Re: جدل حول Buffalo Soldier لبوب مارلى (Re: حيدر حسن ميرغني)

Quote: What everyone here is missing is that this song was NOT WRITTEN BY BOB MARLEY. The song was written by King Sporty, an old friend of Bob's from Trench Town, who relocated early to Miami, and married soul singer Betty Wright. Bob heard him sing "Buffalo Soldier" in Sporty's nightclub there. The great irony of the song is that the Buffalo Soldiers were freed black men who were used by the American government to subdue Native Americans, not exactly a noble pursuit. - Roger Steffens, Marley biographer of "So Much Things to Say: The Oral History of Bob Marley," which includes interviews about the song with Sporty and Ms. Wright. |
