Rita Marley - in-depth interview (1991)

[@makedaalexander6276]

This interviewer asked what the estate was worth. Ms Rita gave the best answer...its worth more than money. Round of applause for Queen Rita!

Fabulous movie. They did a great job of depicting Rita!! Solid solid woman!!

[@BoosieLoo]

I love her. A woman of grace, humbleness and strength. She used to ride her bicycle in Trench Town during the early years selling Bob’s records when he was a nobody, that’s how much she believed in him. Rita was there from the beginning to the end and has carried on his legacy since his death. She truly loved BOB! The Empress of the Marley legacy!

[@benmacdui9328]

Gold digger.

[@BoosieLoo]

@@benmacdui9328how is she a gold digger when she was with Bob before he was famous and had a dime. The other women who wanted him once he was famous might fit that TERM THOUGH!!!

[@AS-wj1du]

​@@BoosieLoowho called Rita a gold digger? Such fools whoever did that. The comment is deleted. That woman was with Bob when he had no permanent home and he adopted her daughter, married her all before fame. The others after cared about the fame including Cindy the Jamaican beauty queen who had his son Damnin only after his fame because her uptown family didn't like he was a rasta although he too was mixed race. Bob was from the country and they didn't approve but she went against them after he became rich

[@jamaicansoulteacher6649]

I always knew that Bob Marley was a chosen one, and to see his mom admitting it in an interview is awesome. His near death experience 1976 triggered his spiritual awakening and he went into isolation in London. He produced Exodus when he was awakened✨💫 not everyone will understand this, but those who know will do✨💫👑

[@Blushcoco]

Beautiful love you Rita I read the book so powerful full of love, betrayal, trust and loyalty to the end. Bob promised Rita she would always be his wife and no one could penetrate that circle with his wife and children. Many women tried and failed he loved Rita to the end.

[@AS-wj1du]

So proud of Rita. Even though Bob cheated he seemed to love and understand that he should be proud of his wife. His other kids seem to love her too. To think it was 10 years after she lost her husband. She's a strong woman and has built his legacy. Bob's only wife

[@howtosavyguides]

He was very disrespectful. I love his music and his message but he loved none of those women. It seems he was a wounded prophet. He had a message but he was fighting his own demons. Maybe he lacked self worth from being rejected by his dad and the white side of his ancestry. To heal the wounds of his tortured mind, he slept around to find even temporary solace.

[@shukuratulilah]

They forget that. She was with Bob during the 60s in the early Wailers when it was just Bob, Bunny and Peter doing harmonies on a lot of the early stuff. I remember reading Rita used to be heavily pregnant with Bob in the studio working alongside him. She knows the struggle of grinding with him from the beginning.

You are soft spoken and humble.❤❤❤❤❤❤men always look to their wives for confirmation about the children outside of the marriage that's as long as you know about it. Solomon had many wives and lots of bible personalities had more than one wife, so you are Bob's right hand and no one can take it away from you.

[@kagamaguvadivenkatesh2363]

A very significant interview. Rita Marley is just reflecting what we, in India, believe about re- incarnation philosophy. Science has also supported this, as well as the experiences of the people. Feelings transmitted through lyrics & sung are as much relevant today as they were when he rendered. As a lover of Reggae music and the principles those compositions express, i am too glad to learn from the interview that the Family of the Marleys have been keeping alive their genre of music. Let me also compliment the Jamaican government for their efforts. In fact, the Afro- Carribbean governments, all the governments of Black Africa and those of the Caribbean, must collectively preserve the heritage of links between the two continents. Pranaams & namaskarangal from me, from Rajasthan and Tamizh Nadu, India/ Bharath.
