Bob Marley is still greatly missed. He died in 1981 at the age of 36 from melanoma. He had reached international fame and had arguably produced some of the most inspirational and original music of the century. At the height of his power he apparently couldn't imagine himself being sick and sadly did nothing about his melanoma for three years until it caught up with him. This DVD is a fine documentary about a great artist whose music lives on from generation to generation. My son, who is 11, loves Bob Marley, as do all of his friends. The documentary would have been better if it contained more performance footage of complete songs instead of relatively quick cuts as it moves on to more historical material. But it is well worth owning for anyone who loves Marley and his brilliant music.

This is a good bio of Bob Marley but it still lacks real insight into his life and career...it doesn't break any new ground and the story is told better by Bob himself on the video "Time Will Tell" and by people who knew him on "Caribbean Nights: The Bob Marley Story" Hopefully, these will get re-issued on DVD as I think they are far superior. As one previous reviewer noted, there is virtually no Bunny and no Tosh. I did find the interviews with the former CIA Agent interesting. All in all, not bad but not the best.

It starts out really good then peters out midway on. Why is it that whenever Bob is about to go in depth about a particular subject, the filmmakers cut to him performing? How could they not address the Wailers break up? I mean they literally ignore it. Isn't the break up as significant as them getting together in the first place? Did Marley's music regress, progress or stagnate after Bunny and Peter left? How did Bob feel about Bunny and Tosh leaving? And what happened to Bunny anyway? You see him early on and then you don't see him again. Since he's the only one alive of the three, doesn't his opinion have more weight than most. All I'm saying is the audience would have gotten an even better understanding of Marley with more Bunny and more Tosh.

THIS VIDEO NOT ONLY IS EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE, BUT IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY INSPIRATIONAL. ONE LOVE.

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST BOB DVD,VIDEO I HAVE SEEN,AND IF YOU ARE A FAN OR JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE GREAT REGGAE KING THIS IS THE PURCHASE TO MAKE. NOT A LOT OF MUSIC VIDEO CLIPS,BUT YOU GET TO HEAR BOB TALK ABOUT LIFE,BUT MOST OF ALL WHAT PEOPLE MEANT TO HIM. REBEL MUSIC IS THE TRUE STORY OF THE MAN I CALL MY HERO,ROBERT NESTA MARLEY.
"ONE LOVE"
