'Smile Jamaica' concert:Reluctant Bob was late, but still

. . . successfulReggae singer Bob Marley; .and the Third World

band attracted a huge' audience at the National» Heroes Park. Kingston. Sunday to see their free

public concert ' The-Smile Jamaica Concert'

The audience was not exactlysmiling for the two hoursbetween 5 Ofr p.rn , whenthe show was scheduled tostart, and 7 00 p m . whenit began.

The long delay was apparentlycaused by the reluctance ofMarley to appear on theshow after being shot m thedrm on Friday night AfterComedian Prince Edwardsand the Third World bandperformed there was a further delay of nearly an hourfor Bob to arrive

M. C. Elaine Wint asked theaudience to pray that Bobwould come. The prayerwas answered half an hourafter the request, when she

announced that Bob hadfinally decided to appear,after much persuasion, andwould be there in another35 minutes.

Bob arrived under 35 minutesOwning to the fear of anyfurther incidents, the stagewas cleared, except for presspeople

SuperbThe Reggae star gave a superb

performance and did twelvetunes including the hit from

""His million selling album"War

Not seriously affected by theshot Bob danced and sangfor more than 45 minuteshe said he would performRita Marley also performed

Before opening his show, hesaid that he had alwayswanted to do the free showand he did not wish any pol-

itics to become involvedPrime Minister MichaelManley who watched theshow, rushed onstage shortlyafter Bobs arrival to shakehis hand then went back tohis seat

Bob did tunes like "So JahSey and for several minuteskept repeating the lines' Puss and Dog can livetogether so why can't wemy brother" He did "Rastaman Chant' obviously thefavourite with the large

crowd, "Crazy Baldheads',"Johnny was a good man ,"Roadblock" and Keep onMoving'.

The Third World band backed Bob throughout his performance and gave a splendid pefformance, soundingjust as good as Bobs backup band. The Wallers

A vital confident kid with anunusual way of playing thepiano he grew up to beGeorge Gershwin who, some30 years later, wrote the classic folk opera, "Porgy andBess "

RCA brought "Porgy," Rayand Cleo together this yearwith producer-impresarioNorman Granz and con-ductor-arranger FrankDeVol to produce to two-record album that has torank among the greatest ofrecent years

The music — Summer time,'"Bess, You Is My WomanNow,' 'It Ain't Necessarilyso ' '̂1 Got Plenty of Nuttin — is just as vivid andmoving as it was back in the1930s when Gershwin wroteit not long before his death

Charles, master of that greatest instrument, the voice,superb as Porey.

Cleo Lame has incredjblerange so that she sometimescan come across like theold-time jazz, singer, BessieSmith, and other tunes likeone of those big ladies whosing high notes in the opera.

In this album she is truly Bess-Copley.
