The album saw the Melody Makers, the children of Bob Marley and Rita Marley- Ziggy, Stephen, Sharon and Cedella- who had been organised into a child band by their parents a decade earlier, step into global spotlight for their own talent- at the time public focus largely drawn towards band leader, lead vocalist and the album's chief composer Ziggy Marley.
