BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS SPECIAL'REGGAE BEAT'BROADCASTS
WITH ROGER STEFFENS
Each year in May, near the anniversary of Bob Marley's passing,
I hosted specials devoted to Bob
and his work. There is almost no repetition of material during
these seven years, so that each is a unique document highlighting
great live concert excerpts, rare interviews, outspoken co-hosts,
and the latest discoveries among Wailers collectors. During February,
KCRW usually held its annual fund-raisers, but occassionally
I was able to program a special around the time of his birth
as well. Each of these deeply-probing broadcasts is listed below.
RB83 - 17 May 81 - the Sunday following Bob's passing; a most
emotional and raw tribute with rare singles and live cuts, two
hours long
RB 120 - 7 Feb 82 - a birthday special, two hours long, featuring
interviews with Rita Marley and rare music
[All of the following are four hour broadcasts]
RB 13 2 - 9 May 82 - a recreation of the events following Bob's
passing, including major excerpts from his funeral, with dozens
of songs from the Wailers and Bob's mother
RB184 - 8 May 83 - Tim Hauser of the Manhattan Transfer describes
giving Bob his first network TV exposure in 1975; Bob's last
U.S. interview, with Jay Strausser; Mutabaruka's in-studio tribute;
Zimbabwe concert; dozens of songs
RB223 - 5 Feb 84 - another birthday special, with Levar Burton,
including lots of dub versions of Bob's most famous songs; "60
Minutes - Australia" racist obit; Freddie McGregor's a capella
"Redemption Song"; lots of live excerpts
RB237 - 13 May 84 - with Malike Lee Whitney, co-author of "Bob
Marley, Reggae King of the World' as co-host; with Lee Perry,
Linton Kwesi Johnson and Barbara Paige. Lots of demos, spirituals,
and live material
RB277 - 17 Feb 85 - another birthday special, focusing on the
assassination attempt on Bob Marley's life in 1976, with Jeff
Walker, who filmed the "Smile Jamaica" concert two
nights after Bob was shot, and Bob's biographer Stephen Davis,
as co-hosts who recount the events leading up to the shooting,
and its aftermath. A riveting four hours, studded with very rare,
uncollected Marley singles and live concert excerpts
RB289 - 12 May 85 - Jeff Walker's unreleased Smile Jamaica documentary;
filmmaker Jo Menell's stunning story of how Bob's music stopped
a riot in Soweto; Hopi Indians report on Bob's effect on the
reservations; Nina Simone's live tribute to Bob called "You
Took My Teeth"; interview with Junior Braithwaite, the unknown
original lead singer of the Wailers; U.N. Peace Medal presentation,
and lots of rare music
RB 328 - 9 Feb 86 - Stephen Davis shares his final interview
tape with Bob from Boston in September 1980; Ziggy Marley discusses
Bob as a father; rare dub recordings and live concerts.
RB341 - 11 May 86 - Bob Marley and Jacob Miller interviewed on
the island of St. Maarten; Wailers band jams with Higgs, Mowatt,
Griffiths, Third World, etc.; Bob interviewed in Bahamas about
death; Bob live in Santa Cruz, San Francisco and Nashville
RB393 - 10 May 87 - Tyrone Downie was the eloquent co-host of
this final tribute, which includes the Wailers telling of their
favorite tracks with Bob (Al, Fams, Seeco, Junior, Wire and Carly
in what proved to be Carly's final interview before he was murdered);
Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Judy Mowatt, Jimmy Cliff sing "No
Woman No Cry"; Bob rehearsals and live shows; Peter Tosh
and Judy Mowatt duet on "One Love"; Tyrone serenades
the Havasupai Indians with Bob's songs on the bottom of the Grand
Canyon
