Widow of Bob and mother of Ziggy, Rita Marley would merit mention in reggae history even had she not recorded, too. Here she tells of growing up poor in Jamaica, loving the ambitious Marley, and how her life changed when he became pop music's first Third World superstar, only to die at 36. Alfarita Constantia Anderson met Bob Marley by waiting for him on the way from Jamaica's legendary Studio One. He introduced her to Rastafarianism, and when she saw the stigmata on Haile Selassie's hand during the Ethiopian emperor's visit to Jamaica, she "went home screaming and cheering." Many might call her relationship with Marley troubled, what with its physical confrontations early on and outside affairs and offspring later, but Rita says she decided to "be strong, stand up and fight," despite his frequent and open infidelity.

Eventually, "as long as [she] was respected [and] given whatever [she] needed financially," she "let him be." Now business manager of Marley's legacy, Rita is a strong woman whose angle on him is fresh and authoritative.
