"There's some good stuff in this book" Greg Tate Columnist The Village Voice "The sound of the world, the Universe, the Cosmos lives in the voices of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Marcus Garvey. They vocalized what we could not, but we understood and we understand. They were good to us for so long and we love and respect their gift for mankind: the voices of human kindness overflowing, powerfully important." Roberta Flack Foreword Bob Marley & Peter Tosh GET UP! STAND UP! Diary of a Reggaeophile "Author Cumbo has done a remarkable job chronicling Reggae's royalty and offers brilliantly written text and provocative photos that ignite her passion for this music. This will become a reference book on the subject of reggae ." Audrey J. Bernard New York Beacon **************************
