Bob Marley
Reggae singer Judy Mowatt, a member of the original I Threes alongside Marcia Griffiths and Rita Marley, still has vivid memories of the final concert she ever did alongside Bob Marley and the Wailers, over 41 years ago.
“On the last tour, in 1980, we were in the US, Danny Sims was the manager, and the first concert was supposed to be Pittsburgh. We spent the night in New York and the next morning, Bob Marley was walking – Bob was a fanatic when it comes to exercising, he knows that he has to keep his body in physically peak conditions, vitamins and eating right – he was heavy on that. He and Allan Cole went to walk in the morning because everyone would drive up from Pittsburgh for the concert, and he collapsed in Central Park,” Mowatt reminisced.
