you can't take all the propaganda you see in the press to heart...
marley was already lead singer of the wailers long before chris blackwell...go ask joe higgs, coxone dodd and lee "scratch" perry...
well i was in jamaica in the ghetto areas in the 70's & early 80's and i know for a fact that the grassroot ghetto jamaican had mad love for bob marley...plus my mon knew and respected him...suh babylonia propaganda & tricknology naw cloud I mind...

yes chris b. had his own reasons for putting bob marley up front...and bob had his own reasons for trying to get greater exposure for his works...chris b. probably figured marley was the more marketable character on an internationa level---perhaps he figured him being lightskinned would help...he is a businessman trying to sell records & make money...
the time had come regardless for the trinity of bob, peter & bunny to strengthen the trod within each man's own framework...peter even said the time for backing up bob for most of the wailers tracks---as was always the case with the wailers---had come to an end...give thanks because i love peter's solo works....as well as his works when leading on the wailers tracks...
but in my opinion bob was undeniably charged with something...he was just carrying the fire...dem love him inna africa...(go figure)

i already addressed the colorism thing...but i will not attribute everything to color...that would be ridiculous;
