Reviews for Listen to Bob Marley: The Man, the Music, the Revolution

Marley was theThird World s first pop superstar. He was the man who introduced the world to the mystic power ofreggae. He was a true rocker at heart, and as a songwriter, he brought the lyrical force ofBob Dylan, the personal charisma ofJohn Lennon, and the essential vocal stylings ofSmokey Robinsoninto one voice.
