Bob Marley Interview with Earl Chin from (Rockers TV)/Cut version - September 2, 1980

It's almost the end of 2022. Because I have future plans in 2023 and will work on upcoming projects for the Reggae community and Bob's legacy.

I do this since 2015-17 when I was 17-19 years old. And look so much growth I've gotten during my "spirtual journey" and
my passion to research alot of these historical stuff in the archives. And spreading the good sources with support from collectors, fans and historians who I know over the years.

In fact I was planning to share this footage earlier in the month of September.
But during the technical problems with my phone it got postponed.

Here's an amazing quality version of Bob's moment at the Essex House (Manhattan, New York) and his last interview with
Earl Chin from Rockers TV.

This was originally filmed on September 2, 1980. Before the first leg in the US got started in Boston at the (Hynes Auditorium) on the "15th" day of September, what Bob explained to Earl, when he asked him that question. And Bob was doing an accoustic version of "Redemption Song" with so many takes.

Unfortunately, It didn't got the part where Bob was going to greet "Ken Williams" before they were sparring (boxing) together at the Essex House. Alot of laughter and jokes were made by various friends of Bob. Because this is an cut version from that footage.

I will upload a snippet of them together.


The part where the camera crew was making a blooper of Bob was not shown in this clip. I share a link that you can watch that scene where Bob had his "headphone" on while playing "Redemption Song" on a different take.

And Bob got interviewed by Earl by the second time.
Because we've seen that already. Later he played on his accoustic guitar and performed a very short portion of his unreleased song "Pray For Me" and later the requested song by Earl named
"Coming In From The Cold" from his "Uprising" album. And that same portion was ever used for the
"Time Will Tell" documantary in 1992.

Featuring: Alvin Seeco Patterson,
Dessie Smith, Copeland Forbes, Earl "Chinna Smith, Junior Marvin, Tyrone Downie, Cindy Breakspeare, Ken Williams and Julia Anderson (Lobby of the Essex Hotel).

This is dedicated to all the Reggae fans of all around the world.

Special thanks to Earl Chin for interviewing The Gong. Rastafari.
