The Magnificent Talent of Rastafari

Rastafari certainly was a young man of magnificent talent indeed... He praised God, as Abraham did, in his chant and dance with true glee, Bob Marlyn and Peter Posh helped him become a raggae star; some folks thought he was crazy with those long, braided hair. Since ninenteen-seventy when hippies abounded, and revolted against the American Government with protest... Rastafari wrote great songs of many themes for the oppressed and poor who were denied civil liberties in their own land. Listen to those songs, feel the vibrant beat in the his unique music and walking in his shoes you can sing with him and become his friend, because Rasatfari dreamed of seeing all peoples embrace around the troubled world... has he died in vain or left an indelible legacy for those adoring his everlasting beat?
