S4 Ep147: Rocktober: The Bob Marley Assassination Attempt
Once Upon A Crime | True Crime10/14/19 • 44 min
Bob Marley went from singing R&B harmonies in Trenchtown, Kingston, Jamaica to becoming a pioneer of reggae music, bringing his own blend of reggae, rock and ska music to a global audience. But as a popular figure in Jamaica, he was unwillingly thrust into the country’s political strife. The situation became so dangerous for Marley that on December 3, 1976, he became a target of assassins. Resources: Chris Salewicz, Bob Marley: The Untold Story, (New York: Faber and Faber), 2010.
