40th ANNIV OF BOB MARLEY'S DEATH: A chat with historian Copeland Forbes & publisher Herman Hall

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 marked 40 years since the honorable Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, OM died of cancer in a hospital in Miami at age 36 years old.
Marley however lives on as a voice of the dispossessed, the palpable vibrancy, spirit of protest and moral zeal of his songs including "One Love," "Redemption Song" and "I Shot The Sheriff" enduring in a way few bodies of popular music have ever done. His rich anthems of peace and struggle, hope and discontent, still reverberate globally and especially in his native Jamaica, a small nation whose rich culture its most famous son popularized on an international stage.

To celebrate this milestone anniversary, radio host Wayne Hall from The Wayne Hall Show and journalist Tony 'ER Guru' Turner had an in depth conversation with reggae historian/artist manager Copeland Forbes, who worked with Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer and Everybody's Magazine Publisher Herman Hall, who attended Marley's state funeral in Jamaica in 1981 and who dedicated an entire publication to the funeral. Hall has written and published other articles and interviews with Marley.

While the main focus of this must watch interview is about Marley, the conversation also meanders into other important facts/details about Peter Tosh OM and Bunny Wailer OM, original members of the Wailers.
