A TRIBUTE TO BOB MARLEY - STEVIE WONDER - SUNSPLASH 1982

In 1982, Stevie appeared at the annual Reggae Sunsplash Festival in Jamaica. That year the festival paid tribute to Bob Marley who had died a year earlier. Stevie was joined on stage by the group Third World and Rita Marley to perform Masterblaster (Jammin') and Marley's Redemption Song. After their performance Stevie suggested that he write some material for the band's next album. The result was the hit single Try Jah Love and the socially aware, You're Playing Us Much Too Close.
