      They are definitely keeping his memory alive. It’s a wonderful thing they are doing with the scholarship programs and my husband purchased the children’s books for our grandchildren that Cedella adapted. The legacy continues through them and others!

      A tea with calming flavors and sold by the Marley family. Today, you can not find it anywhere ❗️

    I’m a songwriter/poet I wrote a tribute song in Bob Marley’s memory titled “Jah Made America Love Your Music” I took the chance and sent it to Tuff Gong I was surprised when I got a call from Rita Marley saying she loved my song she even asked permission to change the title to “ Jah Made The Universe Love Your Music” I agreed I was orphaned as a small girl then made it through 10 foster homes so when Rita called me from Jamaica I was so honored she asked if I could meet with her at her hotel in New Orleans I agreed she had a concert that night as we sat in her hotel room and talked about my song she then asked if I would like a pair of back stage passes for me and my husband I was excited, she instructed me to go two doors down to her manager’s room to pick them up I knocked on the door a man answered he said come in that he was expecting me I told him Rita sent me for the back stage passes, he was fully dressed, he said give me a few minutes as he entered the bathroom, yet when he came out the bathroom he was naked standing at full attention I was scared and confused I ran out his room straight back to Rita’s room I told her what had happened and she started laughing she then asked me was it long and skinny or short and fat? my heart broke in a million pieces after she returned home I could no longer contact her I was so depressed I couldn’t understand what did I do wrong I was surprised that Rita had shared my package of songs with Bob’s mother B she called me about my song “No Brother’s Blood” which Mother B. expressed interest in recording it, I broke down crying as I told Mother B. what happened she told me to stop crying it will be alright Rita wouldn’t answer my calls yet Mother B. sent me a demo of her singing my song I was so happy the heart break had eased up! my song “ No Brother’s Blood which is still on UA-cam written by “Tina Marie” Clark sung by Cedella Marley Booker to hear Mother B. Singing my song so beautifully gave me hope, yet she passed before she could record it so I made a video using the demo version she sent me although it’s been almost 15 years since Rita introduced that undeserved pain in my heart the pain still hurts I expressed this to every Marley trying to understand what did I do wrong Cedella even had my song/video on her page yet she or Ziggy wouldn’t talk to me These are not the hearts of Bob Marley I listen to No Woman No Cry and Mother B.’s song she sent me “Woman Divine” which describes me to a T I have recorded conversations with Mother B. Saying she knew my song could help stop the black on black murders I pondered if to share my horrible hurt once I saw the picture above I just want closure!

    I think it’s wonderful how all of his children have relationships with each other, they are aware of each other and they knew who their dad was! It really doesn’t matter how they got here the only thing that matters is that they are here and they have each other! I came from a slightly similar situation and some of my siblings embrace our relationship and some don’t! And that’s okay because of the situation! I have always had a profound interest in Bob Marley long before I really understood what was going on and now after the fact I love how he asked for his children…kept them close. I love Mrs. Rita for her strength, she was determined on so many levels, she was so much more than this world would ever give her credit for! My story I went searching for a father who did choose me at all but we do have a relationship now but I now only have one living parent and I choose me!❤ One Love

    His mother is a piece of work. How are you upset that this woman did not want to take care of her deceased husband’s the 7th side child that he had how are you upset that this man decided that he was going to take ownership of his wife’s child he was gonna claim that baby call that baby his and probably not even tell the little girl that he wasn’t her dad But you want his wife to take care of his 7 children that were made within their marriage. You don’t want them publicly claiming her as his child even though he himself publicly claimed her as his children and signed her birth certificate. But the second Rita didn’t want to acknowledge a baby that was born after the death of her husband meaning he had no idea about the child it’s a problem? Something is definitely wrong with that woman she she be grateful and proud that her son found a woman who accepted him flaws and all and did nothing but build his legacy and made it positive. That woman did not have to let his side children into her house. That woman did not have to let any child born after he passed away into her house around her children, because guess what his other children that were not from her could’ve all had a relationship together that excluded her they didn’t have to be at her house.

He said no. Thinking only of what.s best for him. So, everyone knows 2 wrongs do not make right, however, she proved she needed some love also. I am applaud her. And I have always said, "I do not approve the term "lady". Woman cuts it better.

      You WICKED PIRATES ALWAYS WANT TO BRING DOWN GOD'S MESSENGERS AND TEAR THEIR REPUTATION APART
      THIS IS WHAT GOOGLE HAD TO SAY.... READ A DAMN BOOK AND WATCH SOME REALDOCUMENTARY INTERVIEWS AND STOP TALKING CRAP🙄
      And it’s from similar unrest that the song “I Shot the Sheriff” was born from the artistic prowess of Jamaican songwriter and performer, Bob Marley. Let’s dive into the meaning of the meaningful track.
      Origins
      “I Shot the Sheriff” is a protest song written by Marley, who released the track in 1973 on the Bob Marley and the Wailers album, Burnin’.
      Of the song, Marley himself said, “I want to say I shot the police but the government would have made a fuss so I said ‘I shot the sheriff’ instead… but it’s the same idea: justice.”
      Feeling persecuted, Marley wrote the protest song about self-defense, meaning that the protagonist in the song saw the “Sheriff” aiming at him, so he shot first. But the gun violence wasn’t blind: he did not “shoot the deputy.” Meaning, that he was not indiscriminately firing at all people in uniform, just those looking to take his life.
      It’s certainly a touchy subject-especially today-but the meaning is born, as Marley says, out of a sense of justice and self-defense, not rage.
      Ice-T and Hypocrisy
      In 1992, as the controversial song “Cop Killer” by rapper Ice-T was becoming more and more famous, Ice-T’s supporters pointed to Marley’s song as evidence of prior popular releases touching on similar justice-minded subject matter.
      Marley’s song was often cited by Ice-T’s supporters, who claimed hypocrisy, saying there was not the same amount of outrage for the reggae track that dealt with the same subject matter as there was for the rap track, as rap and Hip-Hop had yet to take over as the main form of entertainment in 1992. (Now, though, rap is the predominant music and culture in many areas of the world, its trap percussion and beats have even entered country music, featured on likely and unlikely sources like Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof“).
      Birth Control Skepticism?
      In a twist of fate, Marley’s former girlfriend Esther Anderson claimed in 2012 that the lyrics, Sheriff John Brown always hated me / For what, I don’t know / Every time I plant a seed / He said, ‘Kill it before it grow,’ actually had to do with birth control and her use of the pill. And that Marley supposedly substituted the word “doctor” with sheriff.
      Cover Versions: Clapton and Warren G
      In 1974, U.K. guitar legend Eric Clapton recorded a cover of the song and included it on his 1974 LP, 461 Ocean Boulevard, giving a soft rock side to the reggae track.......

      @@siofra3819 Sharon and Stephanie are his. He adopted Sharon, and Stephanie was born to Rita while she was married to Bob, and Bob is listed as her father (no adoption required). Both Sharon and Stephanie grew up in Bob and Rita’s household with Cedella, Ziggy, and Stephen. They are not different, especially as they all share the same biological mother. As for the purported child that Bob had prior to meeting Rita, she may not be his daughter at all-especially if she was raised in a completely different household by a completely different mother and father. Family is much more than mere blood ties.
