...Shining is the No. 1 song in U.S. clubs. Next month an all-star tribute to Marley will be held in Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica, featuring performers ranging from Sarah McLachlan to Busta Rhymes (it will air on TNT Dec. 19). And next month Bob Marley: Soul Rebel (Thunder's Mouth; 144 pages; $22.95), by former Billboard reporter Maureen Sheridan, will be released, detailing the stories behind Marley's songs.
