Description (200 words) In this photograhic tribute to Bob Marley, close friend and celebrated photographer Dennis Morris, pays tribute to an artist and performer who became a spiritual avatar to millions. Morris photographed Marley at almost every point in his career and the resulting images are intimate shots that could only have been taken by a trusted friend, capturing the essence of the man and his many moods. Morris’s own recollections of Marley accompany the images, along with quotations from Marley that reveal his thoughts on life, politics and being black in a white man’s world. Together the text and images show a hitherto unseen Bob Marley, offering insights into his life on the road, in the studio, onstage and at home in Jamaica with his family. The book also has a complete discography of Marley recordings.
