Summary:  A history of one of the most influential musicians of all time, told in the words of those who knew him best. Roger Steffens toured with the Wailers in the 1970s and was closely acquainted with Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh and the rest of the band members. He interviewed more than seventy-five friends, business managers, relatives and confidants. He weaves this rich testimony into a definitive telling of the life of the reggae king - the inside account of how a boy from the slums of Kingston, Jamaica, became a cultural icon and inspiration to millions around the world. Readers see the intense bonds of teenage friendship among Peter, Bunny and Bob, the vibrant early sessions with the original Wailers (as witnessed by members Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso and Cherry Green) and the tumultuous relationships with Rita Marley and Cindy Breakspeare. So Much Things to Say explores major controversies, examining who actually ordered the shooting attack on Hope Road, scrutinizing claims of CIA involvement and investigating why Marley's fatal cancer wasn't diagnosed sooner. An invaluable, transformative slice of music history: the life of the legendary performer who brought reggae to the international stage.
