to make herself relevant by trin to being the attention to her. While Queen Rita remains dignified, classy, and graceful.

[@dainialawes3043]

I wonder how long Cindy was even in the picture? 🤔

[@anthonyhutchinson77]

Respect Rita... you have been a true champion...

[@maricaplummer5418]

Lovely interview. Bob married someone who looks like his mom

[@KQueenofTheSouth]

It's the deep psychological need that equates for him stability, self knowledge, (Comfort)emotional bonding,... and other depth parts of the soul.In this case, Rita looked and had great qualities like his mom. On the other hand, When you see a man unable to leave his mom's house, and live on his own or replace mom with a wife of his very own-- don't judge, there are psychological reasons behind it. Bob loved Rita deeply no matter what anyone says. It was a spiritual+psychological+emotional bond soul love.

[@PJ-po7fu]

Facts

[@Leira6267]

You are so right. Rita natural nurturing & how she carried herself. Was how his mother was. For the longest I thought The mother was older version of Rita and young version of Rita was when she was young. I only figured it out months ago.

[@user-yg9tw8rl1k]

You sound like you jealous! It was Bob's choice. And Jah Will.

[@Junie-uh9ik]

Never heard this before! Rare indeed! Rita Marley is the foundation of Bob Marley…she was there from the early years. Salute to the Queen.

[@marlenewatson]

Rita Marley deserves everything that life has to offer.The legacy of Bob Marley. One queen, one wife, endure a lot, and conquer 💪

[@antoinetterobinson5404]

True Queen, a woman with a lion heart, courageous and graceful ❤

ANYBODY, AND I MEAN ANYBODY WHO IS MAKING MONEY FROM YOUR NAME SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED WHEN IT COMES TO DETAILING ACCURATE ACCOUNTS OF YOUR LIFE. YOU SEE THE STUPID MOVIE? THAT IS NOT THE AUTHENTIC NESTA ROBERT MARLEY. NOPE. THAT IS BOB MARLEY. A SOFTER VERSION OF HIMSELF. A WEAKER VERSION OF HIMSELF. 😂😂

Wow, what an amazing woman, much respect. I think I will never be as evolved as her to love someone to such a degree of uncondicional love. Omg and the singing at the end brought me to tears. What a sad and wonderful story

[@rainstein3680]

"One Love" is a wonder of a movie, endorsed fully by the Marley family!! Once is not enough to catch all the nuances of this sensitive portrayal of the reggae artist!! I have already seen it twice in my hometown. ....This interview is superb!! RIP BOB MARLEY

Respect due to all the true Rasta men and women out there who were frowned upon and treated as society outcast in jamaica .Downtown and countryside rasta 1960 and 1970 if you know you know the struggles were real. If you know you know respect.

[@jeanclarke9106]

It is puzzling that Rita mentioned 'that is when Peter and Bunny decided to step back', but chose not to explain and contextualize the circumstances why Peter and Bunny decided to step back.In stir it up, this was the Wailers singing with Peter Tosh on lead guitar, not just Bob.

I cried when I read Rita and Cedella's book. Beautiful and sad. The new film is shameful though. Bout they can't understand Jamaicans. They didn't understand Bob or Rita? Smh oh please 🙄

[@barbaralundie8457]

Rita Marley has always been the best communicator in the family and well spoken and articulate, nothing new. I read her book published in 2004, No Woman No Cry - it was funny and serious at the same time. Maybe you should read it and there's no criticism for the movie. It is what it is. Rita was on the set of the movie so she gave it her stamp of approval. Lots were left out of the Movie but that's not on Ziggy it was the Director who cut it out for whatever reason. Maybe a Part 2 will be forthcoming.
