Stop lying to us and go do your research properly, Bob Marley never made it to 1982 he died on the 11th May 1981. You need to consult a spiritual healer because, you and your friend had seen a ghost in 1982. Lol!🤣

Great documentary but I feel that the powerful voice and role that Peter Tosh's music and speeches played in Jamaica and around the world, his fight against oppression and against apartheid and his captivating combination of music, interspersed with a powerful speech at the One Love Peach Concert should have been given greater prominence. Peter predicted that the peace concert would not make any difference in curtailing the violence at the time- Listen to his song -Peace Treaty. For anyone who is interested have a listen to Peter Tosh live at the one love peace concert.

[@slyesco]

Peter Tosh said at the concert that “Peace is something that you find in the cemetery”

[@PAULLONDEN]

Not any reggae docu that I've seen spoke about weed for longer than a few short instances and a few images of smoking rastas, which no matter how you think about weed, was an essential part of roots reggae , or even of the post 1982 boring watered down versions of "reggae" .

Before the 1970's, Reggae was unknown to the world and was only a traditional music in Jamaica. But Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and Peter Tosh made it a worldwide phenomenon since the 1970s. Bob Marley met Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Nash, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, and George Harrison.

I grew up as a licka white bwoy in the Caribbean..... I did my schooling there , I had many West Indian teachers and not one of them was unkind to me , not the same for the 'brit' teachers some of them were animals beating us on the ass to the point you couldn't sit down ..... then for me came 'herb ' in 72' .... then reggae with the album burning in the shape of a zippo lighter but when Natty Dread came out in took the Caribbean by storm ⛈.... Rasta and herb were in the forefront of the movement against the ultra conservative establishment and things got heavy ..... it was hard to work and in the end my mother sent me to Europe....... people these days take for granted the freedoms they have ( of course they have other problems) but back in the 60's and 70's the Caribbean was tough but beautiful place ... most days I wish I had never left as the world in the general has truly become 'Babylon ' ..... bless up the Caribbean and its wonderful people and musicians

A medium size Carribbean island. My Boy Lollipop by Mullie Smalls was the first Jamaican song to hit in the US. As a little white kid in the '70s, my Mom exposed me to a lot of it, The Harder They Come sdtrk. Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley. At the time, I didn't understand it and just grooved on the beats age 6-7. I collected a lot of Ska, Reggae & Rock Steady in my college days & 20s.

My Boy Lollipop is one of the first Jamaican records for a lot of people - you do realise however that Millie’s version was a cover version of an American record by a singer called Barbie Gay. She recorded the original version of the song.
