1. West 57th (CBS) (13:32)
Broadcast date: 10-25-87
Host: Steve Kroft
A very interesting look at the life of Bob Marley. This
starts off with some pretty sad footage of Bob's funeral.
Beautifully shot in Jamaica, you get a good feel for the early
days in Trenchtown. Rex Nettleford (Jamaican scholar -
University of the West Indies), Neville Garrick (Album cover
artist), Alan "Skill" Cole (close friend) and Marley biographer
Stephen Davis offer valuable insight. This is another fine
one from West 57th.
2. (**Bonus**) Now It Can Be Told (5:00)
Broadcast Date 9-20-91
Host: Geraldo Rivera
This short piece features correspondent Krista Bradford
picking up where West 57th left off. The struggle by the
Marley family to lay claim to Bob Marley's estate. Nice
interview with Rita Marley and Island Records founder
Chris Blackwell. Probably as much as one would need to
know on this subject.
