THREE LITTLE BIRDS

 
         BOB MARLEY'S THREE LITTLE BIRDS IN THE STUDIO

Marcia Griffiths ~ When we went to different places in Europe and I saw the multitude of people that came out to see this man, Bob Marley, I prayed every time I saw this multitude. I always asked God that if it is even a handful of these people will receive the message and hear the word and wouldn’t fall on deaf ears, the message that he was delivering to the people. I knew then that Bob was truly a messenger, through the medium of reggae music.

Judy Mowatt ~ I had gotten to realize, you know reading my Bibles, that this man was really Joseph in his second advent. Joseph who his brothers had sold into Egypt. It was Joseph who had redeemed his brothers, who would have starved to death because of the famine in Egypt and not only his brothers but for the world in that time and I saw in the man in this time that he came not only in this time with the physical corn to feed his people but he came with the spiritual corn which was the message that transcended to the four corners of the world.

Rita Marley ~Bob was born rich, that was his quality. His richness was on the spiritual level, the gift of God. The inspiration that he had to give was His glory.

RARE PHOTOGRAPH OF TUFF GONG



This image represent a small segment of a much larger photograph taken around a table in Nana Rita's garden at 56 Hope Road on the night of February 6th, 1979.

It was in celebration of Robert Nesta Earthday and it represent probably the only image of Tuff Gong cutting such a cake.

This photograph was printed the next day on the front page of the defunct Jamaican newspaper, The Daily News, and carried a caption along with my name credit attached.

This photograph is copyrighted to I and as such, the complete photograph will be featured in the book Portrait of a Legend and other Folks.

FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER

Mr. Donald,
Do what is best for your project 'Portrait of a Legend and Other Folks'.
I know Jonas stated that not all the questions he previously sent were answered, however, maybe it is in everyone's best interest for you to proceed without Mom as I cannot guarantee a response on the date mentioned as this is not a settlement offer Mr. Donald but a negotiation that has taken some time.
We wish you all the best with your project 'Portrait of a Legend and Other Folks" and look forward to receiving a copy!
(Maybe Mom could write the forward or something like that..up to you..I think it would be nice).

One Love & Bless Always
