Encyclopedia

's Welcome to Jamrock
album, while "Road to Zion
" was released in the U.S.
.
In 1976, Bunny Wailer
released his solo album Blackheart Man
featuring a song called "Bide Up". It is no coincidence that the chorus ("The master has come back"), lyrics ("for the dark clouds to bring rain, then comes the sun to shine again"), and the general sense of the song reappear on Damian's version. Wailer being one of the two last living members of the original Bob Marley and the Wailers, his closeness with the Marley family is evident.
The single was played on radio and has charted in the UK at #74, but there is no video for it.
