Jaffe accepted and became a member of the bandРІР‚в„ўs inner circle for the next three years. The singer/songwriter, then a member of the Wailers, invited him to Jamaica. He was 42 years old.Р”В«orn in New York City, Jaffe says he first met Marley there in 1973. Tosh, disc jockey Jeff РІР‚ВFree IРІР‚в„ў Dixon and Doc Brown were killed by gunmen at his St Andrew home in September 1987. The Sunday Observer tried to contact Jaffe by e-mail, but there was no response.

He said the shipment raised US$75,000, more than enough to complete Legalize It, which was released in 1976 by Columbia Records. Fidel would have shot our ass out of the sky,РІР‚Сњ Jaffe related. With the sun going down, the world couldnРІР‚в„ўt be more beautiful. РІР‚СљWe flew beneath the radar, 100 feet above the water. He (Jaffe) and a pilot flew to Miami with hundreds of pounds of ganja aboard a DC-3 craft to Miami where it was sold. Jaffe says Tosh gave the operation, which originated in Jamaica, his blessing. РІР‚СљIt wasnРІР‚в„ўt seen as dope and it was supporting the farmer, the community, the Rastas, so this was not dealing drugs. And in the world I was living in Jamaica, herb was not a bad thing,РІР‚Сњ he added. РІР‚СљWeed brings the foreign currency on the island, man. I had already sold herb in the US, I had friends in the business, thatРІР‚в„ўs what they were doing, my best friends from school and people in Jamaica,РІР‚Сњ Jaffe says in the book. РІР‚СљI was trying to make a record and we were broke, so that wasnРІР‚в„ўt like some genius idea. The rest, he claims, came from a one-off ganja operation. Jaffe says Tosh got US$1,000 from Marley, which was enough to record three songs. In it, Jaffe claims Tosh was short on cash to record Legalize It and shopping for a record label after splitting with Marley and the Wailers band in late 1973. Released last year, the book is written in French and was released by Camion Blanc, a small French publisher. Jaffe and French university lecturer Dr Jeremie Kroubo Dagnini co-wrote Bob Marley & The Wailers: 1973-1976, an extension of One Love: Life with Bob Marley and the Wailers, a 2003 book Jaffe co-authored with Roger Steffens, widely considered the authority on Marley and The Wailers. But was the РІР‚ВStepping RazorРІР‚в„ў part of an illegal ganja trade that reportedly thrived in Jamaica during the 1970s?Р”Р„ book co-written by American Lee Jaffe, his former associate, says Tosh was part of a 1976 smuggling operation that raised money to fund his groundbreaking album Legalize It. He wrote several songs about its spiritual powers and was a passionate advocate for its legalisation.
