Bob Marley & The Wailers 1967-1972, Soul Revolution

"Bob Marley is one of the most influential popular musicians of the 20th century. From the sun-scorched streets of Trench Town, a Kingston ghetto, to the world's biggest stadiums, he has become, since his death at just 36, the global icon of reggae, Rastafari culture and a true global rockstar with a timeless aura. This discography was written by the greatest specialists in Marley and Jamaican music: Roger Steffens, Bruno Blum and Leroy Jodie Pierson. It follows the Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) between 1967 and 1972, before their signing to Island Records and international recognition. These dark years, full of misery and failure, were also the years of collaboration with legendary producers Leslie Kong and Lee "Scratch" Perry. We discover the incredible perseverance and resilience of these young rebels, whose music gradually became imbued with all the social and cultural phenomena sweeping Jamaica in the late 1960s (racism, decolonization, exclusion, development of the Rastafari mystical movement). This book not only retraces a legendary and little-known career, but also, through a study of the Wailers' songs, gives an account of the emergence of a new style of music, derived from ska, soul and funk, which was to conquer the world: reggae. 280 pages book,in French.Augustin Bondoux & Patrick Frmeaux"
