Bob Marley -The Last Known Interview (Directed By Chuck McNeil) (1981)
Published 2018-12-02
After the Wailers disbanded in 1974,[7] Marley pursued a solo career upon his relocation to England that culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977, which established his worldwide reputation and elevated his status as one of the world's best-selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million records.[8][9] Exodus stayed on the British album charts for 56 consecutive weeks. It included four UK hit singles: "Exodus", "Waiting in Vain", "Jamming", and "One Love". In 1978, he released the album Kaya, which included the hit singles "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul". The greatest hits album, Legend, was released in 1984, three years after Marley died. It subsequently became the best-selling reggae album of all time.
Diagnosed with acral lentiginous melanoma in 1977, Marley died on 11 May 1981 in Miami at age 36. He was a committed Rastafari who infused his music with a sense of spirituality.[10]:242[11] He is credited with popularizing reggae music around the world and served as a symbol of Jamaican culture and identity. Marley has also evolved into a global symbol and has inspired a significant merchandise industry.

I love how Bob Marley allowed everyone in his group to speak. When the question was asked if they believe there is a black leader I said yeah Bob is. The discussions between these great men was amazing I wish people talk like this today and light the fire under the people to fight against Babylon and help fix the problems.

He changed my life forever!!! 30 years ago! Much love Bob!

Survival was released in 1979, they're talking about it like the release was very very recent not two years ago, this is probably in the late late late 70s late 79 fall of 79 maybe but that in the fact that he is nowhere near death at this point. This man's music grabbed my heart and held it in a chokehold the minute I heard it

It was clear from this video that Bob Marley was ill ! He was visibly tired, and despite his undiluted love for music, he hadn't expected the scrutiny that came with stardom! I am very moved by his appearance and mood here! I am even deeply saddened that Earl Wire Lindo , Carlton Barrett, Tyrone Downie and art director Neville Garrick who are all in this video have also passed away! The End of an Era!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

Ina way I’m happy these interviewers asked these type at the question but at the same time they are so green to what they are asking and it can come off a bit awkward it seems .just based off how bob and everyone responds but man... Bob Marley is brilliant was brilliant and I’m so happy I found this video and that I was able to watch it ❤️🙌🏻

This cannot be 1981 impossible Bob was locked away in hospital in Germany very sick. May 11 1981 passed away was there for 8 months prior. Released just a few days before passing.

Bob's middle name Nesta translated is "wise messenger." If ever there was someone that name was made for, it's him.
