内容简介
In 1976, while on assignment in Jamaica for Time
magazine, David Burnett photographed Bob Marley for the first time,
and Burnett became so entranced by Marley’s charisma that he
continued to document the reggae king throughout his groundbreaking
European “Exodus” tour. Burnett’s vision, coupled with Marley’s
larger-than-life charisma, resulted in an amazing collection of
images, only a handful of which appeared in the Time
article. The other photos — more than 200 in all — appear for the
first time in Soul Rebel. This stunning visual biography offers a
rare look at Marley’s personal life in Jamaica, as well as the
exodus from his home country that culminated in his tragic death in
1981. Though it focused on Marley, Burnett’s work also canvassed a
wide array of up-and-coming reggae talents, providing striking
early looks at Peter Tosh, Lee Scratch Perry, Burning Spear, and
Ras Michael. Compelling and incomparably candid, Soul Rebel
is a remarkable testament to the legacy of a legend.
