...marriage made in heaven, or at least in the misty regions high over Dodger Stadium and the Hollywood TV studios. Husband Steve Garvey, 31, was the All-Star first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, a player noted for his clean-living dedication to baseball and his zealous devotion to good causes.

The songs on this album emphasize a historical perspective of Marley's battle against Babylon. The album cover features a quote attributed to Marcus Garvey, the late Jamaican black leader: "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots."
