As a result, word about Bob Marley spread rapidly around the globe. That song became a big hit for Clapton, and introduced many people to reggae music in general, and Marley in particular. By this time Marley was on his way to becoming a major international star. The audience is really into this song, and Marley is now accompanied by a large number of musicians and backup singers.
Bob Marley was not only a major artist, but he was also a charismatic political and social activist. A pan-Africanist, Marley injected into his songs a commitment to social justice and an anti-colonial fervor. Today Marley is widely admired for his commitment to peace and social justice. In fact, he is a hero to native communities worldwide, including aboriginals in Australia, native Americans in the U. Marley was also an outspoken advocate of the legalization of marijuana, which apparently occupies a special place in Rastafarian philosophy and religious practice.
This led to some difficulties with the law in both Jamaica and Great Britain. His doctors advised that he have the toe amputated; however, Marley felt that this would be inconsistent with his Rastafarian beliefs. As a result, physicians removed the nail and adjacent tissue. For a while, this seemed to solve the problem, and Marley continued touring. He was in the middle of a U. At this time, Marley traveled to a German clinic where he underwent a new-age treatment that involved avoidance of certain foods, removal of teeth containing metal fillings, and nutritional supplements.
In any case, it was ineffective for Marley, the melanoma metastasized, and Bob Marley died in May at the age of This was a devastating loss to the music community. Reggae music had lost its biggest star. T-shirts, posters and other memorabilia also became best-selling items.
Johnny Nash, Jr. He was born in Houston in , and began a pop singing career in the s. Nash had modest success in the music business, and he split his time between singing and acting. He was apparently a very talented actor, winning an award for his role in the movie Take a Giant Step. One of their first signings to that label was a family singing group consisting of four brothers between the ages of 9 and 16, called The Cowsills.
That group would later gain fame after signing with another record company. In , Johnny Nash traveled to Jamaica, where his girlfriend had family ties. There a friend introduced him to the group Bob Marley and the Wailing Wailers.
Nash signed them to a record contract with his company JAD Records. However, Nash was very taken with the reggae sound. When I first heard this song, I assumed that the American singer Johnny Nash was simply ripping off the reggae sound.
As it turns out, I was completely off base. Nash had deep roots with this music. Nash has a beautiful high tenor voice which he uses to great effect in this song. The production values are really fine, making this a most enjoyable version of this Bob Marley classic. However, in the 60s and 70s, Johnny Nash did have an interesting career as a singer, songwriter and producer. He helped to bring reggae music into the popular domain, and he worked closely with Bob Marley at a time before Marley had achieved worldwide superstar status.
So here we will briefly summarize the history of the Dead. The Grateful Dead were an iconic Bay Area band. The original name of the group was The Warlocks, but the band changed its name when they discovered that an East Coast group had adopted the same moniker. Below is a photo of the Grateful Dead from More or less immediately after they adopted their name the Grateful Dead in December, , the group began performing at psychedelic fairs on the West Coast.
The Dead were notable residents of the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco, until the atmosphere in that neighborhood became less laid back and more of a hassle, at which time the group members relocated to Marin County.
Along the way, the Dead participated in both the Monterey Pop Festival in and Woodstock in For most bands, the litmus test of success was to produce single records that cracked the Billboard Top 40 pop charts.
Over their long history, the Grateful Dead only ever had a single song make it into the top Garcia was also an excellent banjo and steel guitar player, and from time to time in his early career moonlighted on those instruments with various West Coast folk and bluegrass combos.
However, Jerry was quick to point out that he was merely one member of the Dead ensemble. The group is believed to have given more than 2, concerts — or perhaps more precisely, jam sessions. The Dead generally did not prepare a set list for any given concert, preferring instead to pick songs on the spot from a playlist that usually contained about songs.
During their life span, the Grateful Dead played over different songs at their various performances. Perhaps the most unique feature of the Grateful Dead was their relationship to their fans, or Deadheads.
It was not unusual for Deadheads to follow the band on concerts from town to town — since each concert was a unique live jam, Deadheads would have a different experience in each venue.
Whereas most bands take extreme measures to prevent fans from filming their concerts, the Dead had exactly the opposite impulse: they actively welcomed Deadheads taping their shows.
Deadheads were an exceptionally eclectic lot, ranging from 60s-era hippies to professional athletes, from panhandlers to distinguished scientists. Jerry Garcia transitions from the previous tune, and immediately begins noodling around on his guitar.
It soon becomes clear that we are in for an extended Dead instrumental jam. After about a minute, Garcia breaks into the beginning guitar lick for Stir It Up. The band oh, so gradually shifts into a mixture of rockabilly and reggae, while the audience responds with great enthusiasm once they recognize the tune. He wanders around and about on guitar, while Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Bruce Hornsby chime in on rhythm guitar, bass and piano, respectively. At the end, the tune simply fades away.
The terrible quality of the video also helps to set the atmosphere, as it appears that the concert is taking place in an almost impenetrable fog. However, I find it mesmerizing, a great example of a Grateful Dead live jam, and a tangible reminder of how much we are missing now that Jerry Garcia is no longer with us.
