THE 200 GREATEST SONGS
Throwback Thursdays: When Bob Marley Met Stevie Wonder - LargeUp
In 1980, TV audiences tuned in for the answer to the question who shot J.R. on “Dallas”; Moscow hosted the Summer Olympic Games which were boycotted by many nations; war broke out between Iran and Iraq; Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States and the world mourned after John Lennon was assassinated outside his Dakota apartment in New York City.

MASTER BLASTER (JAMMIN’)
Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder paid tribute to reggae’s most significant act Bob Marley with this single lifted off the ‘Hotter Than July’ album. The disc peaked at #2 in the UK, #5 in America, #2 in Australia, #1 in New Zealand and Top 10 in many European territories. Sadly, Marley would lose his battle with cancer in 1981.
