Left Bob Marley in the San Diego Sports Arena dressing room on November 24, 1979, during the "Survivial" tour when my radio partner Hank Holmes and I were traveling with him for a couple of unforgettable weeks. This shot has been used on the Soul Almighty cd-rom cover, and on numerous twelve-inches of "What Goes Around Comes Around," as well as on t-shirts, posters and other promotional items. It was one of the only times during an hour-long press conference that I saw him smile that broadly. The same shot, from a different angle, appears in the book I did with photographer Bruce Talamon Bob Marley:Spirit Dancer on the bottom right of page 76. |
