 Island Records: The Life of Bob Marley   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1959 Chris Blackwell had founded Island Records (so named in tribute to Alec Waugh's 1956 novel, Island in the Sun) in Jamaica, producing his records himself.
Blackwell's releases were aimed at Britain's Jamaican immigrant community: ironically, one of the first records he put out was a tune from Leslie Kong, "Judge Not" by Robert Marley: the surname was misspelled as 'Morley' on the British release.
So when he entered the Jamaican record business in 1959, he made a point of investigating the Rastas' ideological and social influences on ska, rock steady and reggae, believing the heroic, principled passivity of the sect to be the source of many of the music's more appealing permutations.
