But controversy is not new to Marley; it was a permanent feature in his life, and family members and former associates locked horns first over his intestate estate, and later over royalties and rights on unreleased records.
One surprising thing is that all of Marley's children are a united lot, and operate under the auspices of Ghetto Youth International, a record label that was established in 1989 by Steve and Ziggy.
It is hoped that Marley will be immortalised on the big screen before the next millennium, as his songs have been billed as part of the music that defined this century.

Of course her three children with Rohan, Zion, Selah and the new baby, ensure that she will always be connected to the legend of Bob Marley in some way, but one cannot but take note of the negative symbolism of Lauryn suddenly shearing off her curly locks.
After listening to and watching her set in Miami, it was clear that Lauryn is a young and idealistic woman trying to come to grips with the duplicity that exists in the music world, and the duplicity that was at least momentarily, part of her personal life.
At the time of writing, Rohan Marley has long since rejoined Lauryn and has also trimmed off the dreadlocks that helped make him a celebrity on the University of Miami college football team.

Except this is even odder: Rohan Marley, son of Lion of Zion Bob, is not an actor - although he’s recently started taking acting lessons.
The reason is that he is now front-runner to take the lead role in Warners’ Bob Marley biopic, despite the fact that the closest he has come to acting is playing defence for the University of Miami Hurricanes.
Hill has acted before - she was in Sister Act 2, but you probably don’t remember - and has been talked of in these columns as a possible co-star for Will Smith in the Star Is Born remake, not to mention a big-screen member of Charley’s Angels.
