Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Taylor, manager of such acts as Martha and the Vandellas and most recently Soul II Soul, writes about the rise of reggae great Bob Marley (1945-81). After outlining the parallels between his and Marley's youths, Taylor details his experiences as Marley's manager from 1975 to 1981, including the late 1976 assassination attempt on the musician in which Taylor was seriously wounded. Though adding few insights into Marley's music, the author offers an interesting portrayal of Marley, describing him as an ironic figure: a devoted father with an entourage of women; a multi-millionaire who traveled on tour with only a duffel bag of belongings; and a musician who hoped to unite warring political factions into religious unity. He also provides an insider's view of the music business, including cutthroat financial dealings, political machinations, and the Mafia connection. Recommended for those interested in Bob Marley and the social dimension of popular music.?David Szatmary, Univ. of Washington, Seattle

Format:Taschenbuch
When taken simply as a book describing the shadiness of thefledgling Jamaican music industry "Marley and Me" is anundeniably fascinating read.
If you are unfamiliar with Jamaicanhistory, culture and politics and did not run in the circles described by the author, and haven't read a lot on the legal intricacies involving the Marley estates, it's hard to judge how much of what Don Taylor, who was undeniably close to the late, great lion, is true, how much is biased and how much is completely false.
What clued me into the fact that Mr. Taylor is probably glossing over or omitting a LOT of the back story or more sordid workings of his operation is his (extremely) brief mention of his 3-year bout with cocaine addiction. Anyone who spent 6 years trying to stave off the leeches and hangers-on surrounding Marley's camp would have to be seriously ( ) or a fool to ever mess with coke.
ANYWAY, the book is filled with really interesting tidbits of gossip, especially relating to Rita Marley and all the other women in the lion's life. END
Format:Taschenbuch
Marley's first mistake was to put his faith in Taylor. A classic tale of a manager's betrayal. The author's come off as a monster, even though he tries to build himself into someone more important even than Bob. Sadder than sad. Marley wrote a song about this guy called "Bad Card."
