Cedella Booker at Africa Unite

This is a touching moment that I thought Bob Marley fans would appreciate. Bob Marley's mother, Cedella Booker reads a poem that she wrote for her son's 60th birthday at the Africa Unite concert in Ethiopia.



Cedella passed away on April 8th at the age of 81. She wrote two biographies of her son and recorded two albums. According to Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding, "She was a star in her own right. Her life was one of hardship, struggle and eventual fulfillment and, through it all, she exuded hope, strength and confidence."
