Thickening ALM on the sole of the foot can make walking painful and be mistaken for a plantar wart. ALM may be hard to recognise at first if the patch of darkened skin is small and looks like little more than a stain or bruise. At a hospital in New York, Marley would find out that the cancer had spread to his brain, lungs and liver. Over the years, and despite treatment, the cancer spread throughout his body and the star passed away in May 1981 aged only 36 due to the spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain. Typically, most melanomas are caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds, but ALM is more likely to be caused by genetic factors. But in actuality, the star had developed a “rare, aggressive form of skin cancer” known medically as acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM).

Following a check-up from a doctor in Paris, the musician revealed to his manager that the toe had been infected on-and-off for years prior. In 1977, during a tour around France, in one such game he kicked the ball with such force that his toenail became detached.

So I have to find a way, I have to go inside myself, into the bright and dark corners of myself and stay with the time or stay one foot ahead of the time." And yeah, there's a song in the album called "Money Love." "Money Love" is really what's going on today. Did I say what I really need to say and want to say?" And I went back, and I listened to this record, sometime after like six weeks and I thought, "Wow! Jimmy, it looks like you caught it this time." That's why I say, yeah, we are at a strange place in time at the same time inspiring, "Money Love." And sometime you go back and listen to the record after you've made it for some time and say, "Oh, did I capture what I really want to capture? Baltin: There are people who've been listening to your music for 50 years and you have that relationship with your fans. Cliff: I have to say Bob Dylan was one of the most inspirational artist to me as well as Stevie Wonder. And I love some of Bob Dylan's songs that he wrote, "My Back Pages," things like that. I would like to express a lot of the things to a live audience. And so it seems to be [chuckle] a part of my way to write, I didn't realize that. Cliff: Yes, "Moving On." I was at the point of time in my life where I said, "Woah boy. Jimmy Cliff: It's part of my way to write without even being conscious that I do that.
