Family Man and Bob Marley Backstage San Diego 1979 From “My Cup” with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry in 1970 through the final sessions of the Wailers in 1980, his influence runs deep. He brought melody into bass, reshaping the sound of reggae and helping carry it to a global audience. A modest man, but his work will live on forever.
