Sounds of Marley — Balford Henry’s Top 10
ONE Love is my favourite among Bob Marley and The Wailers’ songs because it was such a simple, engaging singalong around which people of any colour, race or class could unite.
However, there is a great deal of respect for War, despite it not being an original but an excerpt of an earnest plea for justice from Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I on June 30, 1936 at the League of Nations in Switzerland on behalf of his people.
