Bob Marley awarded English Heritage blue plaque
Jamaican singer-songwriter Bob Marley has been honoured with an English Heritage blue today (Tuesday 1 October), joining the likes of Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, George Frideric Handel and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The plaque marks number 42 Oakley Street, the Chelsea house where Marley lived in 1977. It was while living here that he and the Wailers finished recording their album Exodus, which featured some of his biggest hits, including 'Jamming', 'Waiting in Vain', 'Three Little Birds' and 'One Love'. With this address as his Chelsea home, Marley said he regarded London "as a second base," often playing football with his bandmates at the pitches in nearby Battersea Park.
