Bob Marley and the Wailers originally created the song. One of Bob Marley's sons, Ziggy Marley, redid the song. Bob Marley was credited for writing the song, and both he and the Wailers were credited for producing the song. //**What were the World/political events at the time?**// There wasn't much excitment poltically during the time that this song was written, except for the ongoing Cold War. But there was also the bicentenial which was a holiday celebrating America's 200th birthday. Up until then in the 1970's, men did most of the work, and had a lot more rights than women. But it all began to change when women protested and stood up for what they thought was right, but mostly for their own rights.

For clothing and accessories, everything was extreme. Long pants with bellbottoms, hip-huggers (tight pants), polyester leisure suits with wide lapels buttoned low, silky shirts, platform shoes, and big gold jewelry was the style in this era!!!! Hairstyles included afros, long straight hair parted in the middle, sideburns, and big cheesy moustaches. Also, some great movies that came out were, Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars, The Omega Man (the older version of "I am Legend"), Godfather, American Graffiti, Towering Inferno, Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Rocky, and Breaking Away. Music in the 70's was mainly disco and rock, but Bob Marley sang a different style: Reggae. Entertianing stuff included disco dancing, television, pet rocks (I'm not joking!!!), mood rings, and telephone booth stuffing (to see how many people could fit inside a telephone booth). Video games included Pong, Space Invaders, Asteroid, and Atari Football. Also lava lamps were BIG in the 70's. Overall, EVERYTHING in the 70's was put to EXTREMES!!!!
