New Bob Marley Song Featuring Eric Clapton To Be Released This November
Previously unknown recordings by reggae legend Bob Marley were found in 2004 by his son, Ziggy, on a tape in the family’s archives. The tape is believed to have been recorded in Miami, Florida in 1979. An acoustic demo, entitled “Slogan,†has been overdubbed with additional instrumentation to complete it. It features Eric Clapton on guitar. This method was used successfully by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in the late 1990s to transform John Lennon’s demos of “Free As A Bird†and “Real Love†into complete Beatles songs.
