Contribution of Marley's Wailers played down in court

The man who signed Bob Marley today played down the contribution of his backing band, the Wailers, who are claiming around £60m (€87.2m) of the reggae legend’s estate.

Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, told a British High Court hearing in London that by the time of the band’s first success, he had no intention of getting involved in contracts with anyone other than Bob Marley.
