Thank you, Mr Jaffe. It is refreshing to hear an historically accurate history of the early days of Bob & The Wailers and Island records, and of Jamaica itself. You were there! I started seriously studying Jamaican history and culture and reggae music in 1973 after buying Catch A Fire and seeing Harder They Come. It changed my life. My sincere thanks to you for your contribution to the evolution and history of The Wailers music (and your wonderful harmonica on Rebel Music!)
Thanks for presenting Mr. Jaffe here! Very enlightening! He is very special and we should cherish such rich memory he is sharing with us. Blessings to both of you.
I had a golden opportunity to see Bob Marley perform Live at Apollo Theatre in Harlem when I was young. I so wish those were the times of selfies and social media. Never took a single photo. 🙃Anyway, also I hate, HATE that good people like Bob Marley who would make this world a much better place happen to die too soon while some scum of the earth who live to destroy it seem to live forever. It's so unfair. RIP Bob Marley. Rest in power, sir. ✊
Interesting times I remember meeting Mr Marley at my father's house in the countryside as a kid. He was looking land to buy in the West around Negril area. He talked for hours with my father and mother I remember him like it was yesterday. A great Jamaican and a nice person.

Great interview! I like that you let your guests speak and not cut them off, allow them to finish. I have seen a lot of interviews where the host don’t allow their guest to finish speaking, you are awesome!
I was born 1964 in Jamaica. This guy is spot on with the political scene in Jamaica during the 70’s. In addition I still remember the rise of rastafarians. Parents were afraid of rastafarian movements as they did not understand it.
Lee Jaffe was more than a photographer! He was a consummate harmonica player and producer! He actually played his harmonica solo on the original Rebel Music song on Bob Marley's Natty Dread album and also produced Peter Tosh's Legalise It album! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!!
Really a fantastic interview with a lot of insight about the huge significance of Bob Marley and the Wailers contributions- and not only to music- but with amazing unequaled music as the vehicle. ❤
Acquired 'Lee Jaffe', latest publication a few weeks ago, not read as yet due to vast array of books I've acquired over the past year, looking forward to reading it...Had there been no indentured slavery within Jamaica/Caribbean who knows what the music industry would be like within Jamaica & the Caribbean...Interesting interview real history...
This is very interesting- real life on the spot stories about Bob Marley! Always great to hear from Men’s perspective HOWEVER From a Woman’s point of view, I can understand why Rita moved out with her children. #LoveSign #DrugsNoWay
Regarding the use of images by fascist and totalitarian governments. Don’t forget North Korea. They use art to the nth degree there in their manipulation of the actual realities.
I had italo scanga for a teacher when I went to Tyler school of art in Philadelphia for sculpture & I wouldn't call him a great teacher. His conceptual art was boring !!
Can we stay away from aesthetics & focus on substance? The substance here is the history & the man telling it , isn’t it ? It is remarkable how some simply judge without embracing differences.
@ I’ve never seen glasses with this much substance before. But in seriousness: have a sense of humor! I am sure Lee Jaffe chuckles at comments like these.
I am so glad to hear someone who was there talking about Bod. Thank you, brethren. AFRICA UNITY

Awesome.
I met Lee a couple of times in NY, and he's a real humble individual who loves Reggae music and the experience of the music.
Jah Bless Brother. Thanks for your contribution to such a phenomenal time. RASTAFARI
A beautiful, intellectual, cultural, political, and historical conversation.
Indeed. Thank you for watching the show!

Thanks Lee
I remember Jaffe recalling when Bobs dreads were cut off because the chemo , He asked Bob if he was going for the rudeboy look.. Funny guy.
What do you call a RASTA with glasses? Rasta4eye🤓
Hahahaha
The question about double meaning in Catch a Fire was interesting. I actually find double or sometimes triple meaning in a lot of his songs. Lol
There is no world without Wailers
very good

We are not in vain
People from 193 countries repeated Legalize IT... By Peter TOSH
I had italo scanga for a teacher when I went to Tyler school of art in Philadelphia for sculpture & I wouldn't call him a great teacher. His conceptual art was boring !!
Historian
I am alive
And yet you all killed him?
You don't know what is the trend now!!!
Mind your own business...
Man, get another glasses...😂
But then how will people know he‘s an artist?
Who are you to dictate? I guess a very sad and pathetic person
Can we stay away from aesthetics & focus on substance? The substance here is the history & the man telling it , isn’t it ? It is remarkable how some simply judge without embracing differences.
@@ElimanGibba Indeed, and important and compelling story. 100 percent. Please be kind.
