Comment:

Beyond his wife, Rita, three women occupied center stage in Bob Marley's musical saga. Cedella Marley Booker, a dynamo in a do-rag whose alto voice booms out with a matriarch's authority, sings "Brown Girl in the Ring," a Jamaican folk song her son Bob probably first heard hanging on her apron strings. And two members of Marley's post-Wailer backup vocal group, the I-Threes, reach into the Wailers' back pages for inspiration: Marcia Griffiths warily treads the tightrope between hope and desperation in "Trenchtown Rock," while Judy Mowatt's "Down in the Valley" thrusts a defiant fist in the face of her people's longtime oppressors, sounding the liberation siren. And although we've singled out the women for special recognition, there are still some surprises that await you.
