On a recent episode of Influencers with Yahoo Finance’s Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer, legendary record producer Chris Blackwell explained his reluctance to be photographed with Bob Marley and his band, the Wailers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t want to be, you know, a kind of white management type guy who was hanging around claiming what they’ve helped happen or something like that, you know, because they did,\u201d Blackwell told Yahoo Finance. \u201cHe didn’t need that. He had it all himself. He knew what he knew what he wanted to do. And he knew how to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blackwell, who recently released a memoir called \u201cThe Islander: My Life in Music and Beyond,\u201d grew up in Jamaica, where he developed a lifelong affinity for Rastafari culture. In 1958, he started Island Records, the multinational record label now owned by Universal Music Group. Around a decade later, a mutual friend introduced him to Bob Marley, marking the beginning of a fruitful partnership. Together, the two worked on nine studio albums.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just had a really great sense of how to put together his songs and how to record them,\u201d Blackwell said.<\/p>\n
