‘One Love’ Director Shares: The Must-Hear Bob Marley Song for New Fans
During our conversation with Reinaldo Marcus Green (director of Bob Marley – One Love), he shared his thoughts on finding the right person to play Bob…and we talked about the ONE song you’d play for someone who’s never heard his music.
(RMG) Finding our Bob Marley was the biggest piece of our puzzle. Took us over a year to find Kingsley. Finally, once his tape arrived, we knew we had a chance. We had a fighting chance that we found someone that could embody the spirit of Bob Marley. And that’s what we were looking for. You’re never gonna find Bob. He’s one of one. But you’re looking for someone that had enough attributes that can…carry his spirit, carry his legacy and Kingsley did it brilliantly.
(Jim O’Brien) So somebody comes up to you and they’ve never heard Bob Marley. They know who he is, but they’ve never heard a Bob Marley song. What’s the one song you have them listen to?
(RMG) Man. Man. I mean, I always go with my favorite song, which is Redemption. song, but you know, there’s so many songs that are so important to the legacy of Bob and yeah, but redemption song has it has has quite an impact for me and it’s a slower jam of his but it’s an emotional one. I mean, I think it bears a lot of weight and something that I think, you know, I don’t know, shine shines a little bit of light on to who Bob is and what he sang for.
Bob Marley – One Love
Out today (Tuesday) on Digital, One Love is more than just a tribute film. It’s a great reminder (and lesson) in the power of Bob Marley’s music. The entire movie resonated with a sincere vibe that will make you admire/respect the magic that was Bob Marley.
