“I think it came out amazing,” Marley’s daughter Cedella told Billboard. “We went through this six-month process with Octave and Theo going through it page by page, us looking at stuff and approving it all. When I watch it, it still gives me goosebumps.”
The song was on Bob Marley’s final studio album, “Uprising,” which was released in 1980.
He passed away from cancer at age 36 in 1981.
